During Covid I had justification for my hermit lifestyle. Since becoming a father, my circle of friends has shrunk. My life centered around them and the social contacts I made because of them. Now that they’re grown up, I’ve lost contact with that circle of parents. My father was a hermit and I struggle to resist his path. When he passed away, his contacts were limited to his wife, his three kids, their spouses, their children, and a few caregivers. I’ve been working to reverse my pattern of cave dwelling. I’ve been writing, blogging and using s0cial media to open myself to a greater world. I’ve heard from friends I hadn’t spoken to in decades. I’m going to my college homecoming in November, first time in thirty plus years. It’s uncomfortable, but I think life with friends is better than brooding in a cave.
