> people need people
While this lifestyle is not for me, i tend to concur on the statement. I personally pick my houses as distant from people as possible. People don’t need people. Sure it gets lonely sometimes but let me ask you if you enjoying the company you have all the time.
People don’t need people. It’s rather personality related
- coldtea 3y agoThey kind of do according to medical/mental health statistics though, even accounting for the personality type.
- pimlottc 3y agoI think you meant “I tend to differ”, “concur” means you agree.
- jesterson 3y agoYou are right - thank you fir correcting me
- dorkwood 3y agoI'm going to assume when you say "people don't need people" that you're talking about social contact. My question is: why do you post on HN for others to read? Why not just write your thoughts in a journal and keep it to yourself?
- wolverine876 3y agoYMMV, but all humans are social creatures, going back to our primate ancestors. Isolation harms health, mentally, emotionally, and physically; at its extreme, such as solitary confinement, it's considered torture. Note that almost all humans socialize and live among other humans (compared to animals like bears which live alone).
- dukeyukey 3y ago> People don’t need people. It’s rather personality related You are on a social networking site right now. People always need people, even if they don't think they do.
- krapp 3y agoTo be fair, this "social networking site" is specifically designed to be hostile towards most forms of social networking, and it's full of misanthropes who probably have the Unabomber manifesto right next to the Dragon Book on their bookshelf.
