I can hosestly say that alot of my favourite memories of my life have been when I've been by myself, doing my own thing. So I've never really placed that much value on having an active social life, which was kind of reaffirmed to me in my early-mid twenties whenever I did step out of my comfort zone socially, and 9 times out of 10 it would be what I would consider a negative experience and I should have just stayed home instead.

I guess the problem is you keep yourself to yourself for so long that you have no one/nowhere else to vent to exept an old 90's board about the squish squash
