How social are you?

[Oryx]

Toujours, maybe you can improve your scale. Perhaps it could have two axes, one for how much you devote yourself to social activities and one which rates your ability to function normally without social interaction. Or one which is how social you are and one which is how social you want to be.

I actually didn't think people would use it other than me. xD; But that makes sense, even when I used to barely hang out with people outside of school, I still wanted to, and I described myself as "a social person trapped in a shy person's body", lol. How about this?

Spoiler:

On that scale, I would consider myself a 6,8...so around here.

on a scale from 1 to 10, i'd say 9. although i'm online a lot (not here, but browsing in general), all this happens after 12 o'clock according to my time zone. During the day, i'm with my friend meeting new people and having random conversation. I'm not shy of a thing (except stuff i really should be doing), and i try everything that others think is 'ok'.

2-7, the number vastly increases with alcohol because drinking dissolves most of my usual vitriol that keeps me from giving a sh-t about strangers. I relish being alone but I enjoy company on occasion. I've just moved back in with SO so it's been nice and only rarely annoying to constantly have another presence about.

In objective situations - work, debate, etc - I'm completely fine and at ease, but I generally suck at small talk and am usually thinking of something else or analyzing what the person just said. This is why most of my friends are 30+ years old - they expect me to speak & think intelligently and know my sh-t, and reciprocate. With few exceptions, it's very hard for me to relate with most my age or younger.
