See, I hate getting at all close to strangers in those situations - I never know what their expectations are because I don't know them well enough to read what they're not saying, and it makes me feel very off-kilter.
And I need quiet to recharge as well - but first I need to have the social interaction to have something to make me need the recharge! Also, my really preferred mode of quite is what I call "cat socializing": you're in the room with another person or two, and you're all doing your own thing, like reading. But it's better than being completely by yourself, because you have company.
