The Recluse

"The Recluse" refers to a person who intentionally withdraws from social life and society, often seeking solitude for personal, philosophical, or spiritual reasons. Such individuals typically avoid public attention, social interactions, and often live a quiet, isolated lifestyle. Their withdrawal is usually a conscious choice, aiming for reflection, self-discovery, or to escape external pressures. Recluses can be found in various cultures and historical contexts, and their behavior is distinct from those who are socially anxious or forced into isolation. Ultimately, they prioritize solitude for personal fulfillment or growth.
