Hate going out to a social event, always have a great time. So which am I?

THe above describes me perfectly . I never had any issue / anxiety giving presentations or just speaking off a few notes in front of a large gathering or our corporate Board . However following a major presentation when individuals would approach me for one on one conversation I could always feel myself pulling back !
I have to really force myself to seek out social situations . I am more than comfortable --- too comfortable -- being alone . I rarely if ever get bored with my own company because I have so many subjects which I am interested in learning more about .
All of the above considered spending an abundant amount of time alone is really NOT such a great idea . I have now lived here nearly 2 years and sadly have not met many people .
