I have very little time to "socialize" and I don't miss any of it. Used to when in my 20s but now in my 50s, I prefer to do stuff on my own ground/schedule. I turn down most work events (unless at lunch and even then!) as I have no interest to use my evening time for them. I'm very happy to work with them and have fun, but my time after work is mine. We used to be so busy going from one friend to the next that we ended up rushing to get our stuff done. So little by little, those friends stopped sending us invites and we lost contact. I don't miss it. At all.

Sure I have a friend here and there for a lunch or dinner but that limits the interaction. I have more than enough of my job, house, motorhome, hubby and my 6 pets to keep me busy. No time to whine and get bored. hihi I don't have enough in a week to do all I want to get done.

I'm sure we are far from being alone in that situation.
