I could probably be a hermit. I have a tendency to stay home for weeks on end if I don't participate in activities with others. I joined a guild to get out more. I now belong to a small quilting group. We meet twice a month. We have about 15 members but there is usually only 7 or 8 there at any given time. We sew and visit. Sometimes I get a lot done, sometimes not. I have made some good friends and have fun with them. We teach each other, get help with projects, have show and tell. There is support when we are going through life's challenges. Sometimes I take a hand project, sometimes I take my machine, depends on what I want to do.
I also enjoy sewing alone. I guess my answer is both.
