Does Society suffer from 'Loner-Phobia'?

[gobsmacked3]

' You are always in your own little world.'

Made with bemusement in my childhood due to my joy of being alone

Looking back, I am certain if I grew up in this, the therapist age. I would have to listen to how wrong I am for behaviour that goes against the norm. All while being heavily medicated for my seeming inability to 'relate'.

Grossly misunderstood, victimised for being me

Years have passed, with judgements more biting, critiques more scurrilous

Making me question why Society struggles to accept Loners, to the point of being phobic about them

Should we apologise for a life choice?

Or, prostitute self by living a lie to be part of the flock?

Is a pretentious life more socially acceptable?

It would spare me of the constant labelling as being 'awkward', or 'antisocial', as well as the rumouring of a 'hidden perversity' or ' mental disorder.'

Why is it often preached that the essence of life is about honesty by being true to self?

But, subtle terms and conditions exist

With Society imposing all to be social beings needing company, acceptance, belonging and love.

Ignorance to diversity, with its irony and associated truth

Being, a loner embraces all this in its purest form

Finding it all in self, life on their watch

Seeking company out of choice, governed by sincerity, rather than desperate need

Why is society so adverse to such principled beings?

Thank you sir,
I'm an introvert, single and currently I'm having some disputes with my friends. I'm taking a break from social relationships and just focused on my career and evolving my abilities.
This take boosted my morale. :-)

It's odd I have always found solace in being alone. Some say I'm a bit weird.

if we unite how will we continue being loners?
