I have very low social needs but eventually I do need someone to talk to who isn't my family. My low social needs can keep me from staying in touch with people without me even realizing, making it harder to find friends to hang out with when I want to. To prevent this I often have to force myself to accept invitations to go out with friends even if I don't think I want to go out at the moment. It makes it more likely that they'd think of me in the future when I do want social activities and it makes it less awkward for me to reach out to them when I need to.
This idea of low social needs is an interesting idea I can relate to. But in my case I think I've let relationships atrophy to the point that I only have a couple friends who I could just go hang with. It's not a great place to be.
