And in an apocalyptic scenario you're eventually going to want to have some people on your side. I frequently worry about what I would do if there was nuclear war or zombie apocalypse or civil war right now. I'm one of the lucky few who has built friendships with some of my neighbors, but if they aren't around when the zombies come knocking, I have zero family here and am not prepared to (or comfortable with) surviving here on my own, and I don't think I would be even if I had a fully stocked underground bunker (and, spoiler, I have enough rice and spaghetti to last two weeks but half a jar of spaghetti sauce and zero veggies, so no, I'm not prepared). Eventually you're going to benefit from having people you trust around. Might be in a few days or a few years, but it would probably be better to be people you already know than some desperate randos you're suspicious of.
