A condition whereby the sufferer does not like to be out in public or surrounded by people for long periods of time. The sufferer would rather be alone and by themselves than have interaction with other people. The person with this condition is not a loner, just someone who prefers their own company to the company of others.
"That's Shannon over there, she's got Hermititis. I think she caught it in Iowa."
"Hey Shannon, whats up with you today? You don't seem to be yourself.."
"Oh, thats just my Hermititis flaring up again. Must be a full moon."

A person living in solitude for different reasons. Reasons can be introversion, religious discipline, laziness, or just plain "gave-up-on-humanity-ism".
"You should beware of how much time you spend alone, dude. You're starting to become a hermit, and pretty soon we won't see you at all ... man."

I don't know how a Hermit is synonomous with loser or lazy but whatever.
Anyway Hermits are people who tend to not want to socialize with other humans all the time. Most spend their entire lives wandering the planet. Like loners they do tend to make friends, and associates, and can pretty much network with anyone, but they choose not to go any further than a hollow friendship. Though they do run in to the best plutonic relationships.
Hermits, and loners are not socially inept, but hermits tend to not like to stay in the same place for very long. Thus not permitting the time it takes to actually be in some kind of crappy group or something like that.

Hermits are alone. Though they are alone they have no problem with socializing with people, but they chose a life that leaves them alone.

To live as a loner, by choice or not, despite the presence of other options; for spiritual reasons or other reasons; to spend time away from people to read, write, introspect, gain knowledge, learn about self, learn lessons from the past, learn about life. Sometimes it can be the result of a trauma or depression, too.
"I've already spent a lot of time hermitting about you. Had a lot to learn from this poking and questioning, but I think I covered most of the You question now."
For example, when you get dumped by a loved one, you'll often question yourself for a long time about what happened that caused the failure. Sometimes when you really want answers, you'll tend to avoid noise and people. This is what I call "hermitting". This behaviour can get compared to that of a hermit, because the person rather spend time alone, to think, than with people having fun and socializing.
Sometimes, after a major turn in life, hermitting can be a necessary phase of "digestion of events" before being able to move on.
