Answer 1

they only want super heros for partners.

Answer 2

It could be hard wiring in the brain for the most extreme cases.
Anthropologists/biologists would qualify homo sapiens as social animals, so to be a true loner, I think you would have to born with some part of human nature damaged or non-existent. In this case a person may not want any social relationships.

For less than a total loner, social training/skills could have been poorly formed from an early age. As a person comes into adulthood without many social skills, feeling uncomfortable forming friendships, it becomes more and more difficult to acquire those same skills. They fall further and further behind the social maturity of their peers. They don't fit in with younger/less mature people because of their age and age-related circumstances. In this case a person may very well want to have friends/relationships but finds it too difficult or doesn't know where to start.



If you're talking about being 'alone' in not having a mate, that can be the same as above or simple choice. The longer one lives without a mate, the more one gets used to having your living space and your life lived without consideration of a partner's concerns/needs/desires. (Perhaps a more 'selfish' lifestyle.)

Peace

Answer 3

Experience of bad relationships mainly. Although some people are just better suited to living alone and want to be able to do what they want in life without constantly having to consult someone else or compromising. Actually, people who are contented with themselves are frequently happy to live alone - this doesn't make them saddos. We are not all programmed to crave the company of other human beings all the time, contrary to popular belief.

Answer 4

Some people aren't built for the things that come through relationships like kids, morgage etc. It's not a problem.
I did it for a few years but then met someone realy special who changed my outlook on what really matters.
My brother still lives in a solely himself way of life, he is happy and goes out with girls - he just makes sure that hey know that he isn't the family kind of man.

Answer 5

Do you mean alone ,without a partner
or all alone with no one at all
if it`s without a partner i think some people might be happier that way ,like me for example I was in a relationship for quite a few years ,but after that ended i found out it suited me better by my self (i`m a lot happier this way )i like to please myself about where i go and what i do and i`m non too good at give and take
if you mean like a hermit i think thats a very scary way to be maybe someone who has been someway traumatized in life

Answer 6

All things in human heart concerning human affairs, good or bad, pleasant or hurtful, happy or sad, keep people tied up in human togetherness; wherever people might go they come back to live with people, people may change but need for togetherness would not go away. The only things that can make people completely intolerant of the presence of others, and resigned to a life of seclusion or total isolation has to be something of most personal in nature, something stronger than all human bonds and lasting beyond the bounds of all that could be for a person in life. This must be a person badly in love with himself, or herself for that matter. It would then most certainly be a self-love gone astronomical both in intensity and in magnitude.

Answer 7

Some people (me included) cannot stand the continual inane chatter. As a result I only have a few friends left. But no matter, ever since I was young I knew I'd rather be alone than in bad company.

Answer 8

An excessively big ego combined with making personal pleasure/convenience the only value in life.
A relationship - not just a romantic one - means responsibility, compromise, a willingness and and ability to give.
Sometimes broken heart does take this way from you.
Some people, however, never ever had it.

Answer 9

I don't think anyone truly wants to be alone, I think it is just an easier way to deal with hurt and/or the fear of being hurt by someone. It is more of a defensive mechanism rather than a choice. Yes people make choices to be alone without a mate but they are not alone in the sense of never being around anyone, they seek other means of human contact; friends, family, co-workers, etc. Human can actually die of loneliness.

Answer 10

A Broken heart

Answer 11

Not feeling the need to conform to social demands. Being choosy. Enjoying their own company. Being defensive because they have been hurt so much. Having no friends and no social life because of their caring responsibilities and then discovering that they have no confidence and that it is too late. All of the above.
