Maybe this could be about a sort of accidental hermit. Someone who somehow just got used to being alone because he thought it was easier, but then he realised that it was the loneliness that was crippling him. His question to himself is, How do I make the change from hermit to friend or lover? Compare to Dickinson's "It Might Be Lonelier (without the Loneliness).
