fake Loners

Post Reply New Topic

I would consider having over 25 sexual partners (at once?), to be an indication that this person is really quite lonely and so is letting herself be used by men in the hope it will help quench her thirst for love.

Perhaps they use the term to describe their feelings of loneliness despite the fact that they have friends or a significant other. It may not make them the dictionary definition of a loner, but it's still possible to feel lonely when you're surrounded by people who care.

This is common. And if a woman really only wants to be used, it's not that hard to find someone wiling regardless of how awkward she may or may not be.

Loner is a strange term.

I like to be alone by choice. I do have a small number of friends however most of my time I spend on my own by choice. It is all relative though.

I find it odd people having a problem with people calling themselves loners. Why would you want the label anyway?

If loner are people that by their nature need and want to spend time alone. Perhaps those that are not doing so by choice can't be loners. Perhaps that is wrong, but these people are in conflict with themselves. What other people call themselves is the least of their worries.

I consider myself quite a loner though I have a husband, kids and one close female friend. It's not like I'm out there telling everyone I'm a loner, it's just a feeling I have inside. Isn't there a saying about how you can still be lonely in a crowd? Well I think it's the same kind of thing.

I have never heard of a "Fake loner" before or at least I have never come across them. What I would call someone like that would be a hippocrate.

Feeling alone and being alone can be completely separate. It is possible that someone feels they are more alone than they actually are. It is also possible for a person to feel more or less alone depending on recent events and mood. I think most (if not all) of us are familiar with the concept of having a bad day.
My point is that we should avoid judging. As human beings, there is often more to a situation than we perceive.
