There are 6 *billion* people in the world.  I know at least half a dozen 
of them who are like you.  I've got a brother who's in his 60s who lived 
in his small apartment in Chicago for 30+ years.  He drove exactly 10 
miles a day (5 to the school he worked at, 5 back) and that was it for 
that 30 years.

His issue (and he acknowledges it) is that he has to be in control.  As a 
school teacher, he was in total control of his classroom.  On the road 
there are other drivers and he has no control over what they do.  So he 
avoided driving.

You go out and go to dances and you do other things.  My brother avoids 
the world as much as humanly possible.  By comparison, you're literally a 
social butterfly.

So yeah, I know people who are actually *worse* than you.

Jim
