maybe but the truth is people who like being a loner literally don't do anything, all they do is work and rot at home. Special moments in your life only feel special if they are shared experiences with others, if you're alone all the time you have no special moments in your life. I remember reading a quote something like that

I'm in the camp where i think if you actually enjoy being alone all the time there is something wrong with your brain, maybe depression, self esteem issues idk

Everyone is a loner, because everyone has their own POV.

As someone who spends a lot of time alone, but obviously would go crazy if I didn't do social things every couple weeks, I understand why people like it, especially if you're intelligent.

There are a lot of low IQ insecure people out there who pick little fights and things in order to feel good about themselves. Can be really fun to hang out with, but after a certain point you kinda do a cost/benefit analysis and realize that there isn't some huge benefit to spending time with these people and they tend to fill your head with a bunch of nonsense that throws you off.

Someone like myself can be very focused and productive in solitude, and I'll often accomplish more in a couple weeks of solitude than most people will in months.

You appreciate being alone if you've ever been in a bad relationship or grew up in a toxic household. Perspective is everything

Regardless you're the only person thats gonna be with you till you die, so being a better friend to yourself will make life alot easier.

I know people that bounce between relationships cause they can't stand their own company, thats a chitty place to be in

Know a lot of sloots like that. They never seem to have any genuine hobbies or interests.

I am perfectly comfortable in social situations but I prefer to be alone.

Its like I have to switch on when I am with others. I dont mind it, its just a different me than when I am by myself.

I'm not a loner, but I've always really enjoyed my time alone, more so than the opposite I think I'd say at this point in my life

I've had a ton of fun with people, and enjoy all that still, but enjoy just doing things myself even more sometimes

Yes I don't care if I have no friends.

ur also an alt with a cat profile tho

Loved being a Loner in my 20's... For some reason, the loneliness would always hit me in the shower. Not sure why, but it was an awful feeling.

Even now, I like time to myself. There's nothing wrong with it, if you can handle not being Social.

I'm so accustomed to that feeling I'm almost immune to it. Last gf I had was +10 years ago.

Great friends & great family is the best social situation but I would rather be alone than be stuck in a terrible relationship or hang out with friends I did not like.

Great relationships = 10
Alone but content = 5
Terrible relationships = 0

If you're alone you won't have the amazing highs that relationships bring but you also won't have the devastating lows that bad relationships can bring.

I agree about larger social gatherings being annoying with people sticking to their cliques. That stuff happens even at family reunions, but it's usually not as bad, and I'm more willing to deal with it for the sake of seeing family. Around larger groups of "friends" and such? Eh...

yes, actually fine with it now

Schizoid crew checking in.

Should have pinned up a model on the outside of the shower door.

in my profession, most people around me are like that. Some actually could be diagnosed being on spectrum. I myself long acknowledged being social retard. Engineers are like that.

When pump fail (for example), I change the seal, or bearings, and it becomes like new. When I say something and hurt someone's feelings, there is nothing I can do to repair the hurt feelings. And I say, fuск it.
