WHAT DO YOU THINK of LONERS?

Question

When I was in High School (not too long ago) I was basically a loner. I did have a few friends, but I was always the quiet guy. During class I've always prefered to sit in the back. But even though I was usually quiet, I always got a lot of attention from people. I couldn't figure out why, but that's how it was. I wonder why some loners get a lot of attention, why is that? And how do you feel about loners?

Answer 1

that sucks that's how me and my friends are. loners aren't any better or worse than anyone else. I love life...well today sucked but that's a diff story lol
but anywho. there isn't anything bad about being a loner don't worry about it! just know that life is full of surprises and that good WILL come your way!

Answer 2

I think that loners are interesting people. In a way, Im drawn more to a person that's considered a loner rather than someone who hogs all the attention all the time. Any person that considers themself a loner probably has a good reason too. Like for example, when I was in high school, I had a lot of aquaintences but I didnt belong to any group or click. My reason for that was because I knew how certain people were & I figured "why even try to be friends with those who were jerks or snobs, I woul've just gotten hurt anyways right?"

Answer 3

Loners are often introverts. People who are not built to be outgoing and social. For introverts, a day of talking and meeting, like going to a party or a social gathering can be an extremely tiring excursion. These are people who feel most at home reading or doing something quiet by themselves. So, to answer your question, I think loners are introverts.

I think that most extroverts believe that being more social is better and funner and try to include/force people to do the same. What they don't understand is that introverts get the same joy just from reading and being quieter. They were probably just trying to include you into 'their ways', if you know what I mean.

i was just like you
was a loner most of my childhood and in school...i sit at the back.answer only when a question is put forward and smile only when i have to...i am just a quiet person and i also believe that if i have nothing good to say about anything or to anyone...i just don't and keep it to myself.but for some weird twillight zone reason ,i call it...others are just attracted to me.guys tries hard in having a conversation and the giggly girls wants to be friends and the teachers are just as bad!!!...they are just curious about us maybe?that they might find themselves attracted to some of us people...or wants to know what we are thinking and how we operate...god!the list could go on and on...and still have no idea why that it even though it has been close to 10 years since i left any kind of school...

go figure = )

we should not call ourselves as loners...i see myself as someone who is quiet and wants to be left alone...

i do not think that it is wrong

Answer 5

I don't try to classify people. I guess that some people might like loners are too arrogant for friends, weird, or something. Others might not understand how a person can prefer to sit alone at lunch. I respect loners more than some other people.

Answer 6

I was a loner back in my day too, but I didn't get attention at all. Well, not good attention anyways, I was bullied and I was always so sad. =( I had 3 close friends and everyone was rude to me.

I think it's the "loners" who always grow up to be somebodys. Keep your head up, friend.

Answer 7

I'm not only a loner, I'm a recluse but its not of my own choosing. I love being around people more than anything else but having OCD makes that impossible so I have to intentionally avoid people like the plague. Its a terrible life to live and it makes it impossible for me to have a job or relationship. So all loners aren't people who choose to be, sometimes they are forced into it and take it from me, its a miserable existence. I'm so reclusive that you and my cats are the only people I've communicated with the last 2 days. Suicide isn't far away and I look forward to it.

Answer 8

Well last time I was linning up at the bank because I was a loner and I had nothing to do and then when the line was over they asked if I needed anything and then I left and when to another line. I like long lines, traffic, and waiting for mail. But then I was eating cheese without a spoon and then I vomit and I saw a man named tix and he was my new friend. Later my dog ate him. My dog is the name of my pet ants. It was a good day.

Answer 9

I noticed, in general, that guys who were loners got a lot more attention than girls who were loners. I'm not sure why that is. But anyway, I don't mind loners. I think most of them are nice. ^_^

Answer 10

I think it takes all types to make a world. For some reason in the US "loners" have gotten a bad rap, which I believe is undeserved. Perhaps people paid attention to you because they liked you--you think? Have a good evening.
