Let me tell you this : If you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you,

it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend

into the world before , and people continue to disappoint them.

I'll give the answer later today if no one gets it. Pam

You ask if I agree.

I’m a loner because I view the world different. People don’t disappoint me as much as confirm my hypothesis.

I’m a loner because it exhausts me to interact. I can explain myself but I can’t help someone understand.

I’m a loner because I live in grace and limitlessness. Unless you live here you can’t understand.

I’m a loner because I’ve seen so-called death. My priorities can’t be yours.

I'm a loner because I'm tired of drama. I simply want to exist on my terms surrounded by the people and things I enjoy. I guess in some situations I don't play well with others. But that is okay because many of them don't play well either.

In my experience some people hate being alone but some love it especially if they have autism / aspergers

Any illness seems to set us apart and we experience it alone.

I'm a loner because of continuous disappointments with people i really thought i could trust ruined my life, most of those people were so-called family members. I'm sorry if this sounds bad, but i don't sugar-coat anything. There's alot of evil in the world, and alot of good too. But i believe that evil is definitely oitweighing the good, (that's just my opinion). I'm a loner because I've been done wrong or mistreated too many times throughout my existence by others to finally realize that the Less you depend on others for anything, the better off you are. I'm not an angry person at all because of everything that has happened to me, I'm just that much more wiser.

Unfortunately, I think you are right. My experience has been similar . I don't think I am bitter, but I am defiantly cautious.

Some people like being alone. Sometimes I like being alone.

Here another; same question: "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

Unless you have been alone by chance and not by choice, you might not know hew hard that can be. I am also a solitary person within limits. Loneliness is the largest concern people have these days. As to loving and losing , I think some would be better off never having loved at all if they have fallen for a person who turns out to be toxic. Read some more posts on site, it's all here. Pam

Most of the people with depression don't want to worry about small things. When your friends start playing games for even small things such as paying bill in a restaurant or even at McDonald, you feel not worth having such friends. It just bothers you lot about their attitude and priorities. So staying as loner will never disappoint me.
