And how does your social skills compare now from when you actually had the desire to socialize?
I met up with two people this week on two different days. The first person, I enjoyed meeting up with them and was glad I got out of the house. The second meetup was so problematic that I am still angry and frustrated about it two days later.

Socializing with people online comes easy. I enjoy it and spend too much time doing it!

Your last question really intrigues me because my social skills now are actually about the same as they were back when I was much more actively social - they weren't very good then either, but I went out a lot more and was often in situations where socializing was required. In the past I've had some extremely extroverted and gregarious friends, which makes it all easier, but my husband and I are both introverts.

I wonder how much living with someone else affects the lack of desire to have a lot of friends.
