>Anon, let's have a test. Imagine going to a movie theater

That is the best example possible. I was asked to go to the theater more than 30 times, because most people like some kind of movie genre, and so as expected people ask me to go see some movie with them. Theater is a perfect example of how ruin experience. At home I can watch every movie I want on a nice screen, I can make myself delicious food if I feel like it (not needing to bring my own salt because ordering salty popcorn means you will eat so much salt that you cannot taste the popcorn itself anymore, they do that to sell more beverages). So not only I choose time and movie, but I also enhance the experience with food, and beer if I want (I like to have a beer before eating, it makes me hungry and food tastes better). I can pause, go to the toilet, I can fart, I can sit in a comfortable position, I can rewind if I like some scene, also I like to watch Japanese movies with Japanese subtitles because my Japanese is good enough to understand, and if I don't I can pause and use dictionary and add the vocabulary to my anki vocabulary deck. I cannot do any of that in a cinema that offers slightly better sound (low frequencies sound better in a theater hall than my room). I went to the theater couple times with friends and was always annoyed because I wanted to rewatch the movie properly at home alone, but then I already kind of saw it so it was ruined.

>I don't see why you cannot have a meaningful conversation at a restaurant.

Restaurant offers nothing positive to the conversation experience while being very inconvenient . I would rather have it over the internet when I can choose a topic I find interesting. My friends are not boring, they seem to enjoy each others company, many times I introduced my friends to each other and they also became friends.

I hate socializing. I have my two brothers and mom visiting me for Christmas ATM and I can't wait for them to leave me alone.

I was working at the hotel as a waiter/ barista/ bartender/ porter etc, basically whatever was needed. my average shift was starting at 7 am ending at 11pm during the week, and about 1- 2 am during weekends. i had a brake between i believe 2 pm till 4 pm, but 3pm was staff dinner time, so i didn't get any sleep during that time. i was not getting any day off, because i wanted to get as much money as i could in 12 months out of that job. first 3 months were hell, but after 6 months i got really used to sleep 4-5 hours, you learn to fall asleep in couple minutes, and wake up last minute to get ready for a shift. i know people are waking up earlier to have a breakfast and what not- i still never have a breakfast/ newspaper/ tv in the morning, i wake up just on time to wash myself, dress up and get out. nowdays i sleep at least 6 hours, 8 hours are rare and i just feel rested after 6 easily, however for example last month i had 3 week 3-4 hours sleep cycle due to various work related tasks needed to be completed. it just takes me one 12h bed session and one day of just chilling out to get recharged and start over the next day.
