Im more of a loner, Think People are hard to understand. But i do meet People every day, and have friends.
But when growing up i was kinda unsocial, and at some points didnt have friends.

I’m a loner. I blame my dad for isolating me when I was younger but I forgive him.

I’m a loner because of stigma. People don’t like me because of my mental illness. I’d like to be social but I have no choice.

Prior to my diagnosis at the age of 45 I was a very sociable outgoing person with a bubbly personality. Now I am a loner and only socialise with my family due to anxiety. I also feel as though everyone can tell I have schizophrenia. I long to be social again though.

Sometimes, I guess. I’m an introvert. I sometimes wish I wasn’t because emotional intelligence is important for success. I wish I had a girlfriend and more friends.
I do spend a lot of time alone.
But I talk to a lot of friends on social media and through text messages.
Sometimes I do miss human companionship though. Most of my friends I met when I was in the military though, so we’re all spread far apart.

I am an introvert and a loner. I have friends, but we do not meet on a regular basis. My family are all extroverts and - as extroverts - they can be quite overwhelming at times. But, they know I’m happy being alone.
I hate being the centre of attention. It makes me extremely uncomfortable. I like being anonymous. In that way I don’t come into contact with other human beings very much. I find it much easier to “chat” here.

I’m both, social at the core but stay by myself often due to a history of social anxiety.

When younger i was always on the go, once i quit drinking, I started to isolate and the last 30+ years been alone 99% of the time, not healthy, but to late to change now
I feel a lot better when I’m social, and I try to see friends as often as possible. I work alone and do online schooling so I am a bit desperate for interaction. This website helps.

I Think its a lot of pressure to be social and have friends and go to parties and so on. But that isnt for everyone.

It’s never too late. My grandmother was agoraphobic and alcoholic most of her life. In her last 4 years she got better and made friends by joining her local newcomers club. I’m glad she was happy towards the end of her life.

I am an introvert and prefer to keep to myself. I live with my parents and see them every day but no one else. I have a friend i meet for lunch like once a month but he understands i don’t go out much so that is cool. The only exception is when i start getting a little manic. Then i become very outgoing.
I’m a sociable loner 
I spend the vast majority of my time alone or just with my boyfriend, but put me in a social situation and I’ll talk to just about anyone, if I’m in the mood. I seem to switch automatically into full on comedian mode when I’m in company.

This done for my ASD assessment by my sister sums things up-
Tim was not confident in engaging with people he did not know. This combined with his physical awkwardness meant he was never as I recall very social at all. I also think that Tim had a difficult time in ‘reading’ the emotions or feelings or reactions other people outside of the immediate family. He had no close friends in childhood or his teenage years that I am aware of.
When he was home from boarding school Tim again preferred to spend much of his time alone.As Tim grew to his teenage years he became more socially awkward and reclusive.
