Hey man a social life IS VERY important. i was working 80+hrs a week... ONE day off.. and i just slept! so i quit...
not i can get up early, go to work, come home eat, relax, post..and go out and have some fun in the evening...feels good to be able to do this again!
try to work something out...loosing connections with friends isnt kool... u end up talking to a small small handful... and loose touching base with the rest.. plus.. getting to sit down at the dinner table with family or a sibling is nice.... ONCE in a while IMO

I am pretty severely anti-social, especially if I get in a large group setting. I just really don't like people all that well and much prefer to be alone. I think my record is four days without speaking to another person. I do pretty well with a couple of people at a time for short periods of time.
I know how it goes with people not fitting into your schedule, but as long as you get to the gym then it's all good.

Grandmaster- I love my job which is a important thing for me,it is my social life,but its only for a few days a week. I guess im just going to have to find more things to occupy my downtime which is everyday for the time im not at the gym or the 12 hours im sleeping everyday.
Scots-ya I def hit the gym everyday,it keeps me from totally losing it by letting me see different people then my family who I hardly speak to

Pretty simple really, just set aside some time where you won't be interupted. Take in some water and some food so you don't have to come out for a while. Remove all outside influence (radio, tv, computer, phone, books, etc.) that can take away your focus. Then sit in the room preferably in the dark or near dark so you can't directly focus on anything. Then just sit, after a while when you can't keep your mind distracted anymore your whole life kind of dumps in on you. Now as a warning you will either deal with your shit or go insane.
When you mind isn't distracted by your environment it calls up the things you try to think about the least. These are usually the most important things but you repress them to avoid daily disruption.

I love isolation. I hate other people most of the time. They seem to just get in the way. If I was completely alone I could get a lot of shit done, life would be great!

I love crazy. That seems to be the most intersesting place to live, there is always something cool going on. I've found that if you can control crazy the consequences are not that bad. Oh and the reward, its great!

When your crazy you might not give a shit about what's going on outside your mind. You might not care about where you are. You might not even care about anything, but then again you might! That's the best part, you just don't know. This life otherwise is just to predictable.

Nothing wrong with isolation. I understand why Scots can handle it because of his work.
Being on a rig is a different experience, especially for rock cocks that live alone. Scots may not like people for the most part because of his job, I have learned the same thing.
I have been through the same thing quite a few times. It changes you, but for me it was for the better. Still going from a rig to a small town is no difference in isolation.

Give of yourself to something higher.
