    That’s a cliché. Introverts do have a small social circle that they actually trust. And if its something that the internet can help with, then we use it without hesitation.

      The internet only helps in limited ways. my career in IT is largely down to the fact I can do it all myself without much need for others.

      I’m coming to terms that I’ve basically lived a false life because of this. If I had had more friends and resources to lean on growing up I would have gone into construction, heavy equipment, or farming.

      I’m trying to change that now. But, I look around and see more clearly that the ones who have success in these trades have a good social bond with those around them. I’ve never known how to do that. Really lacked the confidence when I was younger. Might be time to throw myself in the deep end and try anew.
