Most of my time is spent doing things at home, which is my preference. But I also go to a couple of senior fitness/yoga classes a couple of times a week and to the Y as well. I am in a doll-making group that gets together twice a month to share what we've made, and there are a couple of other random things I do that put me in contact with other people.
But all of these situations are short lived and involve as much interaction as I decide to make. eg: when I go to the exercise classes it's usually just a little chit chat before and after the classes and at the Y I really don't talk to anyone at all. The doll group people I have known for many years now, so there are some actual friendships there.
One of my favorite outside the home things to do is to go to the dog park, which I do a couple times a week. I have a couple of acquaintances there that might involve a few minutes of small talk, other than one dog walker that has become an actual friend. He's just under 40 and is also an introvert, so I mainly interact with his dogs and we commiserate about Trump and the state of the country etc. I actually look forward to doing that.
I am 69 and married to someone that I would describe as an anti-social extrovert if there can be such a thing, lol. He is happy to stay at home most of the time, and is fine with my quirks and introvert personality. He gets most of his socializing on face book with his friends from high school, military, online games etc. Being isolated more than this would not bother me at all. I spend the majority of my time in my 'studio' room either online or working on some kind of art project.
