hermit

A hermit is someone who chooses to live alone, often in remote or solitary environments, to focus on personal reflection, spiritual practice, or simply to seek peace away from society. This lifestyle involves minimal social interaction and typically in environments like forests, mountains, or secluded cabins. Hermits may be motivated by religious, philosophical, or personal reasons, valuing solitude as a way to achieve clarity or deeper understanding. While they may be socially reclusive, their choice is deliberate and often rooted in a desire for self-sufficiency and introspection.
