You sound like the sort of person they are describing. They don't "need" to find anyone at all. They know who they are, and seem self aware enough to know that

  Yes that's exactly what I meant with the part of my comment in brackets. But just to clarify: I always thought 'I don't need no-one else'. And while that is still true, I could do fine without the people I know now, my main point on this is: since I know them, and meet them from time to time, my life simply got more interesting. Is that truly needed? Well, no, I wouldn't immediately die without it, but it surely did add a myriad of interesting aspects. More to think about when alone, for one. Something to look forward to which I couldn't imagine I'd ever look forward to when I was younger. Finally the realization of why others seems to crave social interactions, I just never truly understood that earlier. Realising I can go on with being myself, but still from time to time have social interactions which are actually worth it. Etc. Not sure if this is all clear, I mean, I still have a hard time expressing feelings like this :P

    Congratulations! You're winning at life! I'm working on it. But I think you've got the right idea. Being an introvert, all this introverts need to be alone empowerment bullshit pisses me off, as much as any other extreme. It's not about avoiding people, it's about knowing how much interaction you can handle before needing to recharge.
