I always seem to have positive interactions but my friends say they never do... :D

The best advice, surely, is to choose your parents carefully? ;)

Choosing the right place to live can have a significant bearing too.

Life is not a longevity competition. Healthy is my aim; quality rather than just quantity.

I don't really care to much for interactions, positive or not and I see it has the lowest impact. So I'll carry on as a loner, introvert, misanthrope.

There must be many like you. You could improve your interactions by starting a club.

I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
Even the Groucho Club.

I would certainly agree that it is the "life in your years" rather than the "years in your life" that is the important thing.

All of the lifestyle choices listed are probably beneficial to a longer healthier life too.

I'd recommend a book by Dr Peter Attia on this subject.
