Sock makes a good point.

Parsifal: You may also want to correspond with Theodore John Kaczynski [kaˈtʂɨɲskʲi] (born May 22, 1942), also known as the Unabomber, an American mathematician and social critic. In 1971, he moved to a remote cabin in Lincoln, Montana where he stayed as a hermit until 1995 when the Fed Government upgraded his living conditions by giving him a new home with electricity and running water.

Here are some other tips:
1)Work on a computer from your home.
2)Talk to and interact only with your doctor, dentist, etc. who are paid to keep you well.
3) Have some pets like pit bulls to keep folks away from you.
4) If you need sex, hire a call girl and ask her not to talk to you.
5) Read good literature/philosophy/religion for brain stimulation....
6) Use the following as your mantra: SILENCE, EXILE, CUNNING...

Now stop pestering me, I need my privacy..,.

Easy. Just keep reminding yourself what dicks other people are, and how much bullshit you go through just dealing with people on a daily basis. People are insane, psychopathic monkeys. Some just hide it better.

I connect on a deep and meaningful level with myself. In the end my deepest level of satisfaction, my most authentic feelings of love, my truest value of self come from my wellspring of wholeness anyway. I have been establishing health in a more lasting way and attracting more lasting and meaningful relationships since I have come to understand and practice this for myself. Who knew I would turn out to be my oldest and most cherished friend?!

I don't know, maybe try connecting with one of those other kind of monkeys... you know the regular non-psychopathic kind that throw their feces at eachother...

Very poorly. As much as I want to claim to be misanthropic, I like to be around other people. My introverted nature makes new social situations a challenge, but I have a few close friends that I like to spend my time with. Left to my own devices, that is to say, alone w/ my thoughts, its bad news for me.

Eat, drink, sleep, and breathe.

Now, I'm going to be speaking on a subject I'm still struggling myself. Sometimes it feels an act of getting up is a struggle for survival. I know, I sound like such a selfish, spoiled person, though there are those days. When you say personally survive, I'm thinking you mean emotionally. Emotions, although some see it as an on and off switch, are not like this at all. It takes its tolls. And the payment comes in different forms. From something as little as an exchange of a smile to a stressful health risk and then a heart attack. It really builds up brick by brick in a person. O.K., to your question... Well, there's a saying I read to the effect that survival has the basics of food, water and shelter though the WANTING to survive is so much more. Just reading that article was a way of me connecting. Something read by me, written by someone else that impacted both of our emotions. A brick given to each of us to build our life experiences on. Sometimes people watch too much t.v. and feel connecting has something to do with is a visual person to person contact. This website is a great example of connecting without seeing someone. Your question has given me another brick to build with. My emotions in typing these words connects something in myself. Hopefully it connects something in you. Really in a way you have to connect truthfully with yourself to notice the things that surround you, that you are already connected to. Sometimes people have that hard time to except themselves, the fear of opening up, and the patience to work on either one. Just keep in mind you are connected you just have to build up to expressing it more to the fullest capacity of a human. Human nature is real and sucks at the same time. Like I said I'm struggling myself. The patience thing is killing me. Connect with something simple like a magazine, a show, some kind of subject. You'll connect to more of your emotions and once you recognize than you will connect to someone else's emotions. There is such a wide variety of emotions. EXPLORE! I know it's hard. Just keep in mind "You are always connected. As humans we have that ability no matter what we do. Just eventually go out there and pick the best materials to built yourself on. A good book, etc., etc. Realize that someone has written the book you read. I know it sounds ridiculous, though once you do realize all of what people have done and created, you'll really know a connection "person to person" must be out there for you. To personally survive, personally explore inside and out.

I cannot imagine not going totally insane without human contact. My thought on this question is----without connecting with at least one person one would definitely be a miserable, self-centered and very lonely and depressed person. Merely existing would be the only option!!

Sometimes we need loneliness and apartness. To be a true human we need to rejuvenate ourselves with that loneliness, then come back into the company of others realizing as sock said above, some people are real dicks (hell, a lot of them are.) I have been lonelier in a crowd of people than I was when I was physically alone.
Why do I go off by myself so much? Because every once in a while I need good company.

Sometimes the only way to survive is not connecting with the other person.

I dont think I can though Ive thought about it alot cos I dont like people much cos of they way people are these days. They are so mean and so greedy. I still want so much to have someone to talk to, someone to hold my hands, someone to hug me...its not easy in the end I think.

I don't. At some stage I need that connection.

Samm, from my personal experience most people don't "go insane". Most of the people I have ever met and there have been more than I can recall by name are already sufficiently insane from their respective upbringing as any sociopath who would prevent people from connecting could demonstrate. Connections are just like everything else in life dated and substantive. They can be seasonal returning like the seasons or they can be cyclical or sporadic. Oil and water can not be joined to each other.
