Without getting into too much detail, I think the way you've described Pete
above is how he *wishes* he were, and may try to achieve this sort of
separation.
But I think he falls short and can't help but care about what people think
and perceive him as, particularly those in his circle.
I personally like those that care, more than those that don't.
