do you know a form of anarchism that doesnt focus so heavily on community (like a society without hierarchy and based on mutual aid but where i can limit my social contacts to the mutual aid thing?) I have social anhedonia and consider myself a socialist but im weary of anarcho-communism bc it always seems like in that society there would be a lot of pressure to spend time with others, which would just be really draining for me

This actually isn’t necessarily true. You could be a total loner in anarcho-communism, there would be no expectation that you spend time with others socially. And you would still be taken care of. That’s the beauty of the idea.

Being part of a community means to have your needs met by the people around you as you meet theirs, it does not mean being obliged to talk or otherwise socialize with the people around you.
