I agree with you -- that is a dumb question!
Kidding!
What exactly is 'truly social' and why do you have to become it?
I'm in a similar situation -- even though I have a good time when I go out with friends, I'd often prefer to do my own thing. However, you can't exactly say "I don't want to hang out with you" because that could damage the relationship. I've had pushy friends show up at my door and drag me out when I've told them the truth, so now I guess it's just easier to tell a white lie. Do I experience some cognitive dissonance when I do this? Yes. However, I often have things that I'd rather do than go out, so I feel righteous in living congruently with my values. First things first!
