Sure! Absolutely. Cognition proceeds socialization - not just in terms of topics of interest, but also relating to reactivity and intensity. I'm much better now, but when I was younger I felt really... distant & unplugged. I just didn't get people.

I've changed a lot since and come out of my shell. I really think the difference for me was becoming a mother: parenthood is universally uniting. I understand other people now and finally I feel like I have common ground. Yay kids wink
