Are you a loner?

Post Reply New Topic

I am a loner most of the time, but I do hang out with a few good friends whenever they're free from school and work.

Making and maintaining friendships with many people from school and work have been the biggest challenges for me since high school. It's mainly due to their failure or reluctance to communicate with me thru email, facebook and cell phones.

Yes. Even back when I was in school I had a teacher write on a report about me "She is a loner" in large capital letters and underlined it multiple times.

Yes im a loner. I've tried many times to 'put myself out there' but it just dosent work! So I gave up trying to befriend NTs to save myself the disapointment. Anyway, im looking for friends that are like me so if you want to chat some im here

Not by choice....

Sometimes it'd be really nice if I weren't. But... I just don't want to do what most other people want to do.

Yes i am ! !!

I used to be at high school, between the ages of 11 and 14. All of my teenage cousins started getting friends of their own and so didn't hang out with me so much any more, and I didn't have any friends otherwise. I remember when I was 13 I got a mobile phone (because I seemed to be the only one without one). I didn't quite know how to use it, all I did was play games on it. I never knew how to send or receive a message because nobody ever wanted my number, only relatives. When I took it to school, all the girls in the class wanted to have a look at my mobile phone, but nobody bothered to ask for my number.

I felt so miserable when I was between the ages of 11 and 14 because everybody around me had friends, and I got criticised so badly. I used to walk to school with my cousin, but he always had a friend tagging along. If I tried to hang out with the other girls in my class at recess times, they either just ignored me or made me go away. So I ended up just walking around on my own at lunch. Then one of my other cousins came upto me and said, ''what are you doing?'' and I said, ''I'm spying on teachers'', and she said, ''why? You should be with your friends!'' And she turned around and went back to join her crowd of friends. I stood there and realised how sad I was running around the school spying on teachers ON MY OWN. I never chose to be on my own. It's just that I was so rejected by other girls that I didn't know where else to turn except do little tasks to take my mind off of it all. I didn't want to just tag along behind my cousins and their groups of friends. I wanted friends of my own. Luckily by year 10 I managed to find some friends of my own, which got my confidence up. They were from my class, but they were still in the same grade, and we hung out together. I bet that showed everybody!

loner.

have tried most of my life, but haven't any energy left to socialize anymore. i was never good at it. always in the background. the loner.

i would love to have a partner to share interests and life with. it would suffice. no need for anything else.

I like loneliness. It is just unfortunate that i am interesting to other people.
Most recent example; a few weeks ago, a new girl started talk to me for the first time in school, when i politely asked her to Go To Hell. In latin. I am a friend of hers now. the heck, is latin the language of love now?

I usually like to be around people at times but i really just like to stay by myself. i get anxious alot around people its really hard for me.

Earlier i was obssessed with making friends. I was quite scared to be alone.
I remember chasing a group of girls during my college time...just in the hope that they would include me in their group.
I kept on chasing people on facebook, at workplace, at social get together or college just in the hope that i wont be left alone.
But unfortunately i was always left alone........isolated

Now i stopped at cat and rat race and most of the time im alone.
just reading, surfing net or shopping.

I have got a part time job but there are no friends at workplace also
im quite reserved, scared and keep to myself.
others have added each other on facebook etc.
but i have not added any of my work colleague on facebook.

i dont think i have choosen the situation...but rather i was brought up very strictly
and not allowed any freedom to mix up neither have social circle.
i ended being a socially awkward person.

i dig it.
