22:43Now PlayingSolophile better than isolophile. Differences between isolophile, schizoid, introverted, socially anxious, avoidant, depressive, and shy.
People too dumb, dishonest and high-maintenance. But choosing the Unabomber option – hermitlike monkish seclusion - is not isolophilia. It is a respite.
Isolophiles are not schizoid and a few are asexual: they crave solitude, they most enjoy their own company, and are happiest when engaged in solitary activities. But, society regards them as weirdos.
Well-meaning people attempt to impose on them companionship and group activities. Some isolophiles react aggressively to such incursions. They become misanthropic, cantankerous, ornery, offensive, haughty, and defensive.
This is a dysfunctional behavioral strategy of driving everyone away and securing the aloneness the isolophile needs in order to thrive.
