It's nothing like that. I was raised to be insular, and do not let others' opinions and other mental predications (this also includes news media, marketing, and other forms of mob-mentality conditioning) dictate my course of life. For myself, the opinions of me and mine are all that matter, and I learned from a very young age to live my life for me and mine, yet be a good person to others around me as long as I have a reason to be. Now, I am human, so I do not deny my social instinct. I just choose not to become involved in anything deeper than a superficial level with the other humans I share my existence with. Simple and effective... for me.
