I'd go as far to say I like the communal aspect of going out (in moderation), but only with people I already know. I don't even try to make more friends, I don't have that many but it's enough and I trust them. I'd almost argue a movie is the opposite of a social event though, you are just sitting with people watching quietly. Yeah, I went to a lot of movies as a teenager with others, but now 20 years later I'd much rather watch a movie by myself and spend that friend time doing something else, even if it was as simple as just sitting around having a drink in the backyard.
