Temporary withdrawl to self-cultivate is a good thing. People who "shut themselves out" become stagnant and sometimes implode from the weight of their inaction, or explode when confronted by outside influences they cannot comprehend. I prefer to roam and engage in life fully. My goal is to have no attachments. This is a difficult path to tread and requires more discipline than I currently have.

I agree people also need their space.

Aren't these two sentences mutually exclusive? How does one engage in life fully while having no attachments?

I don't think they are mutually exclusive. Essentially it depends on your veiw of enjoying Life. I can enjoy things without them dominating my life. I can choose to travel somewhere,meet different people, and I don't become dependent on them. I learn and teach as I go. My goal is to become independent. I think in the end there is one Universal goal, a gracious death with no regrets.

When people feel lonely it is because they feel no contact with anyone else. People need to feel valued and a part of something. When this doesn't happen they feel isolated. If you are self-sufficient you will not depend on loved ones or friends, and you will not feel isolated. Loneliness should remind one of their own egoistic identity. Being self-sufficient does not preclude community with others, but it does prevent the shortcomings when society is one's only source of union.

This would explain the unabomber.
