If I have to do more than three social things a week, I refuse to answer the phone for another week! (And that's only slightly hyperbolized!)

This is not usual behavior for me. I have lived in situations where I have seen people on a daily basis (hello, college and most of graduate school), but I have also always periodically dropped out of sight in order not to overload. I think the amazingly pleasant circumstances of the last couple of months camouflaged the fact that I should really have started disentangling myself from social commitments about two days ago, but I don't think any permanent harm has been done.

I hate phones, though.
