I can really relate to this post. One of my best experiences was after I graduated from high school in southern California, I drove to Bella Coola area in British Columbia with a buddy of mine to live off the land. The first night camping was under a lighting struck tree with an active Bald Eagle nest in it. Yeah, there is no doubt that social skills is of utmost importance in terms of not only survival, but also innovation and steering the course of society. Many people have no idea how much power they have to change things simply by way of prioritizing group cohesion. There is much to be said for alone time as well, and even so... the yin to the yang, friend.
