Some people can maintain stability - most can not. It has little to do with your "normal" level of socialization, it has much more to do with your ability to focus and block out distraction. By blocking out the need for social interaction with focus on another task, a person can maintain significant stability without perceivable end.

But for how long?? Even if you put a human in a "all alone..." experiment, this person know that there are people outside this "experiment"
and they can return to them.
