Yes you are correct. My neighbors at the time thought we were greenhorn idiots. The man helped out if he thought we needed help. Sometime we did, until we could afford to buy all of the equipment one needs to maintain a large place. But they told stories about how stupid I was to everyone in the area. Around here there is no community to ostracize unless I joined some local organization. Then there is plenty ostracizing to go around. We keep to ourselves. It can be lonely but it's better than having unfriendlies about.
