Yep. And also don't underestimate the number of people out there who are completely antisocial or sociopathic. The brain works in odd ways, and occasionally genetics can throw some real curve balls. I think it's unfair to assume that everyone's brain works the exact same way and perceives the world as fundamentally social. What's inconceivable to most 'normal' people may well be even a desirable thing to one in a million.
