fake Loners

Post Reply New Topic

I get annoyed by fake Loners,people who claim to
be Loner,Yet they have friends,are in a relationship.

Yeah, this bothers me too.

I don't think I have ever heard of a fake loner before. I have seen people who don't seem want to make an effort for other people by saying that they don't connect with this person or that person but seem to cling to their special someone.

I don't understand why someone would do this, or, if it is because it is cool, I don't understand why it is cool or how it can be cool if 'real' loners are still in existence as loners in the generally accepted sense of the word.

I never thought of that before, but it is a bit perplexing if people refer to themselves as loners even though they have some sort of social life. I'm the real deal though. i really don't think its cool in any way.

Yea. Also, a lot of people who seem very normal to me claim to be "weird". Maybe I focus more on the things that make me different.

Webster's defines loner as: "a person who is often alone or who likes to be alone". I presume your definition might be different?

or people who claim to be loners because they have
no same sex friends but has tons of opposite sex friends.
I remember this one lady who said she was ''loner''
yet she had tons of male friends and sexual partners(over 25)

Perhaps they pretend to be lonely in the hope of you opening up to them what concerns your private life and giving them real proof that you really are a loner.

So they can use that evidence to make fun of you amongst their friends or nut you personally.

You sure you're not just being overly literal?

I agree with rocket. I think these people mean that they enjoy their own company and don't constantly need to have someone else around all the time.

this bothers me a lot too. They claim to be weird, but I think it is just because they want to stand out and be different- possibly just a cry for attention. I would love to be a "loner" like them with a few friends and a boyfriend.....

There are degrees of being lonely. And loneliness is relative.

I happen to be the type that is in fact lonely very often while having a wife. This is possible. Has nothing to do with cool, or anything like that.

Same sex companionship is very, very different and fills a totally separate need. For me at least.

You can't compare people's difficulties. It's not fair because we all have the bear our own burdens and until you've been where someone else is, in their own head (impossible) you will not know.

I have been called one before, but in those cases it certainly wasn't by choice...so I've never considered myself one.

Well I have a few people I could talk to...
But I'll still consider myself a loner because I'm alone most of the time.
Deal with it.

Fake loners? Really? I have met some people who put on the 'Lone Wolf' persona, but I have never met a fake loner. You're a loner or you're not a loner.
