I don't like being alone but I would rather be by myself, in a quiet room doing something I enjoy than doing a lot of normie activities. It seems like most people aren't very interesting and don't have anything of much depth to say. That's probably why they like to engage in small-talk, because they've got nothing interesting to discuss and would have to sit in silence which is the bane of the normie mind.
I would much rather have a small social circle of people who share the same interests, beliefs and aren't afraid to do things that are not socially approved.
