[quote=Anonymous]I don't want to be part of a village besides friendly hellos and other superficial interactions, which I enjoy. But I'd like to keep most people at arns' length. I think the idea is overidealized and so are family ties. Some work, some don't. I have plenty of friends and family members but I don't want a lot of attention or constant companionship. I don't idealize an Amish barn building or quilting bee, but lots of people do. People should stop idealizing these things and shouldn't feel wanting if they don't have them. We're not all meant for close community. [/quote]
