i suppose its a matter of forcing myself through the everyday things that are associated with the instinct, like making conversation with acquaintances and networking and calling family members to say hi. or maybe it would involve a shift in perspective to try to fully understand and appreciate the SO worldview. i dunno. but i'm curious about this, too.
