> No social life is really really bad for your long term health outcomes.

Fyi, this pop-psych wisdom was never meant to be universal. For hardcore introverts, little to no social life can be the healthy optimum (assuming you're functioning in society and not counting your coworkers as part of your social life, etc).

They just don't say that because it doesn't apply to most people. Hardcore introverts are relatively rare, and it risks misinterpretation by normal people to not fix their social lives wondering if they're one of those.

As someone with strong introvert bias it’s not impossible for me to imagine how basic social life might be almost unbearable for a hardcore introvert. But I would classify that as a rare disability, to be honest. There’s a danger in more average spectrum people over-identifying as isolationist and then leaning into isolation as a solution to discomfort, in terms of self -damage. we agree.
