Doing nothing. Sitting around your house doing nothing but watching TV or on the internet. Avoiding actual social activity other than the internet. Going out and doing something is usually an option, but you prefer being a loner. The act of hermitting is usually done in what is known as a hermie hut.
'What ya doing?' "Not much really, just hermitting."

A hermit is a person who lives to some greater or lesser degree in seclusion and/or isolation from society.

The life of a hermit is usually very lonely, they don't like going out and seeing other people/friends and prefer to stay indoors.

A hermits best friend is usually his computer or television. They usually find sanctuary in games such as Guitar Hero or World of Warcraft.
