I know a lot of very old people who do charity work, and will continue until they fall over or until they just physically can't anymore. Younger people are at school, a very social institution. After school they do sports or hobby, usually a very social activity. When it's their birthday, a party is organized. When you are older, you have plenty of social interaction at work. One of our colleagues is in a divorce. She's often miserable but gets a lot of support from her colleagues, she's invited at every activity, gets emotional support etc. I do understand what you are trying to say though!
