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 indeed a lone wolf and I honestly consider it a blessing. Some people just have too many "friends" which can't even be considered friends as they would not help them unless they profit from it. I do have a good amount of friends, but the kind of friends that will be at my side when I need them to be there, I can't ask for more!

Anyone who posts here probably isn't, or is hoping to get papers to download an awesome picture..

I mean really, if you were a lone wolf, wouldn't you be avoiding human contact?

My very first time posting here. it's kind of sad to be a lone wolf, huh? Anw, while under great stress i often close my heart and seek for loneliness rather than sharing my thoughts with my best fellows. i'm an outsider, indeed. but sometimes, it is
a lone soul that gives you the secured feeling

I'm exactly this way. It's a mix between me already being slightly anti-social and loving working alone to being burned by a few too many people in the past. I prefer solitude and quiet when I can get it, and the person I trust the most in the world is myself. I do enjoy other people's company, and when I'm around the right people I love every minute of it. However, when it comes down to basics, I'm a person who does very well when left alone and working on my own.

I wouldn't call myself a lone wolf but I tend to have fun on my own just as well as with my friends. I don't mind being alone, it's quite relaxing at at times. It really depends on my mood, if I feel like it I could stay home for days or just do anything alone and sometimes I just feel like I need to go out with my friends and have fun =D

As a kid, my parents were very overprotective of me and my sisters. I lived in a house with high walls and gates (I saw it as a fortress as opposed to prison) and in the end I only had my video games, art and family. I think I only really made friends in high school, but even then, I consider myself to be a loner. I'm a horrible people person and can't carry conversations with people I don't know well. Though I have close friends, I prefer to work by myself when given the option and when I am, however put in a group project, I take on the role that takes place at then end like putting together a presentation or such so I can be the one to take care of loose ends (especially when I grouped with people who think they can slack off since they're in a group). I also prefer to brood during bus rides than have someone sit and talk to me about their weekends (no offence though).

So. tl;dr: I'm pretty much a lone wolf.

I am a lone wolf at all one hundred percent! I certainly have friends, but their range is sharply limited. I do not trust anyone my secrets. Although sometimes love to be in the spotlight but more often prefer solitude. I've never showed my problems and weaknesses

I don't think I care whether if I'm alone or with friends...I think I can manage on my own, but it's a selfish thing to say...I think. I need my friends but not the kind of freinds that will leave me alone. And if they do (I doubt that) I'll be ok...

I guess some people considered me a loner, but I came to terms with my introversion a long time ago. Though I like to spend a lot of time to myself, I also understand that I like and need the company of others. Socializing doesn't get any easier without trying. It is something that you are going to have to actively practice. That doesn't mean you have to get involved with situations that make you extremely uncomfortable but you will have to come out of your comfort zone some, and the more you do it the more confidence you'll build and socializing will become easier. I was someone who had the same friends most of my life coming into college so when I went away to college I had to overcome my social awkwardness and the culture shock I experienced. I made small talk with people in my classes, when to social functions that I thought would be interesting, and joined programs that were applicable to my major. Eventually, I made friends that lasted throughout my college years and beyond. I know it's hard but no one can tell you it'll be okay unless you make it so.

You may feel like a loser but people aren't really all that special. You have to believe that there is nothing inherently better about the next person. They are simple people who also have flaws and weird things about them as well. If you feel as if you are a loser, then people will probably treat you as such.

I'm definitely a lone wolf.

It's a touchy subject for me, really. I grew up as an ugly child and pretty much nobody wanted to hang out or play with me. Anybody who did, were made fun of because they were hanging out with someone as hideous as I was. That was my elementary life.

In junior high, I began to watch television shows on beauty and fashion and read fashion magazines while in line at the grocery store. From there, I tried to make the best out of what I had, which wasn't enough. Of course, as I grew up, I was finally given the choice to make my own clothing choices and was even given money during my birthdays so that I could buy my own things at my own discretion. I also lost weight, began wearing contacts (I'm so blind that the strength of my glasses my eyes appear very tiny) and learned what hairstyle looked good on me. It was in high school when I finally started making friends.

Sadly, by then, I was pretty much used to living the lonely life. I had also become very distant and I generally hated people because of their cruelty. I even acted like a *****towards guys who tried to flirt with me (yeah, I guess you could say I was an ugly duckling who become a beautiful swan?). Of course, there was one guy who swept me off my feet and seemed to be able to relate to me. *sighs* Still with him...hahah. In fact, guys today never believe me when I say I was the ugly child.

Could you say anti-social?

Yeah...

Today, I'm finally beginning to open up. In fact, I even act like a child and do things that children do. It's strange really. I'm pretty sure my subconscious is just trying to make up for my lost childhood. I'm still socially awkward but I'm working on it! :D

My only consolation was the fact almost all of the people who made me suffer so much during my young years are now fat, ugly and idiotic failures in life. Karma is a bitch.

Man....alot of people don't know what a real lone wolf is....

there are those that like to think they are lone wolfs but in reality they are the ones that are shutting themselves out of society, no offense to those that doesn't realize it but your the one who's doing it to yourself so that doesn't make you a lone wolf probably just emo.

A Lone wolf/loner pretty much is the one that gets shut out from everyone or close to it, for example your classmates forget who you are, your friends forget who you are, when you talk in the group it suddenly gets quiet and becomes and awkward moment, when you try your best to make friend on the internet and no one bothers or just forgets about you. That's what a lone wolf is, someone who gets cast aside.

Yes im mostly talking about myself, do I seek attention? yes ill say it...I hate it when people forget about me or don't include in something they like to do it sucks. The worst part is sometimes people even use you what even more sad about is that, sometimes you already know that your being used and yet for some reason you just stop caring and grab onto whatever tiny bit of good thing that comes out of that.

For those that are saying that they don't care about being alone and whatever....BULL SH********** no one wants to be alone no matter what that's what i've learn through all out being ignored in school being forgotten by friends

All in all Yeah I can definitely say im a lone wolf

I think I am. There are just times I prefer to sit alone, drawing or doing something I feel like... But maybe I'm not a true lonely wolf. I get lonely too fast ^ ^;

Pretty much, yeah. XD My social skills aren't the best so I'm usually ostracised when I'm around groups of people... It used to really bug me & I was pretty desperate to make friends, but now I just couldn't care less. =P

I totally related to that. *sighs* I eventually stopped caring that people were using me until they found someone else better to hang out with. I resented it for a while but then I just got used to it--it was just a part of my life. -__-

I like to be alone. People annoy the crap out of me and my boyfriend sometimes annoys the hell out of me too. While I can't say that I want to be alone ALL of the time, you'd be surprised at how much alone time I need each week (heck, each day). We had similar lives but we both turned out very differently. :P I also don't like attention and I get a little nervous and red when I do get it. I don't like it.

Lone Wolf... Well it depends.. I prefer to work under my projects alone, but this is probably because I have that stupid obsession which forces me to understand everything I have in my projects (programming mostly.. IT and stuff...)... and somehow other people don't understand my code :/ But in other hand I really like going on parties, dances, etc. just to abreact my day to day stresses.... hmm.. loneliness doesn't bother me much.... just I like to have someone to talk.. or feel someone presence, and it is enough for me :)

Lol I know exactly what you mean....I've gotten use to being alone so much that I sometimes get nervous whenever im around a crowed of people or even in a group of 8 or more...

wish time can slow down a bit when your having a good time with people you care about...

I am personally very separated from society, for the most part. I can hold a conversation with guests, acquaintances or any ordinary passerby but quickly become small-talky and uninterested. This doesn't stem so much from arrogance as my content in solitude.

Proxima: good post. You're certainly not alone insofar as what you detailed.

I'm a loner when it comes to real life. It seems I only lost contact to friends recently instead of making new ones. I'm alone at home most of my time. And I don't see a problem with that. On the other hand I neeeed my online acquaintances like on MSN, if no1 is there, and I can't talk to any1 it makes me really upset. @@ So I think I'm not 100% lone wolf and still depend on the ability to talk to some1. Being on a lonely Island for more than 1 year would probably kill me.
