IMHO, social interaction is anything where you interact with other people.
> It's my biggest pet peeve of this industry: it has a whole lot of people who just don't want to talk to anyone.
That's very black and white thinking. I like talking to other people, but too much of it is draining. Every day spending all-day or even a half-day working directly with someone else? No thanks.
It's not black and white because that is my whole point: you have to push through the terribleness at the beginning to start feeling the benefits, and most people aren't willing to. I'm a _massive_ introvert myself, btw. But like, I'm not trying to convince you of anything.
