For the ultimate in solitude, try living at a campus university during the Christmas holidays.

The cure for loneliness is solitude

Isn't this stuff classed as social interaction?, but don't worry, when you get old you won't interact with anybody for days on end, but be careful about becoming too infirm, otherwise you'll get a care package and end up with random people washing your nether regions, or put in a care home with people you'd never have chosen to be with in real life.

Perhaps you need to get out more.

Go to BBC Ideas and you can read about the power of introverts. It will only qualify you for 3 1/2 minutes though.

Keep trying! Extra points can be earned by crossing the road when you see someone whom you vaguely recognise, and of course avoiding eye contact when travelling by bus or tube.

Given the overall negative score, I think the app is scoring this wrongly. Your necessary social interactions including pleasantries should not be penalised or scored low. Your accumulated hours of complete solitude should be rewarded more highly. Overall, reading the daily posts you are showing tremendous aptitude and commitment to being an introvert, but you DID let yourself down badly on the 17th .Do not be too harsh on yourself.

Staying out of the kitchen at a party is a perfect way of limiting social interaction.

'Introversion' is having an internal locus of stimulus, (extroverts seek it from other people). What you are scoring points for is not speaking. I bet you used some form of social media to broadcast to, if not directly react with, other people on the occasions you say you did not speak to someone. That is, you have been having social interaction - even when you claim not to.

Not actually sure this is serious. And if it is I thought, maybe wrongly, that introverts were actually quite content with social interaction but wanted it in a different way to extroverts. So happy to chat with people the introvert knows, but not with a group of random people.

Ah the benefits of solitude!
Something I am sadly lacking now my OH has retired and kids have returned home to live!

This would be a nice piece of irony at any time, but I'm guessing it might have come today as a result of a news item I saw earlier, about TfL promoting an idea for travellers on public transport to strike up conversations with strangers.
I just did some searching to see if there's a name for it (there is: Chat Day) and it seems this isn't the first time it's been tried.
It's a further guess that today's post is for those with no intention of participating actively... and might even put on a badge to show they don't want to be made passive participants, either.
Please don't interact with me - I have a score to maintain

Both guesses are incorrect guesses.

Celebrating Blue Monday??

Blue Monday is PR bollocks, unworthy of celebration.
Today's post is not inspired by anything specific.

As a committed Introvert, Still Anon's comment today is the one that really worries me

Little beats the tranquility of some planned solitude, other than inconsiderate neighbours banging doors. Those moments when you finally drop all the things and a**eholes who've been threatening your remnant sanity are hard to better.
Then the real world intrudes and 'normality' resumes - roll on the next session. All a matter of balance.

Glad that the web 2.0 naming scheme of ending a word with an r without a preceding vowel is alive and well.

It looks like "Onesquare" has been re-branded. http://diamondgeezer.blogspot.com/2010/10/onesquare.html
