That's good.. and the average may be over-all positive but most people
do have some bad situations and take more notice of those. I'm not saying
they truly regret the choice forever after a bad situation, they just
briefly feel it more than the day to day good things. Of course you can
have some life changing Good days too, like getting married or having a
child too, but the euphoria has a life span as well..

GA>Not sure what "dropping out of normal society" means..., but OK.

I gave up living in the city and working 'normal' type jobs almost
40 years ago and moved into a small cabin in the woods on the shores
of Georgian Bay where I'm alone 90% of the time.
I go shopping for things I need usually just one day every 2 weeks.
I normally don't even start my car during that 2 week period.

I have seasonal neighbours in summer but, other than the odd quick
hello and how are you doing if I pass them walking or biking out
for mail, I usually have very little contact with them.
