I’ve gone for long periods without human contact or company, especially in the deepest, darkest, depths of depression, but I’m fortunate in that I had people checking up on me. Maybe I could ignore them the first five times they called but they were pesky and tenacious and even if I only mumbled in agreement occasionally, I had one former friend in particular who could literally go on for hours, lol. But no. I couldn’t be a hermit, if not for reasons of needing human contact, I have medical issues that often require attention.
