Slashdotters aren’t human, you insensitive clod. Humans are social animals, we on the other hand, are not.

Not true. We’re social, but only with our own kind.

I tried to be social sometimes, but never succeeded. Society dictated that I had to go some wedding parties with parents, and I would often find myself alone going round and round so as not to stand all the time at the same place, and I had nothing else to do. I didn’t know anybody, nobody knew me. I just waited and wished my parents would be over with the party now, and we would go home.

When I go back to my hometown once in a while, I try to avoid social contact as much as possible. I even consider running or hiding if it allows me to avoid social contact.
