Does anyone here read the magazine bimonthly magazine, Grit ? At one time it was in a newspaper format. If anyone wants to check it out, here's their URL: www.grit.com/grit-history.aspxReason I'm asking is, that I have 2 old articles from Grit's newspaper format days, about hermits. Also one wire story on a hermit. Anyone on SU interested in hermits? Anyone here ever been a hermit, or think of becoming one? |

I think people have to move out of their parent's house first to become a hermit.

Well, you'd have to be on a special diet to be ok with feeding yourself only once a day and urinate and all of that jazz once a day. Unless one would use bottles and what not .. ;D |

Many genuine hermits have serious mental health issues. For shy people who are NOT mentally ill, society often forces us to be hermit-like, but not hermits in the actual sense.

Some hermits actually become well known, and have a lot of visitors. Not real hermits then, are they? .Posers. |

All these hermits are now dead! Only hermits read GRIT. Do you want to be a hermit, Bill? |

You can be a hermit anywhere as long as it is a place where you have no contact with anyone else.

I don't know. I don't see why a hermit has to be a bad thing. People use the word like it's something to be ashamed of (i've been called a hermit before because I didn't fancy going to the pub with my sister :  . Sometimes I think it can be for the best for some people. If it's their choosing and they're happy, why not? |

That reminds me a bit of the Frankenstein story; being called a 'monster' for looking 'different', forced to become a hermit because of it, the creature's only positive interaction with a human was with a blind man.. And what struck me about the creature in Frankenstein was his kind nature in the beginning - then people treating him like shit, making him feel he must recluse - then him turning bad. I don't know.. what i'm trying to say is, I bet that's kind of how a lot hermits are. They only became hermits through how badly they got treated by most people, and through being made to feel different/like an outsider. I very much doubt that people would really chose to be alone. It's just living alone, like a hermit, means there's no risk of further rejection. (haha, wow, i'm thinking quite seriously about this hermit thing  ) |
