are these people just busy bodies that think they know everyone else's best interests? You stick to your guns and enjoy doing your own thing!! I don't blame you at all...many times I have said that I would love to be a "hermit" and never leave home if I didn't have to. I would be more than content not having to deal with some people in person. I can, however talk with people...I just choose not to most of the time. Of course, then they think that I'm a snob or something...Just quiet and sort of shy. :D
Life is too short to try to please other people...Please yourself first. :D JMHO
