Alone is when I'm happiest. People used to look at me really strangely when I said "I'd been hoping for this since I was fourteen" about the stay home measures during Covid. I think I'm reasonably fun at parties/events/neighbourhood conversations, and I'll go, have a good time, converse and joke around and whatever, but then I need a couple months to come back from it. I have near zero desire to be with people. It's exhausting. There are 3 or 4 people in the world that I spend time with that don't make me feel like that. Good thing my wife is usually one of them.
