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.
