I would join the bandwagon and chide you for making such broad blanket assumptions, OP, but depending on your online history I can see how you might naturally arrive at that assumption without it resulting from stereotyping. There was a period of my online life where I tended to interact largely with other people like me who didn't go out often and were very shut-in types. Made things awkward when there was a sudden jump in my social life a little while later, and I basically stopped talking about my offline life because I didn't want to alienate my online friends with how much I was going out, partying, ect. when (I thought) most of them were still just hanging around at home all the time when they weren't at work/school. Took us all a while to realize that many of us were doing this because of our previous perceptions of fandom/each other.
If you are the "bullied loner kid" (and especially if you got into fandom because that's what you are/consider yourself), then I wouldn't be too surprised if the people you hung out with (interacted with a lot, related to the most, or even just learned about their personal histories the most) were also like that, and thus ended up with the perception that this was the norm for fandom.
Go ahead, be surprised (all these years and I sometimes have to remind myself that a lot of people in fandom have active offline social lives). Just try not to act on it/say stuff about it/ect - keep the surprise to yourself. :)
