Are any of you loners?

Always a loner, choose to be one, never lonely. Solitude is bliss.

When I was young I was afraid of crowds, but also afraid of being left alone. Was a crybaby.

I think I was always a loner, and only entertained high value connections, was RPed since 9.

I've never felt lonely though, was always a high functioning observer. Absorb, learn, evolve.

I prefer staying at home and doing my own thing compared to being physically outside. Don't like sunlight, white lights, unnecessary noise, etc.

One of my pet peeves is people not understanding that light can be noisy too.

Nothing beats solitude. When I look back in life any misery I experienced was usually the result of trying to force myself to not be a loner.

I shat out the last of my blue pills in my mid-twenties while attempting to assimilate into society and "be normal". 99% of people are just not worth the trouble of getting to know and will just take from your life with never giving back.

Being able to be alone and being happy alone are the number one survival skills a man needs to live a content life in these fucked up times we are in. A lot of men do not have the option of being alone- I feel bad for them.... for a few seconds and then acknowledge that is what they get for being weak.

ZigZagProton · 2020-07-20T05:32:59+00:00

I enjoy living alone. Do have some friends and occasional sex to satisfy my biological urge at times. Also one of my life goal is to live long enough to witness how far sex robot technology can go.

I think the problem most people have is that they do what they want most of the time but it sets up a pattern that can make them feel overwhelmed for the rest of the time. Someone may love to socialize so they do, but they end up making more plans than they can handle and it tends to be stressful. Loners tend to do the same, we enjoy our alone time but then all it takes is a few cancellations or someone moving and suddenly you're not just alone, you're lonely.

I definitely love my breathing room, I keep a small circle but as soon as Covid hit 2 of my 3 friends moved away and the thirds girlfriend didn't want him 'getting infected' so it's been a lonely time.

richasalannister · 2020-07-20T06:51:42+00:00

Yes. Not by choice

monk2019 · 2020-07-20T08:37:45+00:00

I love solitude, but i can enjoy good company once in a while

Jake4523 · 2020-07-20T15:09:35+00:00

I'm a loner, not because I was forced into it, rather I enjoy being by myself. Now don't get me wrong I have friends who I hang out with, or go to the gym with but I enjoy just being by myself. I also believe I have a bit of social anxiety and I fucking hate crowds now.

DevilComeKnockin · 2020-07-20T07:27:35+00:00

Yes, but it wasn't by choice, at first. I'm autistic, so I never really connected with people that well. They didn't want me around, and my mother was very protective, so I just ended up being alone most of my childhood. That changed in college. I became very outgoing, with lots of friends, due to the social environment. Since my marriage fell apart, I've been mostly a loner again, but that's kinda normalized for me at this point. There's just not that many people that I really want to be around anymore.

principledbeast1 · 2020-07-20T17:54:59+00:00

I am. I think I have naturally become more introverted as I have aged too. It probably stems from having to deal with people all day but I really don't miss being married either. It felt like I was coming home from one job just to start another job.

Solo_and_Simple · 2020-07-20T16:00:59+00:00

Yes, I'm a loner. I have a book recommendation for you, if you're interested: Anneli Rufus, Party of One. Check it out, if you get a chance. She talks all about being a loner, the unfair stigma of it, and the joys of being one.

redditloginfail · 2020-07-20T12:54:12+00:00

I'm an introvert by nature. But do also occasionally feel lonely. We don't really have a sense of community anymore. Everything in life, aside from close family, is just a series of economic transactions. Maybe it always was.

But anyway a person can either mope about how society sucks, or just find other things to enjoy.

dmjdkfkgkvkfkr · 2020-07-20T15:30:31+00:00

Being alone does not entail loneliness.

Being all one is something most people can’t accept.

tehpanda64 · 2020-07-20T20:54:58+00:00

My own life choices, but I am getting back in touch with past friends, only online but for me it is enough.

jaibajpai7 · 2020-07-20T11:52:59+00:00

Loner even when surrounded by people previously. When started GMOW it has gone complete loneliness and radio silence.

ItPutsLotionOnItSkin · 2020-07-20T08:48:19+00:00

I love the silence and free time.

GlobalAsshat · 2020-07-21T11:22:27+00:00

I quite enjoy it. The cost of living is low and I can do what I want, when I want.. I can lift weights and eat like a pig one day, or fast and enjoy some Far Cry Primal the next, without anyone telling me I'm wasting my time and need to do more with my life. I make good money so there's no need to change it up right now.

Zilo88 · 2020-07-21T05:32:15+00:00

I isolated myself from early adolescence to now. I do get lonely, but that's the way of it. The quiet and calm can be soothing.

FatDude87 · 2020-07-20T23:12:30+00:00

I'm a loner, an introvert. Always have been, even as a child. It's just how my life's always been.

When I was young the other kids were mean and didn't want me around and the adults always gave me those phony smiles and fake hellos. So, I learned at an early age that I was a misfit/outsider who didn't fit in. I've always found more peace and positivity in solitude. Simple as that. I've never had a positive experience with women.

I don't really feel lonely. Most people around me are not like minded so there's no reason for me to communicate with them or seek their company. I do wish their were more like minded (red pill/woke) people around me because it would be nice to bounce ideas off each other but I've only ever found like minded people online.

Being a loner/introvert is not bad. It's just how some people are. Being a loner makes you stronger mentally and emotionally.

Bloodrain_souleater · 2020-07-20T20:22:03+00:00

Yes

chechenWolf786 · 2020-07-20T20:18:30+00:00

I'm a loner.

Never had many friends. I regularly purge "friends".

I have about 4-5 close friends. Most are from high school. The structured environment was nicer than that of university.

rb5775 · 2020-07-20T19:29:37+00:00

I've never felt lonely unless I was in a relationship. Strange huh.

edwincoops · 2020-07-20T19:23:58+00:00

Yeah im a loner by nature. All my life even through school I preferred being alone.

TigPlaze · 2020-07-20T19:05:00+00:00

I am. I prefer not having people bother me. Not everyone is worth my time. I would rather pick and choose whom I associate with.

rmeestudios · 2020-07-20T17:40:32+00:00

I'm seriously lonely for like 30 seconds a year. Once I told myself it was ok to be alone and didn't have to feel like I was a weirdo, I never went back. Can't get enough of it.

oushkul · 2020-07-20T07:45:08+00:00

I'm not sure you can choose to be a loner. Either you are happy alone, or lonely.

B4K3R245 · 2020-07-20T06:05:17+00:00

I used to be lonely but I got a girlfriend and got bored of her (She left me at first, by the way). I now know I'm better off alone, all by myself.
