We are a social species, so we are all social individuals at a basic level. In everyday speech, however, we refer to social people as those who thrive and seem happier when in the company of others. Usually talkative, these people prefer to spend their free time with others rather than alone. Many consider me to be very sociable because I attend social events and get along well with others.
But if you look around, you'll find the truly sociable people -they prefer to spend their lunch time in the company of others, rather than reading a book. They always adapt to the needs of the group they're in, rather than go their separate way. They are always comfortable in the company of others, happy to do nothing but chat, and they see all strangers as potential friends. I like sociable people a lot
-I'm just not one of them.

Uhm.... how "not sociable" are you? You don't like people's company? Or like it only for part of your time? Or maybe you like only the company of selected, close friends? I like company, but need time alone on a regular basis... I think that the occasional need to be alone is present in individuals who have an active interior life, so that they need to be in a dialogue with their interior self.
