If I want to socialize, I'll camp with friends. Growing up, our camping included friends. Either we brought a friend with us or we met friends/cousins at the campground. I don't think we ever socialized with campers we didn't know and hadn't arranged the trip with. We certainly never joined a stranger's campfire. We might say hello as we passed folks, but that was it.
As an adult, I behave the same way.
I don't think it's as much about being social as it is how you internally charge your energy. I'm not a loner or anti-social, I just need to break up my social time with alone time to recharge. Even if someone is quietly doing their own thing in the same room as me, it drains my energy after a while. I need to be people-free for a while.
Others need to have someone around to recharge. Their energy is drained when they are alone. Doesn't mean they are more social than I am, just that their energy builds off other people being around.
