Enthusiastic Recluses

We aren't engaging in person anymore. Many don't even want to. Waymos are everywhere in Austin. When I ask people who use them why they do so, the first thing they say, almost every single time, is, "It's great! I don't have to talk to anyone!" They're so happy about it. Am I out of touch for finding that depressing?
