If you need it to heal, that is good. If you need it to feel whole, that is fine, too. If other humans are not giving, stay away from them.

If the time comes that you need to emerge more in the world, God, the universe, whatever power you believe in, will let you know.

I see what you are doing as right and acceptable. I do it myself, as needed.
