I don't like going out either. That flash in the head offering excuses each time I have agreed to a social obligation is so familiar. Nice way of putting it.

Unless you actually want more friends than you have, and feel the lack, there's no problem. In ten years time, would you rather look back and say 'I wrote this amount' or 'I had this amount of friends I spent time with'? With me, the writing always wins.

If you partied all the time and never sat down and created other people would call you a loser instead. Not that I'm saying having friends is a waste of time, just there's room for different people in this world.

If you wanted to write yet also wanted lots of going out, now that would be a problem. Writing is a sedentary, solitary pursuit.

I do force myself into a certain level of interaction though, about once a month for a few hours, just to keep myself sane. Not enough for other people's tastes, but I'm happy as I am.

The errands thing... I'm exactly the same. Shopping, I mostly do online. But I still have to deal with deliveries and paperwork/dentist etc. The way I get through it is to promise myself a treat if I do them.

The funny thing is people who only know me slightly never believe I'm an introvert. I'm just a really loud, over-confident introvert. Apparently that's not allowed. Introverts have to be quiet and shy at all costs or else they're not allowed to prefer to be left alone.

Super late reply, but there is such a thing as a loud and confident introvert. Just because you navigate social situations in the same way as an extrovert might doesn't mean that you don't still need that time alone to recharge. (I have the same experience; my coworkers and patients don't believe I'm a introvert either.)

It's not about how comfortable you are or aren't with other people; it's how you relax and recharge. Just because something is fun and enjoyable doesn't mean it isn't also exhausting, and vice versa.
