Never isolate yourself, even when you're working.
Use forums to feel a sense of connection to other like-minded people.
I don't know of a single person who is happy and isolated. We all need social connections.
I used to think forums were a waste of time when I first joined because I spent hours everyday browsing BHW, so I completely separated myself from BHW to get work done. However, working completely alone depresses you. Now, I realize that when I spend time on BHW and observe others going through a journey similar to mine, it makes my work more fulfilling knowing that I can communicate with like-minded people.
Of course, moderate your usage of forums. I try not to spend more than 30 minutes per day on BHW.
