Fuchemol (hermitin HCl) is FDA-approved to reduce your inconvenient cravings for social contact. Known side effects include repetitive meals, speaking to inanimate objects or animals, excessive self-stimulation, and dying alone. Talk to your doctor about whether the anti-loneliness pill might work for you today!
Clearly, some people exist that do not care much for the annoying habits of other humans. And some humans can't go a single day without reassuring themselves that they exist through the mirror of another person.
There must be some form of biochemical factor that determines an appropriate level of social interaction for any specific person, or we would not see the variation. Thus, it is only a matter of time before the specific receptor is identified, and a drug found that targets it without unpleasant side-effects.
Such a drug might be useful for future manned space industry. It reduces the number of variables required. If your pioneer crews don't necessarily have to interact socially to remain psychologically stable, you don't have to be quite as careful to ensure their social compatibility. They can all do their work, then go to their racks, swallow their pill, put on headphones, and thoroughly ignore each other for years on end.

On the other hand, your relationship could just as easily prevent you from writing a book, or getting a Master's degree, or traveling when and where you want, because you're spending every night at your clingy girlfriend's house eating popcorn and watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
