[QUOTE=Conductor71;.... Isolating ourselves is one of the worst things we can do.

I always thought so, but now I am not so sure. Certain types of stress murder me; in particular I am averse to being surrounded by delirious mobs with flaming torches chanting, "Keep the mutants out!"
I find tranquility in solitude these days. I don't have to explain to anybody or ask permission to someone else for a few days
I would say if you want to be part of something, make sure that the something wants you to be part of it,, 100%, and not just have you there as a mascot for the fund raiser. ; either i am in or i am out.
if i am in don't shove me aside
