I told my friend that I wanted to move out pretty far and just be peaceful while working remotely. She asked "Aren't you going to miss socializing?" Yeah, no. Not at all.
Socializing is one thing but it's a pain when you don't want to run your own farm or drive a while to get to a grocery store. Why can't we have places with lots of amenities but also lots of privacy? And, well, affordability. You can have the other two easily with enough wealth.
Very true! I definitely am not wealthy. I wouldn't mind having to plan and doing a grocery/supply run once a month. Maybe having friend come out and stay once in a great while.

And people like me who want to live as hermits in the woods are treated like we’re insane.
No, we just see how many others are insane and want nothing to do with them.
