I think it just depends on a lot of things... for me, not one bit.
I had a few very close friends in high school, and we grew apart fairly quickly... as an adult, I'm not crammed into a room with 20 other people, or in a building with tons of them... it's not a setting where I'm even "bound to meet somebody eventually". That part sucks.
But... the social pressure is less as far as what people expect of you, providing decent people are around you to begin with, lol, who will listen and try to understand things. I mean, I still run into meanies here and there, but it's not nearly as common.
There are still lots of misunderstandings, though, and that could go both ways... I could be happy that I'm going home and just won't have to see that person again (most likely), or can take on a negative attitude at times, because it seems that it happens far too often.
But... I also have a lot of moments when I just want to be around people... there just isn't anyone to be around.
Responsibilities keep things rough, though, regardless... they just keep getting to be more and more, and that is really hard to deal with, as I have a really hard time actually carrying things out (plan-wise).
