What are the side effects of becoming an extreme Hermit?

I’m talking about total isolation from any human or animal contact. Like the stories they have about a guy who decides to move somewhere near a mountain, far from civilization, and lives off of plants, fish, and the like. Say you do that for 50+ years…..would you eventually go insane? I’m pretty sure you’d start talking to yourself, or maybe forget language all together. What do you think the person would be going through? Thanks.

That would depend on the person’s personality. Most people are extroverts and really like being around other people. But some people are introverts and like being alone. I am a schizoid, think of it as the most extreme type of introvert. I really dislike being around people. Really really dislike it. I find all people boring and just not worth my time. I would love to live on a mountain and never see other people again………. I could spend my time reading, drawing, thinking, and never have to be interrupted again.
