One of the main reasons why I don't have friends is simply that my "drive" or "need" to socialize is low

OP, are you saying your looks aren't the reason for your lack of social life? Didn't expect a bluepilled take from you, but perhaps you are just better looking than I originally thought.

God that sounds so exhausting, hardly worth it, no? I've had the alternative dynamic a couple of times (high pre-existing status) but in university and once post-university, due to certain things I'm good at that were valued by those particular groups. Was bored to talk to the people in the group anyway (lack of depth), wasn't able to leverage into pussy (too scared to act on indicators of interest)

maybe it's exhausting for you, but for a genuine extrovert it's not
and the benefits def are there
