Everyone's "socialization needs" are unique. Many introverted people have many close friends, yet the reality remains that introverts will always require time alone to recharge. Friends provide crucial social and emotional demands, yet engagement might deplete your resources. It's fine to be less sociable than others. Others have a lesser social urge, which can manifest itself in a variety of ways: They enjoy spending a lot of time alone. They choose to remain alone, not because they want to be around others more, but because they can't. When they do socialize, they want to do it in moderation.
