I agree I might have read too much into it but on reflection that reaction came after the years of hearing that very phrase 'how can you stand doing such and such thing ...' from people who really wanted to ask 'why aren't you out there having fun like the rest of us/other people', all the time not realising that perhaps I was actually having fun doing what I was doing.

Yes, some of the best moments in my life do involve people but only in the 'more than one person' sense and not in the 'more than 3 or 4 person'. And yes, some of them do also involve just myself.

To reiterate, I do agree with you about not making your life all about one thing, I just don't agree with you about what is 'fun'.

I agree that the best interactions are generally one-on-ones or 3 people at most. And I understand your first point. I was thinking that my question might just be a symptom of my personal burnout.
