I absolutely am like you in having trouble connecting to people in real life. I am the "go to" person for those around me, and I don't think any weakness on my part is well-tolerated. That's why I go for the "inward" things.
I also totally understand your love of your puppies! I am a huge animal lover and love dogs most of all even though I only have cats right now. (Since I work a lot, I would hate to leave a dog at home alone.) During a very hard time in my youth, my loyal german shepherd would stand guard until I fell asleep. Then, he would curl up with me when I went to sleep and put his muzzle right over my heart. Intellectually, I know it was because he liked the rhythym of a beating heart, but I always liked to think he knew where I needed protecting the most. I'm tearing up just thinking about him. You keep loving those puppies -- there's nothing better.
