I seem to be increasingly embracing being a total hermit (hexbear.net)

Due to some events in my life I really don't have any friends or partners, my only real social connection is my sister and her husband who I hang out with infrequently. And for a while this made me really depressed, but now, I'm finding myself enjoying the solitude. I've gotten really good at keeping myself entertained, I take long walks, I read books, I watch movies. Sometimes I'll just lay down and meditate for an hour or two.

If anything I wish I had a bit MORE solitude right now. I'm living with two roommates and have a retail job but wish I could just get a cabin and a remote job.

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.
