I'm a loner but it's not bad

Anyone else enjoy being a loner.

What do you find are the perks of being a loner?

I feel no anxiety socially because I don’t need to socialise.

It’s freeing.

I need a lot of me time. Because I’m an introvert.

But I went for lunch in a café today with my mom and enjoyed the quality time.

I enjoy the silence of being a loner.

It’s calming.

I am a loner but I don’t care for it much. Maybe someday I’ll get used to it. That’s why I have my dog, I’d be less calm and content if I didn’t. It’s just me and her today, unless my mother stops in to visit.

I am alone but also not… my voices are constant.
Yeah but I’ve been a loner for 11 years.

Before onset I socialized a lot. Had girlfriends. So I don’t know if I should identify.

I prefer being by myself most of the time. Hubby who i love and care about is there for me. I dont see anyone else hardly ever, so its just me and him.

I’d like to have my own apartment and never go outside but I can’t for various reasons. I see my dad every day because I live with him and I usually see my stepmom every day too since I live with her as well.

Hey Zoe! I’m a loner. I had a chance to have friends and shooed them away. It makes me sad. Maybe I’ll get another chance before I tear myself apart.

My family thinks I’m great at being alone but I just manage to scrape by. Nobody worries about me and I feel neglected. It has gotten easier over time but it’s still traumatic. I’m a ship without a rudder sometimes.

Maybe it was necessary to be alone to get some sense of self and also to make friends with myself
