Is there still a fish and chip shop in the middle of nowhere?
That's because it was photographed on a dry day ,the UK has been affected by global warming like every other place,what used to be called summer is 90 percent rain and 10 percent bizarrely hot where I live .Looks like another place to add to my bucket list...much like the Giant's Causeway.
Mighty dry looking for any place in Great Britain.

Behind the Mask
If you truly value them as friends and they act accordingly I could see how that would skew any thought of becoming a hermit per se. And if you share their "chemistry" I'd think that might go a long way for you.
But it doesn't change the fact that on occasion you're entitled to some solidarity. It's allowed!
When people asked me what I wanted to do after school I said " Become a hermit". The best response I ever got was from the head at collage which was " Don't say that too loudly I think most of the students would".
Sometimes it's tempting but their is people I would miss.

I am the nearly the middle of no where and we have fish and chips.Oh yes we can't survive without fish & chips
this thread.
People might call me a loner......although I'd be surprised if they think I'm a serial killer!
I find the whole socializing thing a bit of a Catch 22. I'd like to have more friends, but they usually end up irritating me and causing heaps of stress after a while. So ultimately I'm much less stressed when I'm alone. But then people think you're weird if you don't have friends! It's a tough one!
Maybe if I could meet some other Aspies I might have more friends??? I did meet one Aspie woman and we did get along well.... but then she disappeared and she doesn't do phone calls so I have no idea whether it's her or me???

Two of my friends are at least borderline aspies. It helps. They both actually understand what happens when I try to go around humans.
I am a hermit but not by choice. Every time I try to connect, it is made VERY clear to me that I am the one that people do'nt want around. You can only bang your head on the wall so many times till you feel it. I feel it now. It is not worth it.
I certainly get that reaction most the time. Or talked to like a nasty bug, or an annoying child, or just completely ignored. Sometimes people will not even acknowledge my existence but talk to who I'm with. I had a lot of people assume that what I posted somewhere as either really my boyfriend posting or me just being his "parrot" because they didn't think I could have an actual thought of my own. My friends all get that from time to time as well. Two of my friends have been banned by at least three Meetups for doing nothing wrong at all. Actually one of them just wanted to vote because he was a paying member. So they banned him. Long story. Some people out there are still mentally stuck in Jr. High even after they join AARP.
Middle of nowhere and we don't have fish and chips, poutine and pain a la viande and guedille, Uck. Give me fish and chips anytime. Not soggy fries.

I always called myself a loner that is never alone.
But, one good friend is enough.
Someone to do things with that I wouldn't care for doing alone. Like going to Disney World for example.
Loner doesn't equate serial killer IMO.
Sociopath is loner maybe, but, that also doesn't mean serial killer.
There is a higher percent of sociopaths than most people think. Psychologists say we meet them or know them all the time without knowing it.
And most don't go around killing for whatever their reason.
The word psychopath was removed from classification too, just like Aspergers.
Most people still will use the terms though since we've grown up with the use of what we consider them to mean.

It seems like limited social interaction is to an Aspie as water is to a fish, but rarely do you find the desire for no interaction.
I think the Hermit analogy comes close but isn't a exact fit therefore. I can't really find a better. The only thing that comes to mind is back in school days there were kids who weren't big into groups but always had one close friend they hung around with.

Seems like a classic response for we who are on the spectrum of autism.
Where myself as well can be surrounded by others and nebulously feel quite alone and apart.
Its like the old irish joke.
'Murphy why do you keep banging your head on the wall?'
Because it feels so good when I stop.
