Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn’t misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn’t agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They’re not broken. They’re calibrated differently. They don’t avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it’s deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn’t mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That’s not antisocial behavior. That’s emotional intelligence.

Sophie Cunningham responds to criticism over her recent comments to ESPN about wanting to protect women's sports from "biological men." "I said what I said. I think it's kind of common sense. When it comes just to protecting young girls in sport and women in sport, I feel very strongly about that. That's why you have Title IX. That's why you have some of the greats in women's sports. If Title IX women's sports weren't protected, then you wouldn't hear about any type of women in sport. I have never once said that I hated the trans community." In her interview with ESPN, Cunningham had said: "I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."
