I think it's possible to care about people, to love them, to have empathy without actually associating with people.
I'm a bit catatonic which makes socializing naturally kind of nonexistent. I'm not yet convinced that being naturally anti-social is necessarily a bad thing.
Basically what i'm saying is you don't have to be a social butterfly to have compassion, love, and empathy. But those qualities certainly help if you want to be a social butterfly.
