Unfortunately there has also been research that shows money only influences happiness up to a certain point, and then, after that only affects happiness if it is spent on quality shared experiences with friends and loved ones.

Sorry mang, I can make a pretty good case that the research shows you need to have close people in your life for connection and happiness, we're hardwired and coded for it. So hey, I think you're probably a person worth knowing and that there's somebody you'd really get along with, living not far from you. To a degree, interpersonal avoidance is choosing safety now to pay with loneliness later. Take care.
