Haha.... I was totally like that, I was lucky to have 3 or 4 friends throughout my entire childhood. So I just spent the bulk of my childhood just making due, and doing things on my own.
In fairness, and in retrospect, I was a pretty crappy kid, and didn't really deserve any friends to be completely honest.
As an adult I massively have grown to appreciate it. I love the fact that I was conditioned to not need to constantly be surrounded by people all the time, and talking about what the best type of siding is, or if Lady Gaga lip synced during the Super Bowl. I honestly could not care less.
It drives my partner a bit nuts as she's a social butterfly, but when everyone else is having these vapid conversations, I'll usually be found making the food, or just sitting quietly on the sideline counting the minutes until everyone leaves. Yeah, I'm the actual "You must be fun at a party!" guy.
