would you say you were social ? do you have many friends? and how important are these things to you?
is there any shame in not being social ? or lonely?
Re: social
Introverts aren’t usually social, but it depends on how much of an introvert you are . Moderate introversion is ok and gets you by just fine. Extreme introversion could hinder normal functioning. There is no shame in being an introvert as long as you accept it.
I have few close friends, but they don’t mean the world to me. Only my family and extended family, I grew up with, mean the world to me.
Re: social
We used to socialise a lot but it seemed that many people are quite toxic and didn’t add any richness to our lives and it was a lot of waste of time and money so I decided to stop socialising. There is a need to connect with people and that is satisfied by hanging at the lake and talking to other parents of athletes. If you have a good relationship with your spouse then you dont need anyone else.
Re: social
i agree with that i don’t see many benefits of being social a part from the fact that i guess its just nice to know people .
Re: social
Yes. As @Bobby1 rightly pointed out. Most people are toxic these days. They dump their own inner frustrations which they invite upon them due to their ways of life & their selfishness & ignorance & make others feel miserable too just like them. It becomes very important to be selective whom you let into your personal space. Especially if you are content being in your own personal space. If you find like minded people with similar beliefs and viberations around whom you feel comfortable then good. If not, personally to me, my sleep is more important 
Re: social
Am I social? Yes. Am I a social butterfly or the life of the party? No. I am a wallflower, an introvert and I am fine with it.
