hermitude 

(noun) the attitude one develops from not wanting to be social, being flaky to avoid socialization, and eventual upfront honesty about not attending social events simply because one doesn't care to.

The hermit, being "the primitive man who trusts the unconscious" (von Franz on Jung's 'Zofingia lectures')is one whose way of life is concerned with authenticity, the inner attitude to life, and developing one's inner and intuitive life, as opposed to playing a role in the external world of socio-politics.
For the one in hermitude, a simplicity of life and thought begins to unfold.
