From my observation, some people are loners, they rather be alone, than trying to mingle into a crowd of people. Probably they are not really good at socializing. I, myself too; I am not good at socializing with people, or kissing butts. I rather be myself, stay in a quiet corner to enjoy the rest of my day. Are you a loner too?

Yes I am! but it doesn't mean that I'm not good in socializing people. Being alone sometimes is my only way to think positively and to take rest a while.

Yep, I am a definite loner. I get annoyed with other people's immature remarks and swearing all the time. I'm not good at socializing myself, I get quiet and a bit shy when just out of the blue people talk to me. Sometimes I do feel awkward being the only one without any friends during classes and that. xP

When I was younger I would have described myself as a loner. I was very shy and I spent a lot of time alone. My books were my best friends back then, and I spent most of the time by myself. I wasn't good at socializing, and I usually chose to stay at home instead of spending time with my classmates. Today I am still shy, but I have more friends and I spend more time with other people. I wouldn't call myself a loner anymore. I like to go out with my friends and I like to spend time with other people, but I still don't like big groups of people.

I'm a loner pretty much. I like to be around people ,most of the time,when I'm at work. When I'm not at wrok I like to be alone. I hate socializing with people,also! I'm not on to kiss butt either! I like to be by myself when I don't have to be around people!

I'm glad I'm not alone on this one since I'm a loner too. Being alone is like an art to me - it's beautiful! On the other hand, extroverts may feel a bit intimidated with loners. The most typical impression that loners get from them is that we're arrogant. I personally think it's not true. Would you agree?

actually i am a loner too,but i am not for lacking of socializing,you know i am a outgoing person,i am good at communicating with others,but i would rather be myself,as a loner you needn't to wait for doing something and it also has a bit of troubles,which let you feel boring. from another aspect to say,if you are alone,maybe there are something you cannot do perfect without other's help.am i right?

Growing up, I was a loner, lost in books! But once I grew up and out of school, I became somewhat of a social butterfly. I don't have any problems in social situations, I like having a good time. Being a working mom, with two daughters, I would love to have some quiet time but I don't see that happening for many years.

yes I'm a loner too. I give more effort to be with people than just being with myself. All the adjustments when your with a crowd, it tires me. Though I know that no man is an island, I would still rather to be alone and don't have to deal with them.

I myself is a loner too. I don't know why sometimes I want to be on my own. I have a few friends and I don't want to be in the crowd. I'm not good in socializing in pretending that I like the person. If I don't want a person I'm not trying to be close to him or her. Sometimes I think I need to broaden my horizon and explore everything around me.

I am good at socializing with people that I know. When it comes to socializing with people I have no idea I like to be alone. Its the only way I feel relaxed and come. I know a couple loners myself. Most of them don't like to interact with people at all. They are always grumpy and depressed for some very odd reason. They also take things very seriously.

Hello Clorissa, I will have to say that I'm a loner. I have no problem hanging out by myself, in fact i tend to have a very good time, I don't have to worry about aurguments, hurting my own feelings, agreeing with anyone, turning on myself and all of the other things that envolve dealing with other people, no don't get me wrong I love to socialize, but when it comes to hanging out after socializing, I will have to say being by myself is best. Happy My Lotting!

sometimes we just like peace and quite. it does not necessarily mean you are a loner. you have your moments to socialize and sometimes you just want to be by yourself. i dont think there is nothing wrong with having personal quality time with yourself, but sometimes we do need to be out there and socilaise as networking is a very good way of learning and achieving new things. believe me its is. anyway have fun guys and

I think I am a loner. I like being alone, I dont mingle with a lot of people. I dont even know how to socialize. I pity my self sometimes coz i dont know how to carry a conversation. I grow up in a house with less people so I didnt learn to socialize. But Im still glad that I have lots of friends even Im a shy type of person. I still believe that I'm fun to be with if im with my true friends. But most of the time I'm always alone.

Well let's just say I spend most of the time alone since I'm naturally an introvert person. But for me, that doesn't mean I'm excused in socializing with other people. Although I really hate parties, being around the crowd, as much as possible I try to be at ease with people not really to impress them, but to practice getting along with other people since I'm also not good at it and I know I would have the need to be confident being around with the crowd. Probably the reason why is that so because ever since I was young I used to be over-protected by my relatives. I don't even know the dating rules or even mingling with guys and believe it or not I just had one steady boyfriend in my entire life because my uncles, aunts and my mom would approve of the guys who would court me. But now that I'm about to graduate I know I should develop more my personality and I believe that means getting along with others well :-)

Some times I like to be by my self, I get tired of hearing about other peoples troubles. It seams like every time you get around other people thats all they can talk about is what they are going though, sometimes I just need a break.

we have been a loner from being born. Loner is wherever we lived,though we have family,friends. then, it still a questioon in nature. Not to count on getting rid of lone deeply.

Oh yes I am a loner. Definetely it depends of my mood as well but most of the time I prefer to stand alone on my own. It is because it is hard for me to find people who have the same level of understanding life and same interest at the time. Life if is a bit lack of justice in this matter because most of people seek for fun and quick relationship without paying attention to the details of indyviduals nature. I guess it's not their fault. It is a way of living. I am not here to judge if it's good or bad. I simply don't follow everyone.

Sometimes i'm a loner,depend on my mood.. I love shopping by myself though since it give me time to really canvasss and get what i really want, without trying to drag somebody. sometimes it maybe due to insecurity, if I'm unsure of the place I rather go about it alone since i don't want to hassle anybody else
