I used to think I disliked people, but it turned out I just disliked a lot of the specific people I hung out with. Once I found different friends, I was perfectly happy to spend the majority of my days in any given week out doing something with them. It's a huge surprise to me, honestly.

I even went to a barbecue yesterday where I knew no one except the hosts, spent probably 95% of it talking to people, and had a lovely time.

Then again, it might just be my personality changing over time.
