I feel like I'm on the verge of being socially overloaded. I often look to other people to help me with my own personal questions, which is not a bad thing, but the break in my own journey toward self discovery becomes obstructed by the distraction of other people. In many ways it has become an addiction. I say this not only because of the association with other addictions such as alcohol and the sociable cigarette, but the activity itself has taken the form of an addiction. When I don't want to pay attention to my own course in achieving the goals I have set for myself, I seek the satisfaction of being entertained by conversation with other people. It's to natural of a behavior and is congruent with me being a human to relate it as a vice, but it has become an aberration.

I could never defend the argument of a hermit. Shutting myself off from people is just not feasible. I would never want to deprive myself of the joys found in human interaction.

Where will my happy medium be found?
