Great post! You offer a good perspective on human interactions, you are absolutely right with no company is better than bad company, it's always been my perspective. Many see me as an introvert and I don't socialize much outside of work but it's not because I'm incapable and certainly am not lonely in anyway. I prefer peace and quiet and time for self reflection, many don't understand that. My personal observation, those who constantly need to be surrounded with groups of people fear spending time with their own thoughts or need reassurance from others that that are good, in other words lack a certain degree of self confidence even if they wont admit it. At the end of the day haters be hatin and judging, we all do what we are comfortable with or makes us happy and that's all that is important.
