Why is it so? Because the majority of social activities seem catered towards people who don’t like to learn (or don’t like to feel like they have to learn).
What are you expecting to learn at a social event?
Socialising consists of learning about other people, and their interests, and gaining an impression of their intellect, which later allows you to gauge the accuracy of factual statements they attempt to impart upon you. You must also, at the same time, cause them to find you interesting, and give them a good impression of your relevant intellectual capabilities, in order that they will actually respond to your requests in future.
Once you have become acquainted with people, then you can gain information through them; as well as, on occasion, gaining aid in various non-information based tasks (ie. moving house). In exchange, you will be expected to help them on occasion, and will perform and recieve verbal grooming/acknowledgement.
So you see, while socialising may look repetitive, it’s actually a very complicated task which the neurotypical human brain is specialised toward solving.
