Why Being a Loner Isn't So Bad

[Curly_Annie]

Listening to other peoples problems can be very stressful, especially gossiping. Most of their issues aren't even that important sometimes. Being alone is better than having two-faced and being around people I do not enjoy being around. I do not see how the women on the reality shows put up with all that negative energy.

There isn't a problem with being alone. You don't have to be in a certain clique or have lots of friends. Enjoying time alone is very peaceful.

The friends you do have are your closest friends. You don't befriend everyone;although, you don't think all people are bad.

Being a loner does not mean you dislike everyone, you just like being alone or take your friendships seriously. Either way only you can be you, so embrace it.

On the whole, I agree. Being a loner when you have a few close friends isn't bad. However, in freshman year at high school I was completely silent and knew no hardly anyone. Grew out of that, but still. Safe to say I was a loner. I didn't dislike people, but I just didn't talk.
That is not fun, especially sitting at a lunch table alone. It is so awkward when some random senior comes over and asks when you want to sit with them out of pity. I had my close friend or two, but didn't connect with other people because I took friendships probably too seriously.

Thanks for the take though.

I agree...
But I do have trouble with befriending new people - as in coworkers and people I should have to befriend...
So I guess that's a bad thing.

This was obviously written by someone who hasn't ever been actually alone. You're not alone. You simply choose to not get involved with the idiots that you know but that's not alone. Alone is when you don't even have annoying people to ignore. Alone is when you literally have NO ONE. If you were to truly alone, then you would NEVER think that it's ''not so bad.'' It's fucking painful is what it is. I don't even know of any thing worse than loneness.

Sorry for the rant.

Being a loner on purpose, not so bad.
Being forced to be a loner, do not try at home.

I totally agree I am a loner myself by choice and I am happy.

I'm a loner and I like it. I do have some friends I can talk to but I don't hang out with them.
