> I just can't relate to people who love to socialize, go out to dinner all the time, travel all over the place. I just want to be home watching Star Trek or reading.
-------------------Totally. It's such an effort to pretend to be as interested in the minor details of people's lives as everyone else seems to be. When you're taking to people, especially family, something is expected of you. You have to perform up to the par of someone genuinely engaged in the conversation, or you'll offend them. It's such effort.
For that matter, I can't imagine being, say, a TV weatherman or talk show host. How can they be so eerily cheerful every single day? I just couldn't do it.
