And when home alone for a weekend, I really need to make plans with people so that I can get out of my house and fill my I NEED PEOPLE quotient.
There's a self-perpetuating cycle of suck, you see. I'm home alone; I don't want to leave the house; I need to leave the house and see people; I don't have the motivation to leave the house; I start to get depressed and twitchy; I don't want to leave the house ... and so on.
I'm a Myers-Briggs extrovert. I *need* interpersonal interaction in realspace (not the internet). Talking on the phone can be acceptable, but it's not quite the same, either. Going somewhere where there are people and being alone is the worst. It's not just being around people; it's the interaction part that's required. Talking over coffee, whatever.
Since the vast majority of my friends (both in local realspace and the internet) are M-B introverts, I'm pretty much fucked.
