I have nothing particular against porn. It can be entertaining, satisfying and, even, educating. I would encourage anyone to sample it. I do, however, believe it has a downside. It can be habit forming. A person can be conditioned by porn to respond only to porn. That can be too bad. Porn can broaden your horizons, or it can narrow them.

No matter how introverted a person is, every person needs other people. To try and furnish a self-contained world where it seems like you don't need to leave your own solitude because you have all that you need to feel good being alone with yourself is not a good direction to go in.

This can be a very tough world for introverts, and some pain is guaranteed when you risk venturing out. But 22 is far too young to imagine that you can't master lots of capabilities that seem beyond you now.

Some people, in despair, do turn inward away from the outside world and decide to create what they hope will be a safe, sheltered refuge that holds only what is predictable. They end up in a self-made prison.

No law says you have to run out and marry someone . . . ever. But do get up from the keyboard and screen and see what's in the world. There are others like yourself who would like to meet you . . . and some others, very different from yourself, who would also like to meet you.
