The Wobbles and Canine relationships vs Human relationships in Life as I know it...

Dobby and Diva, collectively known as "The Wobbles", are my two beautiful little Yorkshire Terriers. Dobby is a 6 year old boy and is by far the weirdest dog I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Diva, who I am very protective of as she is my sweet little girl, recently turned 2 and she is the sweetest little thing, although she can be very anxious, quiet and reserved sometimes. Something she must have picked up from her dad I guess.
Diva and I :
Dobby (Yes, that is a tattoo of him that you see on my calve.) :
These two precious creatures have helped me so much in my life. They have always been there for me, even when I wasn't the most pleasant person to be around. Whenever I take them for walks, I feel a lot less anxious and self-aware than I usually do. However, it frustrates the hell out of me when people bend down and stick their fingers in the dogs' faces. Why do people do that? I know they're adorable, but seriously, I find it so rude.
I have both of their sweet little faces tattooed on my body (never mind the 3rd one, I'll explain that one some other time perhaps) :
Is it wrong for me to prefer the company of my dogs to the company of other human beings? Most of my "friends" all just want to go out and drink and party and hook up with girls and that is something that I have decided to stay away from a long time ago. My physical, mental and emotional health is far too sensitive and precious as it is something I have worked hard for and I'm not going to risk it for something as shallow as getting slizzered out of my mind. Yes, it might sound sad that I am alone most nights with them, but I prefer that (or try to convince myself that when I get lonely). I have always just wanted to find a group of people who are more like me, who want to have intelligent conversations, experience a true human connection, watch exciting documentaries instead of the latest blockbuster hit, listen to the same music instead of Biebs and Miley, are interested in history and art and who just want a bit more than getting drunk.
I just want a group of people I can connect with and I don't know where to find them. I'm hoping that not working 10/12/14/16/18/20 hours a day anymore will allow me to discover some way of meeting and finding these people and I am hoping that my new workplace could be such a source. I'm trying to stay positive and I'm sure I will find at least 1 or 2 of these people out there. The only question is when?
