FWIW, I have embraced it and feel so much more content. Some of that is due to getting older (I am middle aged) and worrying less about what people think of me. I have adapted some things, because whilst I'm not good at relationships, I like people, so I go to the gym (where I am around them but don't have to interact) and church (ditto). I work full time, so take that as my main area where I have to relate to people, but it's professional and therefore "safe". I have also learnt that people with big families and lots of friends and a busy social life are not always happy, and some crave solitude and time alone. I hope you find a similar equanimity in your search.
