Grinity, I am like you, in that I have about 3 friends, those friends are gifted and their kids are too.
I have to be very social for work, so I have a lot of acquaintances, but those people tend to know very little about me. For the most part, I keep my distance from people.
My 2 youngest kids are a lot like me, they can go out and be very social, but overall they prefer privacy, DH is the same. My eldest son can't stand it. He would be out talking to people and socializing all day long, every day. Poor kid was just born into the wrong family in that respect, but he is an actor too, so at least that gives him a lot of opportunity for socialization.
I have always been a bit of a loner, at school I would always be by myself and even now, while many of the people in my business network in pairs, I am always alone. Its a definite personality trait.
I would like to meet more families like us, although I get that we are a little unusual.
