I lived an isolated childhood and once and adult I liked being home alone on the farm. I don't need too much input to be happy on the farm. I could never leave if money came to me, but alas it doesn't and so I have to ramp it up and go to work with there sort of people (the general public) who suck the stuffing right out of you.
You need to care and validate without inhaling (my thought for not taking their stuff emotional and pyscial on board at your cost) to much of their crapola. Then problem solve if they need it.
While I am slightly better at setting a limit and doing it db style I'm not there yet and I suspect its long life journey to learn it.
