I'm not sure I'd classify myself as a loner(married, fairly large social circle) but I definitely value my self reflection time. I do think I tend to be more 'dense' in my social interactions as the article suggests. Ie if I"m gonna spend a lot of hours doing something social(parties, meet-ups etc), I'd prefer there to be some observable benefit. There are plenty of ways to I know of it improve/expand my knowledge on my own: skunkworks projects, reading etc. Think it's pretty much like anything else in life: find the balance of alone time and socialization that works for you and you'll be healthier and happier for it.
