No no my friends are fine with it, I just beat myself up sometimes because I feel I'd be happier if I was more outgoing and had an easier time socializing and making friends and acquaintances.

You'd probably be happier if you didn't beat yourself up.

This Neo-local world seems not to be built for introverts or much of anyone else normal.
