I never had any problem relating to social interactions. When I was younger I had a very active social life. I was still only very young when I decided I was never going to own my own home and marriage wasn't on the cards either so it was time to kick back and party. I had a trade and was well paid and could afford to do pretty much anything that took my interest so that's what I did, until I started burning out in my late 30s anyway.

For the most part I enjoy socialising with others but it's not something I actually need. I can and often do go for weeks without speaking to another human and I don't miss them but when I go out I'm not anxious or shy, I'm one of those people that starts conversations with random strangers.
