In the past year I had only one, yes just one friend appreciate my system. He is a very wealthy individual, earns 100x more than me. My other friends just shrug their shoulders and tell me to get a life.
I guess I know who I will be hanging out with more...
Any of you also get this sense of isolation because you are passionate about music and its reproduction?
Most of the time I am alone traveling within when I listen, rarely can I get another to join me...
