Yes, it is an amazing experience. The downside has been that many very social people find it insulting and offensive. It hurts a little when they retaliate to what they feel is abandonment & it is very difficult as not responding is seen as "extra" not caring - but responding would create a dramatic situation which is also annoying. It is annoying because I feel no ill will towards them.
The layer of ebbing hurt is the fact there are many very different types of people that feel disappointed in my lack of social interaction... but get equally feel offended when I suddenly feel like being social in a way they didn't approve of.
Cactus friends are much easier but are prickly at times.
