It depends on the person - like Forest said.

For some people, they have to spend their time with others because that's just what they do, it's how they're 'programmed', it's in their DNA. They don't care who they're hanging out with as long as they're with someone all the time. Very social. (I realize now that I basically just repeated what Forest said, but that's pretty much my opinion.)

Similar to Forest, there are other people who just like quiet and peacefulness and alone time. Often times, they prefer to stay out of groups and don't like talking much.

For me, I am more of the latter. I don't really like working in big groups at school, I like working alone, mostly because I feel like I get more work done if I don't have to explain to people my methods of doing things - it's just simpler. However, like, on the internet, I really like talking ad socializing with new people because it makes me feel welcoming and I like making people feel good, if it's something simple I can do - like welcoming a new user onto the wiki. I think it's healthy to be a little bit of both. Social, but sometimes reserved. Not nosy, not aloof, but an equal measure of both.

I've droned on long enough. Red out.
