Your comment is appreciated, and I love the vocabulary of vivagenic and vivalytic. It’s absolutely true that I’m less social in my free time than I used to be, and I could see that as a concern among the people who love me, (and I would take that more seriously - I was talking more about societal views) but I have a much more social work life than I used to, so it’s not as appealing to socialize in my free time now, plus I’m married now and living in a tiny apartment, so much of my home time is still not alone (I’ve used varieties of “social” way too much in this comment, but I can’t think of a better way to put it).

I’m going to think about your comment though, I think especially the new vocab will help me more clearly conceptualize the benefits and drawbacks of coping mechanisms.
