Business as usual for shut-ins, hikikomori, cellar-dwellers, 24/7 gamers etc

some re-energize themselves by going out and sharing with others what their day was like, others need isolation in order to recover from a busy day. Most aren't on either extreme of that spectrum but somewhere in between.

I think you don't need to be a shut-in or 24/7 gamer for this to not have much of an effect on you. I used to be on the far end of this spectrum of needing to share and have others around me in my first 30-40 years and as I got older I changed within a time-span of 5 years that I'd rather stay home. I can still wear my party-hat when I need to and do enjoy it but if given the choice now I rather spend time with my own thoughts.
