Who else lives like a hermit

[Mellowmarsh]

I have to be alone because every one I interact with is also alone in their own aloneness. It’s effortless being nobody. Very liberating, the perfect freedom.

I'm a hermit most of the time, and I mostly don't mind it. Up until my mid-thirties I was always around people and I didn't mind that either, but that changed as my friends had kids and so on. It was a shock at first to be alone for so much of the time and it affected my mental health a lot. But I came out of it and I've got to say this period of being a hermit has been the most productive in terms of self-development and maturity. I don't know for how long I'll carry on being a hermit.
