Grab the Joy and Fun!

If there is ever any way to be kind to yourself, or to increase your fun in life, I say go for it-- as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else! Life is tough enough,and we should give ourselves little gifts and breaks whenever possible. We should make our lives as easy and convenient as feasible. For loving the self is also genuine Love, real God. Keep cultivating detachment, and that will help you get along better with the challenges of interactions with others. Using acognitive therapy (pervasive meditation) to reach the state of Teflonmind can be an enormous help! As far as being with other people in a social setting, I find that silent smiling goes a long way, and keeps interactions simple and uncomplicated.
