I still think most people just don't know what they're doing, and are in some degree of denial about wanting more interaction with other people. Other people's irrationality is annoying. To make an analogy, you may be on solid ground with your estimated valuation of a stock, but if the rest of the market is being irrational, you will get punished for it. People need the structure that existed in school and in communities before the modern, urban age. But that structure isn't going to come back any time soon. So people need to learn how to adapt. They need to be better about acknowledging their needs. And they need to follow through in developing the appropriate social graces. I think the easiest way to do that is with a platonic Facilidate, as I mentioned before. The new me won't need such things, of course :-).
