By socialising I really mean every face-to-face interaction, e.g. talking to friends in lectures, seminars, etc. These things are hard to avoid for want of not being rude, but I don't do anything outside of classes. I think you are right about my family meeting all of my genuine social needs, which probably helps contribute to my lack of social motivation elsewhere.
