Look at these assumptions that you just inserted:

1. No “common interest, project ...”

2. You just want to be a “"good" socialite”

3. “Forced”: A lot of social interactions are “forced” in the sense that the conversation does not flow completely effortlessly so this applies generally

As to (1): one can have common interests etc. even though one does not see each other regularly. As to (2): this is just a contentless insult towards people who like to socialize, similar to the “loner” insult which is aimed towards people who prefer to be more solitary, so this can be disregarded.

Really dumbfounding to see so many people in this thread who think it’s unnatural to keep in touch with people by way of things like the telephone.
