How do you guys solve the problem of solitude?

There is a thing in Atlanta called co-working or joint working. It's basically sharing office space with other start-ups, freelancers, or home bizers. By having those people around you it saves money for office space and it gives you that camaraderie.

I, too, am grateful for the solitude. I can go out whenever I want - but, mostly, I don't. There is plenty to do here, too, but I usually save it for when I have family here - we have a lot of great live shows, plays, live music, great shopping, nature, etc.

But, mostly I only leave the house a couple of times a month to grocery shop and pick up the mail.

Whenever I do interact with people, I'm often disappointed or else just kind of freaked out. There are a lot of nice people where I live, but they all look like they under some hypnotic spell. I find that I don't have a lot to say to most of them because they live in a television programmed world. Their eyes are glazed over from watching the nightly "news" and American Idol.

My life is on the 'net and in books, plus, I have had some - I guess - unusual real life experience. A lot of people think that if it didn't happen on television, it didn't happen, even if it happened to you and you have the scars to prove it. That latter is the main reason I don't like to go out. Too many crazies everywhere.
