Your prefered type of social interaction.

Definitely one on one. at home or out in nature or something.

Been thinking about trying out some camping, like with a tent, to me that sounds like the ideal social 1 on 1, tent, fire out in nature.

internet, and i guess with people i know very very well, like my sister and my dad.

Number one is spending time with a partner, once I find her. Then spending time with fellow hobbyists in things I am interested in, such as astronomy or the cat fancy. Then spending time with family, though we're spread out all over the southern half of the UK, so it doesn't happen very often.

I have almost zero interest in spending time with total strangers unless I have something in common with them (whether it is interests or personality type, in which case it can sometimes up to a point be enjoyable talking about each other's interests).

I absolutely detest smalltalk; life is too full of important things to talk about. For me, smalltalk is a means to an end; e.g., not offending people you care about but have nothing in common with, or not offending people you are forced to spend time with. In particular, at the beginning of a romantic relationship where the people involved like each other but are not yet sure how compatible they are with each other or how much to trust each other, so they begin with "safe" subjects for discussion.

Note that my reply focuses on who and what; the means is immaterial; though some means are more useful for some interactions than others, I will happily use face-to-face speaking, phone, internet chat, social media (both posts and PMs) and forums like this one; whatever best serves the task at hand.

My preferred type of social interaction... intimacy with a woman. like kissing and hugging an intercourse and laughter.
A close second... I miss the friends I had in middle school/high school. They all just started avoiding me. I haven't really had many friends or been able to be myself with people so much since then. I'm 24 now

My preferred social interaction is one of three things: 1-on-1 with another person, a 1-on-2 with two other people or in a limited group with no more than 6 other people at maximum. Easier to keep track of people and not feel overwhelmed.

Very rarely have I done well in much larger groups.

Offline with friends, coworkers, classmates, or clients. Anyone who pays attention and is interested in what's being said, pretty much. I'm not picky and like talking to most people I meet day-to-day.

The Internet doesn't provide much... no one is really that interested or talks to me for long. It's the place I go in-between having something to do or someone to talk to.

I should add that ANY online interaction via Facebook groups or Twitter are fine too. In fact I'd say most of the friends I've made in the last 2 years have been due to my being in a Facebook group.
