That's due to the limitation at the time.
At some point, you'll have to decide what you're doing all this for, and if it's worth all the trouble.

However, is this really what you want? You do have a lifestyle to sustain. Odds are, you've lived in the society your whole life. You'd need a decent paying job, as even having this very post would cost you something more than just your time.
The next question: what's at stake for you here? Would having your face caught at the security camera jeopardize you? Are you a world class criminal, or a retired one with your employer seeking your head to put on a pole? Are you running away from an abusive spouse? Are you running for office against certain tyrant? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then yes, you'd have to inspect every interaction you have and weight the risk against the potential gain.
Otherwise, odds are you're doing this out of curiosity and, to some extent, pleasure. To which I would ask: would limitting your social interaction 'please' you?
