But seriously, that's not the only possible dramatically unhealthy result from that attitude.
Yeah, you could horribly emotionally and physically isolate yourself, increasingly estranging you from all of your friends and what passes for your family, with basically no healthy emotional outlets for a period of years until everything goes horribly wrong, at which it's too late to reconcile with most of them properly because they're dead/arrested and you can't properly take care of who's left because you are
fucked the hell up.
Oh, wait.

Cyborg Khutulun Manghud Dossier Update
In-depth analysis of the enemy's tactical net has revealed that Cyborg's name, or at least the name she is under contract with, is Khutulun Manghud. A basic search of the accessible Pratihara Databanks reveals that Khutulun Manghud is a non-exalted former member of the Manghud Dynasty in the Ogedei Expanse, a collection of worlds on the far end of the Ya Uncontrolled Area. She never exalted, despite excellent breeding, and when she realized this decided to go for a more technological approach to achieving transhumanity.
She left her family and became a mercenary due to a political schism a decade ago. At the time her known augmentations included an extensive essence shielding package, protecting her from many offensive charms, and mental augmentation that at least partially protected her from unwanted mental influence.
Soon afterwards, she became effectively untraceable, resurfacing only, well, now.
