The idea is original to me that people should individual-live more than group-live, and that social life will be a lot more accepting and enjoyable for living angels among us, when it is acceptable and normal for great souls to socialize and mix when they want to, and to self-isolate when they choose too, without being scolded or punished.
It appears that Hoffer socialized when he wanted to or needed to, and then disappeared into his flat when he needed to. Read this quote from Calvin Thomkins biography, Page 63: "After the Sunday-morning walk, Hoffer goes back to his room across town. He cannot be with people for too long a stretch, not even the people he loves."
