@windwalker I'm glad you wrote this. I realize the same; one on one is what works best for me. No desire to be crowds or parties. I do belong to a poetry group and I like that but it doesn't require much energy and I find it stimulating. I too use to have a lot of social events but now I don't really miss them. I'm very happy with a cat in my lap and a book in my hand. I have a few dear friends so I'm not in a vacuum. My family is scattered all over. I miss them but not the strain that families often bring. Who knows, life takes many twists. May be kicking up our heals again one of these days. in
