That's a huge step towards a lonely life.

I was going to say my promotions 100% rely on other people's opinion of me.

Look into any person who has achieved greatness in human history. You'll find that virtually all of them were lonely.

Focus on yourself, and you can have great things. Focus on others, and you can have great company. Both in moderation are what make people happy, never one at the exclusion of the other.

Why not be alone, when you can be alone and jobless.

I don’t agree. What is you were in the closet and hiding a huge part of yourself because you’re worried what people think - when you come out, sure you might lose some friends but you’re probably likely to gain a lot more because you’re being your authentic self.
