Why do people think socializing is so important?

i think because we as humans are naturally social people, it has been proven that most people feel better and are better off when socializing with people. i agree, not everyone is a people person and just because your one of those people doesnt mean there is something wrong... but in general, people overall will have to socialize and talk to people throughout their life, especially once in the career or work field.. unless you work by yourself or something... how old are you by the way?
