	I think his point was that MJ surrounded himself with people who liked 
him, and he'd get quite upset at those who'd criticize (legitimately) 
his ways and habits, and probably wouldn't maintain ties with those people.

	In other words, he didn't have an effective feedback mechanism from 
which he could gauge how he was doing.

	(I'm not, BTW, talking about kids - more about his inability to take 
control of finances, medications, and some personality aspects).
