That's interesting and mostly relatable. After a few months of happy isolation during lockdowns, I realized that I do have some meagre needs for the good society of a friend from time to time.
But yeah not a lot of people are OK with that sort of "out of sight out of mind" type friendship. The people who are you treat like gold, though. Or at least I do, because I actually need them.
I'm sure it depends on the introvert, but I have two really good friends. I find I can hang out with those friends basically without draining my social battery, so they're my main goto for socializing.
You've got to suck really hard to leverage surface tension while fisting.
Pro move but it can be done
