Sounds like the author is INTP personality type, if you believe in that classification system. I personally have the same problem. Luckily I am ENTP, which means I quite enjoy a good party with shallow conversations. It also stimulates diffuse thinking, so often a brilliant idea kicks in out of nowhere at 2am. Also the party lets me forget for a while that feeling of intellectual loneliness that’s otherwise ubiquitous. There’s a saying that small minds discuss people, average minds discuss events, great minds discuss ideas. It’s very true.
