My social interactions are sparse apart from every day routines like shopping. I don't have a constant group of friends that I go out and do stuff with, more like a few disparate groups who hang out a lot together, but invite me out randomly every other month. I used to take every opportunity to go out and try to create as many events as possible, even if I didn't feel like it, because I'd heard of scientific studies talking about people losing their shit when they don't have enough social interaction, but I kind of feel like I'm losing my shit constantly working to bring my social life together only to have it continuously fall through and remain inconsistent.

I've thought a lot of things would hurt me/make me crazy only to find I was just fine without it, in fact better than I've ever been, so now I'm considering not trying to create something that really isn't there and spend more time focusing on myself and my work for a while. I won't brush off every social engagement, but I'll just go to the ones I know I'm going to be a certain level of comfortable at, but this could mean that I don't go out with friends for months at a time. What do you think? Good idea? Bad? Other suggestions?
