The more I see of society, the better I like staying home with husband and the dog. I do as little socializing as possible. Hate to turn into a hermit, but it has a positive side, also. Even going to church has a downside these days. The bulletin is always asking for prayers for someone who did missionary service in some South American country, as is now stricken with a life threatening or debilitating disease (and these people return to USA and church services in the middle of their treatment!).

Yep. In addition, I am never around kids, bless their little disease vectors. As a result, I can’t remember the last time I was ill. Neither can I remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, but still.

I’ve become more and more of a hermit.

Socializing is something I really like to avoid now. I like being left alone with my jalopy vehicle collection, dog, camera equipment, vintage movies & TV, spouse, and that is about it.

After a week of supporting the terminally spoiled, lazy, and sometimes way overpaid, I can’t deal with people much.

Seeing the whackos, slobs, and freaks out in the streets and events in large numbers, it’s too much.

Same. I used to wonder if there was something "wrong" with that, but realized that we are all wired differently. I know people that have to be around other people all the time and can get a sort of quiet desperation about not staying at home.

I find it a blessing. Much of what I see of "society" today repels me.
