I bet knitting/crocheting and similar activities definitely have a meditative quality that way. I should find some hobby that uses my hands more. I like that you mention the camera--I've also noticed that when I focus on trying to take interesting photos, I tend to feel much more relaxed in any given situation. That, too, is probably related to being centered on the present moment, though I hadn't thought about it before.
Social connection is very important, even to us introverts! I think the problem with social media is that it takes up our time without quite providing all the true benefits of social connection. We humans are still working out this internet thing, as it applies to our psychology. :)
