Another introvert here. Has nothing to do with generational anything. My mom told me I've been the same way since I was an infant. I was always happiest by myself and uncomfortable in big groups. When I'm in a big group, I don't know how else to describe it other than it really just tires me very quickly.

People at work always invite me to things. I rarely take them up on it. I guess they feel sorry for me and really don't understand why someone would choose to be alone most of the time and prefer it that way. Very infrequently I will meet up with a close group of friends like for a birthday party or something. I have fun for a couple of hours but then after that I'm pretty much good for a couple of months or so.

Most people do suck. I have a few very good friends whose company I enjoy a great deal, but even from them I need my space a good amount of the time.

My mother and I run a motel off Route 50 which is a lot less busy since the bypass went in.

We don't get many customers nowadays.

I crave contact but Mother is VERY judgmental.

You sound like another of those types who doesn't understand that not everybody wants to go to "clubs" and finds those types of things appealing. Going somewhere to pay too much to drink shitty drinks and listen to shitty music in order to grind on some skanks leg in the hope of getting laid by some dirty broad has never sounded appealing to me. There are better ways to go about meeting higher quality people, if that is your thing. It sounds even worse if getting assaulted with a gun is apparently another typical part of this scene for you. I would definitely not tolerate that to do something that I don't even think is fun.

No. It sounds like I might of witnessed other cliques friends bailing on them in a scuffle.

Being around long enough, you realize that's a thing to be concerned with when considering new people to join your group. And the older you get, the more friends move away, get married, etc.

Like any other human, I need a certain level of human interaction. I do like my alone time, but it all depends on circumstance. If I had to pick human interaction that required me to go to a wedding or being alone I would pick being alone. If I had to pick human interaction that involved being around my friends in a casual setting, playing cards, drinking, etc or being alone I am picking friends..

The wife and kids are the only people I need to be around. I do try to get out with the guys once a month.

My wife likes people a lot more than me, so we end up at kids friendly parties a lot. It can be fun when I'm in the mood, but sometimes it just makes me tired.

If you call it "human interaction" there may be a problem...

I'm not a huge extrovert but I would never call talking to fellow peeps "interaction"

I need to be part of a team or I get a little off. Whether that's at work or sports, just having that aspect is essential. Now I do have moments where I'll just go for a drive or stay up late just to have some alone time.

When I was in my 20s I was always on the go, now I would rather spend time with my kids or just left alone. I do everything by myself if my kids can't help me. I just don't like to be held to a schedule or waiting on someone.
