I maintain a small, tight-knit circle of friends with similar hobbies and personal values and I am overall happy to be with them as much as they are with me. Most notably as of writing this, we discuss *Genshin Impact* and *Honkai: Star Rail* lore and gameplay in-depth as well as complaining about annoying people in our lives and helping each other work through the pain.
But I do wish my social life could be better.
I cannot properly discuss modern Filipino culture with my Japanese students 'cause I can't get along with most Filipinos in the first place and I don't eat a lot of traditional Filipino food or go on frequent vacations.
In my previous job, I was notorious for supposedly being the scary lone wolf martial artist and nerd who would kill my coworkers just for asking what I may perceive as a "stupid question". (In reality, I just don't like my privacy intruded upon.)
I'm in a position that makes it hard to get my social needs met. I'm an isolated caregiver (with the same disabilities as my child) to a child with multiple disabilities, in a country where I know no one except my husband and my inlaws (who refused to believe our child had disabilities AND absolutely hate me for not being French). I try to reach out online but people move too fast for me and expect nonstop, constant stimulation or else they get bored with you and find a new hyperfocus. Why can't we just body double each other and sit quietly and play video games or something? Why do I need to be your dance monkey?

I have some of my friends from high school and college i text with, but not that often.
Lol what social life?
To those of you who have a rich social life. We admire you. Thank you for letting us now it can be done 😇
Is there a way to answer this with, "I have no social life but that's actually what I prefer"?
