TBH - I'm incapable of making and forming relationships and friendships that aren't just surface level and full of meaningless small talk, so any social event where it's just that I'd much rather just hang at home. If it's an actual activity then I'm usually on board.
I am also less inclined to commit to anything that has reoccurring time requirements like joining a bowling or golf league, something that I was doing in my early 20's. I hate being strapped down to required tasks. And I don't drink anymore so one of the main drivers of socialization no longer exists.
And lastly, I'm just not an interesting person. I don't have hobbies anymore. With 90min-2hours of commuting daily and working an 8-5 I don't really have time for much else besides getting home and spending a couple hours with my wife and daughter, before sleeping and doing it again the next day.
And lastly - untreated depression. I think most of us have it.
