Being a recluse or a hermit seems like a very attractive idea right now

(I assume this is question is a poll, not a request for real information :) )
Yes, I feel that way constantly. Which is why I spend most of my time participated in discussion groups and on here - it's much less stressful than worrying about not saying or doing the wrong thing.
It's probably a big part of the reason I chose computer programming as my profession as well.
There are exceptions to the rule, of course. I like talking to my little brother.
But, for the most part, it's much, much easier to limit my social life to online interactions, where I can check over what I say before anybody sees it. Because when I have to be with other people, I'm anxious beforehand and frustrated afterwards, and... it's just harder.

You would soon get very bored and lonely. You just need some down time. Schedule some every day. Read a book or listen to your favorite music. Take a walk with your dog.
If you still feel that way after doing these things (or something similar), you may be depressed, as depressed people often suffer from isolation. Get help for that from your doctor. Good luck.

No!!! I spend all the days that I am not in uni as a recluse, I don't talk to anyone and often I don't communicate with anyone.
It is very lonely!
There are times when I am at home for example - where I want solitude for a short while...bit not for long periods.
Interacting with others makes you feel happier, sometimes appreciated and definitely not alone.....no-one should wish not to interact!!

Life would be crap if we were all individuals and never interacted with others. I understand what you mean as it would cause less back stabbing and bitching. But then we would be bored and loads of things which have been started by groups of people wouldn't have been set up.
For example Microsoft (which i presume you are using), wouldn't have been set up as it was a group activity in university, so computers would be less 'complex'

Heck, no! To not interact with people is wasting your human flesh, your brain, your soul - all of life! Without human interaction, nothing can be accomplished. It takes 6.4 billion lives to put together concepts that cannot be thought of by a single person.
One life is not enough to gain enough personal experiences to generate thoughts. (Refer to my last answered question.) Therefore, we would won't have the technology we have today!

Yes, but i try to remeber that there are other people who feel the same (like you) and i realise that if i ever meet one and i get through to them and make them see it's not so bad then putting up with all the fakes would be worth it.
p.s. you should read "catcher in the rye"

Life would be much better if other people didn't screw everything up. Which only happens through interaction.

It depends. I think it would be better to be able to interact with people how you truly want to react. I hate being fake.
