How many of you guys are loners out there? I don't mean just a person who sits by them selves at lunch but someone who can stand very well on thier own. How many of you guys would consider yourselves to be individualist or you have a lot of friends but still feels as if they are somehow distant from everyone else? If you can call your self a loner tell my why and describe how you got to be that way.

I'm a loner when I'm around strangers. I just sit quietly around people I don't know, but if I'm around some of my friends on campus I talk to them. In a lot of cases, I do prefer to work alone on a project, I just find it easier to manage, easier to focus, and things turn out the way you want it to. On the contrary, I've chosen to work in groups when the workload gets high.

A lone wolf? No- a lone soul!

No- not really. I don't think I'm a lone wolf. But I do enjoy being by myself a lot. It's not like- I don't like hanging out with people- I love hanging out with my friends- but I just absolutely LOVE being by myself. Like- this one friend that I have- I love her to death- but she always wants to hang out, and I just want to be by myself for a while- or maybe like- the whole day.

I think I may like being alone 'cause I was alone a lot when I was a kid. I'm an only child- ma momma only had 'nuff love for one fruit expelled violently from her loins- so I spent a lot of time by myself growing up. It's not being alone if you enjoy it though- it's more like, basking in solitude.

I am lone wolf even on games like RPG i always discard my teammates and play with single character, and other online games i do everything alone best !

I'm not too good with people, so...

I'm a lonewolf but I don't mean to be!

I'm a lone wolf... I even took an online quiz that told me so! hahaha

To be honest, though, I would say that label fits me rather well. I've had a completely different life experience than most people I've met. I've lived and traveled the world over, and have seen the amazing footprints left by human civilization, and likewise, experienced and saw things that don't bear repeating. When I was younger I moved around quite a bit, so I was never able to keep friends for long, and even then, I never felt the need to get close to people. I always felt I couldn't relate with them entirely, as they usually had a comparatively limited life experience.

I also have a unique family history and dynamic. My father and mother completely isolated us from the rest of our family, so we barely know any of our history or relations. In addition to this, my parents previous bad experiences with people in general (my father was in a war, and my mother came from deep poverty) discouraged most interaction outside of our family sphere. I've tried to grow past this life approach in my own ways, believing it to be an immature, unforgiving and hopeless reproach of humanity, but so far I've found my experiences sadly mirror their sentiment: most people, though kind, friendly and smiling on a relatively superficial level, are often at heart selfish, thoughtless little creatures, willing to do horrible things for horrible reasons. You'll find that even the closest friends will betray and disappoint you when it matters most... and as such, it's very difficult to openly find trust in this world.

I'm also a twin! I never tended to relate with people individually, but as the pair of myself and my twin. For most people it's an amusing and entertaining quirk, I suppose, but there are many triumphs and travails to this unique dynamic. Growing up I didn't really need any friends outside the sphere of my family, as there was always a good friend that I could completely relate with and trust right at home. Even now, I don't think there are any people that could understand the complexity of me as well as he does. Being a twin also has a way of enhancing one's thinking and observational awareness, as there are two minds working in constant unison with one another analyzing and understanding the world together, inadvertently making it difficult to level with most ordinary people isolated in singular perspective. In each other we always found a ready companion to spar in a mental chess of philosophies, logics and ethics. Our reasoning abilities were refined by a lifetime of constant intellectual deliberation, which unfortunately can't be said for most people who don't even dare to seriously pick apart and question what they believe.

This is beginning to get drawn out, and yet it's only a fraction of the contributing factors to my unique life perspective. I suppose I could sum it up so: I am an extremely different individual in many respects compared to the average layman, and in finding difficulty relating to most people, who I generally find to be lacking in ethics, logical savvy, and breadth of life experience, I always find myself constantly distanced from them, and thus a lone wolf.

I'm not so much of a loner in the sense that I keep to myself or don't have friends, but I am in the sense that I'm willing to hold positions that are capable of defining me as an outsider. At times there seem to be lots of issues, especially issues of conscience when I am more than somewhat willing to oppose the majority opinion.

I'm an American and I have some very serious concerns about the extent to which we, as a nation have taken homeland security measures, and unlike most Americans with a similar belief I've held this opinion since, shortly after the 9/11 event. I am seriously hawkish about how the war in Afghanistan should be prosecuted, and if I had gotten my way we would have never sent the military into Iraq. I think the war in Iraq was an unjust war, and there is not a single thing that has happened since the start of the war, that qualifies as an outcome of value to the nation.

Yes I am a loner when it come to matters of conscience. I usually find that my most sincerely held positions are at the extreme and do not allow compromise, and when I am isolated in my positions I am unaffected by not having fellows.

I used to be lone when I was younger, about the age of 12, don't know why, I was like programmed to do one thing, study hard, and all I wanted was to succeed and make my parents proud, so I didn't care about making friends and hanging out with them to have fun, I only knew two things, school-home, home-school. But I actually felt horrible about it, but I just wasn't the type that dragged attention and that wanted to be heard and seen. I was very shy, didn't dare, afraid, it certainly did have something to do with the period of that age because you start to change and don't know who you really are, but I also think much of the impact was on account of my childhood, because I never experienced what it is like to have friends that care about you, I couldn't bring any friends home, I was told to not talk to strangers and not go far away from home, my dad was very strict and quite antisocial, I think the biggest reason for my way of being is because of him. I don't blame him because he surely did his best to raise me the way he thought was "alright", but he had an awful childhood too... anyways, both my parents were strict and there was no way you could talk to them and try to calm them down, they would definitely scream at you and make you feel horrible, they couldn't understand you.
Fortunately though, I changed it, I changed myself, now I hang out with my friends, I call them and they call me, I can talk among strangers, I ask for help when in need, and I am not afraid to show myself, to stand for something I think is good, to tell my opinion, I am kind of independent, I don't listen to my parents anymore, I take my own conclusions, I do everything I want. Of course sometimes I like being alone, but that's a totally different thing, because I remember how I was, totally closed out, I have changed dramatically and feel a lot better, I like my way of living much more now.

I prefer to be alone at times, but for the reason that I don't want people who would take advantage of me, which are the ones who keep annoying me, to be near me. I have friends though, it just though happens that we're in separate classes since i'm in high school.

I am pretty much an opposite of a loner.

While I do offer/give lots of help to those around me, I would never survive without people to bounce ideas off of. When working on a project, I generally prefer talking to people I hate for help rather than no one. I guess my relationship with the world is a mutual assistance type of relationship.

As much as I love the company of my friends and family, I like my alone time, too. I think I stand well on my own and I'm not afraid to go and do things by myself. At the same time, I am well-balanced between the two. I spend time alone studying and whatnot, but I also plan fun, themed parties for all my friends to get together.

I like to be by myself I can gather quite a few friends together at once but you can't make me stay around them for long before i seperate from the group to do my own thing then i return to hang some more but then i end up leaving again. I like to explore wander around get to know my surroundings and if we ever go some place new i know where every thing is before they ask. hey wheres the party room they were talking about then i pop up behind the group walking through them saying follow me then. what i would love even more is to just hang with my girl in private but that day will come when i get one again....now im really a lone wolf since she went back home -_-

I am, hands down, a lone wolf.
At school, I dreaded group projects. I would rather do all the work myself, than share with a couple people. I don't want to let them down with the work I do, and I don't want them to let me down.
I also can't do team sports. I tried playing baseball, and it didn't work out well for me. If a teammate didn't put an effort into whatever they were doing (may that be batting or covering a base), it would honestly just drive me insane. The only sports I can handle are individual sports (such as gymnastics, horse-back riding, dance etc.)
However, when it comes to my friends, I would rather be in their company. My friends are the only exception when it comes to working with groups of people (and I'm sure that's the same for a lot of people as well).

In the vacant, snow enveloped tundra... There lies a lone white wolf.

I have friends, yet I keep to myself.
I like to work by myself.
I don't like to ask for help; I know that I am able to do tasks myself.
I like to get away and have alone time in peace.

It's nice to be alone for a while, it lets me think about things. Being a "loner" sometimes is the best way to go whenever you don't want any drama and such. At least, I think so.

I would say that more than half of 'me' is a lone wolf.

Everybody has their own lone wolf residing within themselves. It's just a matter of how many times you take the lone wolf out and for how long. Since I feel like being alone a lot, that means that I have my "lone wolf" by my side constantly.

I hope this makes sense somewhat.

I'm not directly a lone wolf, but when I meet people I haven't met before, I almost don't talk, so I'm hard to get to know. (unless I'm hyper, lol)
And I love being for myself.

But when I'm around friends, I talk a lot XD
