With a serious lack of third spaces, and the way everything is monetized and subscription based, there's really no reason to go out there. I mostly only leave my house to go be in nature. I have a vacation coming up and we are going somewhere even less populated than the little town of 400 we live in. The cell service is terrible there too. I can't wait

I will be the old trans witch in the bog that the young queers come to for communist wisdom
Hermit life with a spouse that has a good friend group is an awesome compromise. As the spouse I’m almost expected to drop in or out and nobody questions if they don’t see me for months, this behavior has destroyed almost all my other friendships.
Even with a spouse that I’m basically attached at the hip to, I still prefer long stretches of alone time. When my spouse visits their family and I stay at home with the pets, I’m truly in my lane. Those are my ideal vacations.
internet delenda est
(then I could be a real hermit)
When I worked retail I found that I would get socially overwhelmed by the end of the day too. Shits exhausting
Came here to say this. After a day of teaching, I don't want to converse with a single person.
by the end of the day too
It took me 4 hours max.
There are days when it's as soon as you get there
Kitchen and I'm.thr guy calling orders and talking to front of house. Yeah
Sup hermit buddy. you’re not the only one, I find the outside world exhausting and prefer to putter around my house and garden.
I’ve been a hermit long stretches of my life , late nights, screens, solitude, the whole deal. Recently gave relationships a shot, and hey, it was actually pretty neato, even if it didn’t last.
Keep an open mind. Try stuff. If flying solo turns out to be your vibe, that’s totally cool too.
The truth is I could legit spend 3 months just in my flat without any outside contact if food and basic daily stuff was taken care off. Its probably good that I see 2-3 people at least on normal days though.
I get it. I'm often the only company I want to keep
I wish for the same thing 
hell yeah
every day I miss living alone
Me too buddy, me too.
