I'm an only, had some social anxiety growing up & came from a strict religious upbringng. I spent a lot of time reading.
When I went to school, work & church, I was fairly outgoing. Especially as I matured. When I was away from there, I didn't usually stay in touch. I would think of them, from time to time. I'm fine when I'm around people. When I'm away from them, it's a little bit of out of sight, out of mind.
Several years ago, I went through a major health event. Most of my interactions were online. Most of them still are. On one hand, I'm an observer. On the other hand, I'm a participant. I tend to be more of a loner, independent, free spirited & self contained.
Most of the time I'm satisfied by communicating on forums or by brief exchanges with the neighbors. I sometimes choose to be around people, but, I don't need to be. Occasionally I wish I wanted more connections. It's not fair to others, though. I can retreat for weeks & months at a time. I'm a good friend. I'm just not one to get together with often.
