I have never played with anyone, except for my guitar teacher. I understand that playing with people can teach you a lot, but thats not the point of the thread. He is talking about losing interest in guitar. Someone mentioned that you need to play with others to keep your interest, and I simply said that wasn't true (myself being a perfect example).

I WANT to play with others, but I can't because I don't know a single person who plays any type of instrument at all. I play guitar because I love it, not to show other people my skills. I am perfectly happy playing by myself and trying to get better and better. Sure, playing with others would be cool, but I thats not an option for me right now, and my interest is growing more and more every day.
