One is enjoys your own company and the other is an excuse because you’re too anxious to socialize but would like to and feel lonely otherwise.


This is exactly it. If you drugged me, put me on a plane, and made me parachute into a random social situation while still groggy, I'd do great. I just feel no particular inclination to socialize.
