You don't have to be a party animal to be part of society. All you have

Balderdash ... poppycock ... being part and parcel of society


inherently presupposes an association with a community of others an
affiliation which, by your own admission, you firmly reject., so you
cut the crap.


You confuse being social with being a member of a society. This is a
common
failing of those who have never had a course in sociology or anthropology.

Had courses in both and didn't need either to realize what you fail


to ... that is that a hermit is by choice not a member of society.
One who chooses not to participate is not a member ... end of story!

A hermit is still a member of the society in which resides if he shares
anything in common with such members.


Biomass of like genetic material and chemical composition do not a
member of society make. No matter what kind of spin you attempt put
on this, a hermit voluntarily lives in solitude disenfranchised from
society. Being a member of society inherently presupposes an
association with community. Troglodyes simply do not qualify!
