I think actually trying to connect with other people despite the difficulties I have in doing so is actually in line with my contrary temperament, because I've come to feel that society is set up to pit people against each other in order to isolate us and prevent any real solidarity. So I try to counteract some of my unfriendly tendencies and mistrust of others so as not to fall into this societal trap. I don't think I need to completely squash these traits, but I do think they need to be mitigated from their tendency to be unreasonably high. This is hard but I have not only my desire to be a better person on my side for this, but my spite as well.
