It's not life threatening, but it can really dampen your spirits if you were wanting to be invited. I know I'm happier with internet and cell phone... I can be "in the know" and be a part of various gatherings, happenings, events, and just the normal chit-chat. Being a part of those things helps to bring different ideas and perspectives into my life so I feel more rounded and grounded. I'm happier communicating and social networks make it easier for me.
