As food for thought: relationships are often greater than the sum of their parts.

My tribe/community/circle enriches my life well beyond the experiences I could have by myself.

But there in lies the condition. You need to have a tribe/community/circle to take you in. There's going to be people for whom no community will accept them.

You forget people who neither need nor desire a community.

Mountain hermits exist, even if they don't live on mountains.

You can create your own community. Rarely will anyone else do it for you.
