I’m a loner. The only person I meet is my boyfriend. I hardly meet my friends. We hardly chat either. I just about invited them out for my birthday. I was surprised they came with their busy lives. I mostly eat out on my own and go to galleries and things on my own.
I’m a loner, alone 99% of the time and have been for years

I am loner too. I am nothing and when am something I am a musician in a bedroom…
Another lone wolf here. I’ve completely isolated myself from family, which kind of sucks but I can’t stand all of the “How ya been?” questions and interrogation at family gatherings. I don’t have any friends…

Aye, they don’t seem to understand that it is very possible to stay all day at home doing nothing…
I’ve only recently began having symptoms of sz (I’m 25), so all of my family knows me as a normie. This makes it even more of a drag to explain WHY I stay at home all day doing nothing with no job. Oh well…

i guess because i am usualy alone
I spend most of my time alone. I am starting to appreciate my alone time because as much as I really do enjoy seeing other people, I find it harder socialize as I get older. It just takes up so much energy, especially with this MI. So yes, I am a loner.
Hermit, loner and … loser…
I am a loner by circumstance.
I would love to be with people but somehow I find myself alone almost all the time.
I do see a lot of people every day when I do part of my excercises( part I do without seeing others),
but really everyone minds his own business and I don’t really interact with them.
I guess I should try to make friends, it is difficult as I am constantly plagued by intrusive thoughts and have very few
good thoughts.
I am happy however that I am able to spot intrusive thoughts and minimize their influence on me.
Thus my control of my intrusive thoughts is much better than that of most of the population,both healthy and schizophrenic.
I don’t have positive thoughts due to schizophrenia but at least I control intrusive thoughts,
and that already solves suicide, depression and stuff like that.
It also means that I will always behave like a reasonable person and it’s completely safe to be in my company.
It doesn’t make me high functioning but it’s a step forward.
I try to be social with family but my friends are in a faraway town and I seem to most of the time be alone. I have my girlfriend to keep me company, and also the comfort of two dogs. that will have to be enough I guess.
I’m very extroverted and social.
I’m a loner too but not a hermit as I don’t live alone. I have the company of my husband all day and have a bird and fish as well. But I live to spend large parts of the day by myself reading or painting or writing. I am comfortable with my own company and struggle to socialise at functions don’t like functions much. I’m an introvert.
