we DON'T need to be around people or eat at restaurants or go to movies...we'd be perfectly happy isolated away from our lovely lovely society....
The more I see of society, the better I like staying home with husband and the dog. I do as little socializing as possible. Hate to turn into a hermit, but it has a positive side, also. Even going to church has a downside these days. The bulletin is always asking for prayers for someone who did missionary service in some South American country, as is now stricken with a life threatening or debilitating disease (and these people return to USA and church services in the middle of their treatment!).
You need to be around people to develop immunity, though. There’s a story (true, I’m pretty sure) about a reclusive nun who stayed solitary for many years, and as soon as she came of seclusion, she died. As usual, can’t remember the details, name, etc.
