I think their are two types of loners with different reasons why they differ from extroverts.
1. The first type of loners really desire to be more extroverted and sociable. But they are afraid that people won't accept them or that they won't perform well in social situations, so they choose isolation to cope with their anxiety and usually aren't very happy. Taken to the extreme, these people could be called avoidant personalities.
2. The second type of loner simply don't need as much attention and social contact as many other people do to feel whole. They genuinely prefer to have ample amounts of solitude and enjoy their own company. And they can be very happy and content the way they are. Taken to the extreme, these people could be called schizoid personalities.

Hmm...well, i would say a loner´s mind is alot more introverted. They prefer to observe and analyze things from a distance rather than get involved in any of the events themselves, as opposed to an extroverted mind. An person with an extroverted mind is automatically a more out-goin person, bcuz they like to be around people, to socialize, to voice their opinions, etc. This doenst mean that an introverted person doesnt have just as many opinions, or that they have to necesarrily be someone who only stays at home, it just means that, an introverted persons mind is more aware of his/her surroundings, and hence spends less time voicing his/her opinions, and more timing thinking..or pondering about things.

A loner finds comfort in self. The extrovert needs others in order to find comfort.

Certainly the way that they respond to crowds. I'm never effected by the atmosphere of large groups and tend to still behave like an individual (others tend to monitor and amend their behaviour to suit the group) which the rest find peculiar. To me, groups rehash all the same things where I seek novelty. Extroverts can sense what a group wants, and get a buzz from being an accepted part of a greater whole - they seem happy experiencing repetition.

A loner's mind can thrive on stimulus that doesn't involve many people and an extrovert's needs the people to appreciate the stimulus around him or her.

loners are usually introvert ones and this would differ them from the extroverts.
Usually, loners are passive and uneager to talk. They prefer to be alone and they isolate themselves. Not one of these characteristics describe an extrovert so loners are not extroverts...

some people are better off with a self task.
how ever the extroverted people can make more of them selves if they have others to hear what going on with them.
this is in most cases in any place and time.
this is common to see.
the people that's called
"loners" are some times the better off people.

then there are those who want to be alone..maybe they want to be alone because they're not on the same level...intellectually ,creatively and spiritually...and then there are the mental emotional problems...there are all kinds of reasons why people want to be alone...maybe they don't want your company...
