I can certainly understand that preference, even though I don't share it. I will, however, say that, when phrases like "humans are social animals" get deployed, it's quite easy to read them as implied criticism of those of us who need substantial amounts of time alone.
- CydeWeys 9y agoI am one of those people who need substantial amounts of time alone too. That doesn't mean that I'm not a social animal though, and that there isn't some balance of social contact that is desired. There's only a very tiny percentage of people who truly desire no human contact at all (think hermits); merely being introverted still does not get you close to that level.
