How Much Of A Hermit Are You?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm pretty much a hermit as well. I sleep in until about noon. Hang around my house until I leave for work about 3:30. Try to stay in my cubicle at work as much as possible until I get off at midnight. Get home around 12:30 and watch TV/movies until I go to bed about 4:00am.

One night a month I go to my board game group and occasionally, I get together with someone for games or movies on a weekend, but not very often.

im pretty much a hermit, and get my hermit on. still smiling at all them girls online though

I'm strange, sometimes I'm a hermit, sometimes I have people who I love being with and I get "addicted" to being around them.

Well i live with a large family and we enjoy a lot among ourselves,we do not have much of a social contact outside.We are happy with in our own world.

So in a sense i am a hermit since i do not socialize much but there is enough of enjoyment with my family members.

I used to think I was more of a social butterfly, I have a very easy time talking to people and I am very open and honest to a fault. { I scare some people. LOL }

...yet there came some time I felt less inclined I noticed.

Now that I am involved with someone who is a hermit due to his likely AS, I am one too...I sometimes dislike it and crave hearing others around me and having some form of social interaction, but if given the choice I would likely rather spend time just being around him. { Even though he is rather inattentive on a whole}

He is very much a hermit, he does work though and as much as I have read...I realize that his ability to hold a job is a blessing and not something all Aspies can do.

...and he does tend to "say" he'd like more outside interests, but left to his own device it will never happen apparently.

I think I would be fine with just finding a place that I found beautiful and just being around him more than anything else, not many other people interest me anymore...I don't really feel any huge compulsion to find friends anymore.

...and he can't even hold his head up at someone's house completely, so I think he is definitely more comfortable just being at home.

serenity, there is an actual social group here in the city in which I live for people with Aspergers but, I choose not to be part of it cause, it appears so low in membership as well the person whom runs it acts like the meetings are some sort of military strategy session which, I kid you not so so, I simply choose to remain by myself you could say..

I am quite "hermity". I have a couple friends that stop and visit once in a while, but I never go see them. I never go out to eat or anything like that. I pretty much stay home and live my life in seclusion. I like it that way. Once in a while i get the ambition to talk to someone and i usually make a quick phone call or something, but it's rare. I normally get enough social contact from the occasional visitor.

When you have your special interest who needs friends.

Hi Serenity. I'm surprised that you brought up this topic because I've been a hermit almost all my life. Number 1, I've been so busy with homework and studying that I had no time to develop friendships w/ anyone during high school and college. Number 2, many of my peers (mostly NTs) are always engaging in crazy foolish activities such as smoking, boozing, sex and late-night loud partying. I've been having a difficult finding people who are clean and less likely to do stupid things that I can befriends, but I'm not still losing hope.

The one advantage of being a hermit is that you have all the peace and quiet you need in order to relax and study and do your homework.

I basically go out to do 1 of 3 things usually:

See my girlfriend

Go to work

Do something else business-related

Otherwise, I'm at home, on my computer, working on my business, or chatting online with my gal, or turning on the TV briefly; that's it.
