Have you ever thought about becoming a hermit?

Do I really need to be part of society to be content with life? Can't one be happy spending his days tending to a small plot of crops and livestock in self-reflection? I wouldn't even shoot at people who wandered up to my modest domicile...I'd be a nice hermit.

whoa- i thought everyone would kinda come in here and laugh about it....it seems there are quite a few people who would actually want to be a hermit....
I guess that says a lot about anandtech member's social status in general.
Personally, I would go crazy with out social interaction. If u dont like the people you live around, then move to a new area. There ARE nice people out there that would be a lot better company than talking to a rock.

I'd like to live in a remote area, but work in a crowded area. I don't do well without social interaction.

People are social animals, they need to be around other people to be happy.

Actually, yes.. in a sense.

I would love to live out in the wilderness on my own sometime in my life.

I daydream about that alot. I would like to have access to the extremes though. I wanna be myself alot, and then dive into a bustling urban environment, and escape back. Highly unliklely I'll be able to achieve that :(

I would definitly have to be nearby some water if I was a hermit, someplace relaxing and open.

If you get really desperate, you can rub two sticks together to make fire. :p
