Trust mech, it's worth it for all of the corlorful stuff to stay right where it is. To be mufka in general might not make you very geshmak to shmooze with, but it's benifits do outweigh that disadvantage.
They say a story, that there was an asifah of the gedolim about 25 years ago, and the Steipler was present with his son R' Chaim. In the meeting they were discussing a certain issue, and durring the course of the discussion, R' Chaim asked what Golda Meir's stand was on the issue. Everyone was quiet, and the Steipler got up, walked over to him and kissed him.
She had been dead for almost 10 years.
