That's nicely put
BTW I also noticed that each country has different people who fit the "unsocial-ness" label.
In Italy there was a time when everyone who had red hair was considered as having a poor social life. And then there are many racial/national one's as well ("Chinese guys very socially inconfident", "Typical Indian geek", etc.)
