Example: tonight is yet another I've opted to stay in alone, rather than go out w friends. I can tell this bothers some people, but eh.
I would interpret this in one of two ways using Socionics:
1) Low energy levels. You acknowledge the value of socializing, but it tires you quickly and you need time to rest, reflect, and recharge. You're an introvert.
2) You disvalue Fe. You want to pursue your interests, work on personal projects, prefer one-on-one and smaller group interactions, maintain and strengthen the relationships with people you already know/like/etc. You have more constructive and more fulfilling things to do than extended socializing.
