Without the necessary contact with people - friends, family, colleagues - you start to feel ghost-like. The longer this goes on the more and more ghost-like you feel. You feel like you are going through the motions of life without actually being alive.

You need contact with people, this is just the way you are. When you don't you start listening more and more to the ego - you begin to feel paper thin and transparent. You do not feel noticed at all, as if no one sees you. It is illusion of the ego but you choose to listen to this illusion when you don't have your necessary contact with people you can chat with, that you can share life with.
