Hah, or you can be me. I grew up in New York City with the ability to go pretty much anywhere unsupervised and I never did - I spent all my free time either reading books or playing videogames anyway. I had almost zero interest in the real world (I think it's pretty boring even now that I've been an adult for a while) but I still feel like there was something wasteful about not bothering to experience things that so many other kids would have really enjoyed.
The worst part was college. I attended a famous party school but went to zero parties, zero dates, etc. At least I managed to graduate in three years with a double major. (By the time I got to college, I did want more social interaction but I thought that I was incapable of it so I didn't try.)
what a sad life
It actually hasn't been bad overall. Those were my missed opportunities but there were also other opportunities that I didn't miss.
(I do live in New York City again and I do still think it's really boring here. There's nowhere to go and nothing to do that doesn't involve a crowd of strangers which ruins it for me. The main reason I'm here is to be close to my family but even visiting them requires a miserable two-and-a-half-hour round trip on the subway. I got to live in a small town for a while and I liked it a lot better - having a house with a big yard, being able to drive everywhere, and easy access to nature were great.)
