It's an issue when you're so into something that it consumes everything. Maybe also to escape other less favorable sides of your life (I mean mine here, but it seems social life was a burden for you too). The issue is that when this thing starts to crack too, then there's nothing else. Very heavy on your soul. That's why I read the 'do what you love' with a grain of salt now. And sometimes the idea of being lost in a context ([re]learning social life) that I disliked before feels almost like a massage of surprise which, even if it was one side that I might disliked before, feels a lot more worthy than being stuck in your narrowing world.
