- I can relate to this in a major way. I could very easily become
- a social hermit if it were not for the fact that I have a very
- understanding husband who draggs me away from the computer, and
- outside into the sunlight occassionally! :)
-
- While I still think that it does me good to socialize occassionally
- (and I used to be such a social animal! :), I am a lot more
- paricular now with how I spend my time. Simply because there is
- never enough of it.
-
- So, know, it's not just you. But hey, hang in there. It's worth it.
