I think you shouldn't be hellbent on what you want to do till you enter other half of your twenties...I was not sure what do I really want to do for lifetime job and sticking to one thing is boring...socializing is kind of exploration. one shouldn't completely avoid it.

I don't think the advice was to avoid socializing. I think it's just to spend time socializing with people who care about or share values with.

The article didn't say how you're supposed to find those people in the first place though. I guess it assumes you were concentrating on pleasing others until this point, and have been exposed to different groups already.
