How do loners feel so?

Post Reply New Topic

One would think getting used to it over time is what happens, although people may claim to be born so (or causation may be different for everyone), but the more weeks, months, years I spend alone seem to make me ever more desperate...

I've started getting used to it, as long as I don't see or hear other real people at all.

Don't you have family gatherings or something like that, Mootoo?
How are you planning to spend Christmas and New Year's?
Going somewhere?

I used to be a loner. I never felt like I wanted other people because I thought I'm not made to be with others. I didn't understand others and it confused me so I'd rather only talk when I wanted to ask a question or something.

Mind you if you are not around others you cannot have anyone to bounce your ideas off of. You can start to think strangely.

Now I am not a loner but I'm still introverted. I could survive and be happy with nobody though.

The fact that you feel desperate is actually good and normal, unlike my response of I'm supposed to be this way.

I've been a loner all my life. My parents didn't understand my Aspergers & were critical of my quirks & I was also bullied alot as a kid due to my Aspergers & other disabilities so that may have something to do with it. I just wanted to be left alone so I could do my own thing. I don't really feel like that nowadays thou. I live with my girlfriend & I wouldn't mind having a friend to hang out with but I still like doing my own thing or our stuff(referring to me & my girlfriend).

I don't know if I'm a loner exactly, but I'm definitely introverted. Sometimes I get desperate to be alone! When I was in my twenties I spent plenty of time alone and I loved it. But I also felt the need to spend some time with humans. Like, oh, a couple hours every few days or something. I would rather be by myself than out with people. However, if I'm alone too long, I start listening to the silence, depression takes over and I want to disappear. But funny how I still won't reach out to humans. They can be quite disturbing. I live with my boyfriend and my need to be alone is seriously disrupted. I am trying to adapt to this change.
