I prefer to spend most of my time alone and socialize infrequently and very specifically. My lifestyle is very amenable to that.

However, I'm not sure that that would impact on whether I would join a church or similar group. I do enjoy groups where I know everyone fairly well. Big family gatherings appeal to me. I thrived in the church environment as a kid because I knew everyone, everyone knew me and I was able to be myself.

In order to recreate that, I would have to start cold and I'm pretty sure I don't want to do that. But if all the people I know best were to magically form some kind of group that met regularly and with some ritual, it might really appeal to me.
