I enjoy getting together with my friends & I like my alone time as well. While I enjoy being social, there are times I need to retreat to my woman cave.
I am social 8-16 hrs a day...at work...I need 'my' time and it does not involve needing others around me in my times of privacy and relaxation...sometimes it's difficult enough socializing w/my own dogs...

Add school to that 8 hrs at work and you have me. No thanks I've had my fill.
For males, I think it's important to focus on one's personal goals. Even at work. Meaning, focus your socialization around a goal or task. Don't waste your time listening to people whine, complain, want to share their personal lives. Just focus on the task. Be civil, set your boundaries where necessary.
If you have athletic oriented activities or goals outside of work? Focus your socializing on people who have similar interest, goals, and participate. Choose the individuals you share other aspects of life with carefully. Don't waste your time on people who aren't headed in a direction in which you do not care to go.
Socializing for the sake of being "likable" or sociable...is a big waste of time.
