…i see myself awake and uncaring…thousands of hundreds of thousands of people i don’t know asking me for nothing…they are there on the TV…hidden by commercials i don’t watch while i make myself a forgotten breakfast…i think it was eggs…endless horror to eat dead birth and give myself life…but i am a vampire…i learned to chat gpt today…i will suck on everyone else to sustain myself…i told my boss so he would keep paying me…he took me to lunch and said we were both being fired and asked me if i knew anyone who would hire us…i went home and boiled new eggs for a snack tomorrow…i added cumin for flavor…

Hermit, that's me! I related to 90% of the description, except that I can be highly opinionated.

I’ve definitely had more of a hermit-like life since the pandemic… Completely content to stay within my home.

Hermit Life: Kicking and Screaming all the Way

“Hermit or hermit not, there is no ‘try’ “she exclaimed as she walked away.

Away from the drama – the hurt – and the company she kept.

They called her extroverted because she was looking for love. She didn’t feel love for herself.

It’s OK, they said. They told her: “a man will love you”. He’ll give you the love you don’t have for yourself.

Extroverts find love outside of themselves, they said. They make others happy.

“Others” agreed. They wanted to become happy.

The extrovert tried – to make others happy to become happy.

It didn’t work.

Happy hermits have self-love.
