The best solution is one that I have practiced most of my life.
Avoid people like the plague. There are times when I ignore even the wife and kids.
At best the majority of humans are a disappointment and at worst one ends up hating them.
Positive social interactions are for wimps. If you must indulge in such practices, get a dog (or a sheep if in Wales)!
The simpler solutions in life are always the best!
