Do you look down on non-entrepreneurs?
arojahn: "I'm getting an unspoken but almost palpable sense of disappointment and disinterest"The disappointment might be due to your entrepreneur friends believing you were great at being an entrepreneur, and that it's a waste to the community if you go back to being employed? I know I sometimes feel that way when I see a potentially great entrepreneur quit; but that doesn't change the fact that getting a job can still be the right thing for you.
And personally, I wouldn't worry about those people who display disinterest - they were probably only interested in the fellow entrepreneur, not the person.
