> Are there people who just do not need any of those things?

Yes. That would have described me very well at one point in my life. Coincidentally, it was at the time I was running my first (unsuccessful) business.




Did you at least still participated in social media and such, or it was literally just work?

If it was just work, do you now think it was a good idea to ignore everything in life except work?

I.e., you thought you didn’t need those things and you actually didn’t need those things, vs. you needed them but you thought you didn’t and it caught up with you eventually.


Social media didn't exist yet.

I was just fine.


You did not answer the question, but OK.
