I am this way as well. I can try to be around other people but often it is not a good mix. I am in my own world even though I am trying not to be there and everyone can tell I am a bit off during this time. In the long term I have lost many friends, jobs and future friends from this. Most times I assume my happiness must come from inside me. I work hard like a farmer cultivating those things that keep my brain busy and my heart open. This has seemed to be the best way forward for me.
