You sound depressed. :(

[singinmime]

I enjoyed the video...just curious though, how did you come about the idea to post a you tube video on being a hermit?

[singinmime]

@ambientgreg it was a college paper, and i just decided to post it

Not everyone who doesn't want to socialize has social anxiety or is anti-social. It's called being Introverted verses being extraverted, look it up.

Also not all hermits are religious.

Quit generalizing.

ppl are just born differently. Some are very social and some are not. Some are very clairvoyant while others are one tracked.Some are religious while others are not.

If all people were the same way this world will be very boring to live in.

You sound so bored and depressed. You can be much happier if you stopped living a simple life.

@singinmime you said you had quite a sheltered upbringing. it's possible that you never acquired the social skills necessary to engage with people in a meaningful way. i say this as someone who leads a very similiar lifestyle with that sheltered upbringing. i sometimes don't understand social protocol or the way people communicate with me often goes misunderstood.. so it's just easier for me to avoid people if i can.

Hermits and cats make an awesome relationship :D

As I listened to you narrative, I lost count of the parallels between your life and my own. I prefer to do my socializing online, I have a few interests that I obsess over (Art & Writing), and I like for my small personal space to be private. It's great being a hermit.

@TheMistAnchorite what's a "heremit"?

a kind of glove that comes back to you......like a boomerang?

Society is broke, wanting time to yourself for yourspace for your being is a healthy & natural response to todays ill society. Society chalks it up to social anxiety because you should be working your brains out as a cog in the wheel. Be like the rest it screams.... As J. Krishnamurti pointed out once, it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Your healthier then a whole hell of alotta people bud.

@Kateydid18 Our perceptions often speak of what the self feels.
