I do have friends, but I sometimes think of myself as a loner because I'd rather think and be be myself than be around people all the time. It saps away my energy. One of my friends is trying to introduce me to all her friends because she says I hide from people and must be lonely. Truth it, i'm not. I'm happy with being alone. Kids in my class talk about loners like it's a bad thing. Why?

This is something society always pushes on people. It's a way for people to feel superior over others. People in relationships or marriages think they are smarter than single people. They aren't.

I don't think you're a loner, just an introvert. Some people spend more time alone then they want to because they haven't aquired social skills- then that is a problem. If you're happy with the friends you have and the amount of time you spend with them, then you don't have a problem. Try to explain how you feel to your friend in a nice way because she's trying to help, but very social people have a hard time understanding how someone could enjoy solitary activities. People are just different, and you sound like you know yourself pretty well.

hello, sometime being a loner is not a matter of complete choice. some people are forced to be loners because the people around them are not willing to accept them into their peer group. yeah people will refer to loners as inferior because they think we are please with the solitary space that we have formed around us. the truth is some loners choose to be alone because they have find that having to deal with too many people all the time because too much of a burden for them. other like i said are forced to be loners because they do seem to fit into the usual social groups. I agree lot with the person at the very top who posted his answer.

I dont think that they are thought of as inferior, rather as aloof or unapproachable. I actually enjoy my time alone. Gives me a chance to recharge from all of the demands of my daily life.

its not a bad thing. its not the norm either. but its cool to be different as long as your cool with it. i think loners are thinkers. they dont care about the petty things the groups are concerned with. most people cant handle being alone and think if someone chooses to be, then there must be something wrong with them.

I'm a loner, and it sucks, I hate going through everyday repeating the same tasks over and over and having no human contact, plus you're not a loner cause you have the option of spending time with others if you wanted, so you're not gona have all the negative feelings, unlike me who is stuck alone all the time. So I guess loners are inferior cause they are alone and lack communication skills, which leads to a very mundain life....
