Why are you a loner?

Question

yeah why? have you always been a loner? are you emotionally/intelectually stable?

Answer 1

I'm both emotionally and intellectually stable but I'm also a loner. I work 50-60 hours a week with the general public and I get very annoyed by the ignorant and rude behavior that I witness. I get tired of listening to all the yammering and I like to be by myself, still and quiet. Most people don't have anything interesting to say but they keep talking.

Answer 2

A loner is a label for a person who shuns human interaction for a variety of reasons. These reasons can range from a lack of certain social skills (such as people with Asperger's Syndrome) or for a desire to be with oneself. A common psychological term for this is someone who is introverted.

It is usually used with a negative connotation in the belief that humans are social creatures and those that do not participate are different, though in some cases there is a certain romanticism in the idea of the Loner

Answer 3

i'm not a loner all the time, i am just very moody and when i feel it coming on i want to be alone and i will stay at home or whatever for a few days without answering the phone or anything. it's my time to "regroup" or "recharge." i don't know why.....i haven't always been this way. truthfully it started shortly after i had my first child!! when i want to be alone, and someone stops by i feel like i have to start all over. it's wierd. but yes i am stable, i have good friends and a full life. i just need my down time and that means being alone.

Answer 4

I am a loner by nature. I've always prefered to have 1-2 good friends to having several casual friends. I am more stable and logical than most, because I spend more time in my mind trying to understand the world around me than in casual chit-chat with others.

I once read that extroverts draw energy from other people and that introverts are drained of energy from other people. I just "feel" better when I spend most of my time alone.

Answer 5

...I like to be alone at times, although I am in a marriage and have social interactions. My quiet time allows me to think and write...creative expression. Yes I am emotionally stable. I don't have those dark emotional spells that the "stereotypical" loner has.

Answer 6

Even if I like to have some time for myself, I am the complete opposite of a loner.

Answer 7

People tend to be a loner because of insecurities and past pain .They shield themselves and hide from social contact for protection

Answer 8

I am forced to be one........I'm an only child and by nature pretty demanding so I have a hard time making relationships work. All my friends have left my city and gone away to greener pastures now that we have finished university.....and I can't fault them for that seeing that I live in a notoriously racist and segregated place, and for that reason find it difficult to make any more friends.

Answer 9

Yup - going to take that test you gave the address for - later - may come back and edit this answer, afterwards. . .
After reading the first 2 answers, sounds like you don't need another 'definition' - those pretty well cover it, I think - it's now just time for others to give personal information on this topic.

Answer 10

i think i was a loner since i was born pretty much and it just got worse over the years. i'll go out places and be ok, but to talk to people is somethin i can't handle really. i stay to myself cuz people are shitty and they will **** all over you....it takes a couple years for me to be comfortable with someone.
