Yeah that definitely didn't come out even close to how you say it in the second post. The first post "sounded" like 100% pure unfiltered snark and condescension against a pretty significant demographic of the community, who moved here BECAUSE it was a beautiful facade where they could mingle with people they barely knew.

The second one sounds less like a vicious attack, and more like a reasonable consideration of your perception of facts.

I'd suggest too, that some of us are (more or less) homebodies already, and have little trouble keeping ourselves entertained. There's definitely a segment of the population that thrives on group activity though. Hopefully they'll learn to adjust, and learn to sincerely enjoy the quiet activities of home life.
