Social deprivation pros and cons

After I lost my job, I lost all my close social connections that were mostly consist of my colleagues.
I was thinking a lot about freedom and how people are dependent on each other.
I decided to break all my connections and mostly did it.
I can say that I feel good to have more time for all things I like In this life, but most of the time I build my work and personal business. It gives me a big amount of energy and I feel it more and more often.
Have you ever had the same? What are the pros and cons for you?
