"For a long time, he had had a peculiar manner of traversing the country in all parts without being observed. He knew the bypaths, and favored solitary and winding routes; he had the shy habits of a wild beast who knows that he is disliked, and keeps at a distance. When quite a child, he had been quick to feel how little welcome men showed in their faces at his approach, and he had gradually contracted that habit of being alone which had since become an instinct."
I've done little more, since I've been home, than sit curled in an armchair in my parent's house reading Victor Hugo's "Toilers of the Sea." How do you break yourself of the habit of being alone?

i'm still not sure how to break yourself of that habit. i've been trying for the past year, the trouble being that when i'm so much comfier being alone it can be difficult to put forth a sustained effort. a few days or weekends in a row of being social, and i'm just exhausted. mentally and physically.
