Comment on In Defense of Being a Loner by happycat13
https://nanis.wordpress.com/2008/12/11/in-defense-of-being-a-loner/#comment-1056
Sat, 15 Apr 2017 15:11:11 +0000https://nanis.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-1056Thank you for this post as well as all the comments of kindred spirits. I LOVE being alone. The silence and the peace are worth so much more than the pressure to be in a group. There are so many articles about how people should socialize more. Quality conversation, yes. Small talk, not a fan. Plenty of space and respect for boundaries, awesome. Imposing, nosiness, dropping in unannounced, ARGGGH!

Wed, 07 Oct 2015 16:12:18 +0000https://nanis.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-968Your comment is so angry! I am not claiming to be anything but what I am ~ a person who prefers solitude. I like my own company, and enjoy being alone. I prefer aloneness to being in a group.
You have made some assumptions about my life that are not accurate, but I will not address them here.
Being a person who prefers to be alone does not necessarily equate to being “isolated”. And I was not “mooning over [my] “isolation””. I am HAPPY about my choices. I like being alone.
That’s all.

I really liked your answer. Loner means really alone. Apart from people you might have to work around if you still have to work, there is no network of supportive family and friends or spouse you live with. I have a similar experience to yours and its just left me with an inability to engage socially with any success at all. I’m glad you found some happiness.

Sun, 04 Oct 2015 10:42:14 +0000https://nanis.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-966Wait just a cotton pickin’ minute. With all respect, I’ve met “loners” like you. You’re not loners at all-you just like to think you are because I guess it sounds romantic or noble or something. You have a job where you’re surrounded by people you interact with all day. You’re MARRIED. “Don’t invite me to dinner when my husband is out of town”. “I have friends”. “I have family”. You’re just a person with a life full of happy relationships, a nice job and frankly, you’re almost never ALONE. When you happen to find yourself alone, which is obviously not that often and when you choose to be, you’ve got your activities going on. So that’s it-you’re not a loner by a long shot, sorry. I joined a group for people with social anxiety and shyness. Most fit the bill, but there were those few whose lives were full of supportive relationships and and spouses, and yet they liked the idea of mooning over their “isolation”. That’s just taking on a persona you really don’t have so you can get more attention.

No, you are not weird or anti-social. I totally understand how you feel: my home is my haven and I hate people dropping in – I feel like they are invading my privacy and I think it is rude (people should ring ahead first to see if it’s convenient!). Other people just don’t “get” it. When people walk past that line with me ie: you start chatting to someone and get to know them a little and then they decide it’s OK to drop in on you, I HAVE to distance myself from them as I just can’t stand them being ‘in my face’ to be brutally honest. I am married with a husband and 11 yo daughter and I class myself as a loner which until very recently, now embrace whole-heartedly. I find social gatherings draining – mentally exhausting – and I like my own company (apart from enjoying the company of my husband/daughter whom I love dearly). I go out to cafes on my own and I love every minute of it! I don’t want to spend hours chatting to other women and going out with them: I prefer my own company and I don’t want them to drop in – NEVER EVER!! I just want them to leave me alone and I relish my privacy and detest people knowing my “stuff”. I love, love, LOVE my life – even if other people don’t understand or think that I am weird – and I think I am at the point where I just don’t care what they think of me. I am not rude or obnoxious to people – I just like my own company! It is so refreshing to hear of others who feel exactly the same way 😀

Mac70graphics – Of all the posts here, I enjoyed yours the most. You make such a great case for the joys of solitude I’m a bit younger than you (56) and can only aspire to have such a wonderful next chapter. GO, LONERS!

Sat, 27 Jul 2013 23:20:04 +0000https://nanis.wordpress.com/?p=70#comment-414I am a loner. I have never been able to get along with people. I get sick of what I perceive as stupid comments and problems which I don’t wont to play out in this life. The world is constantly trying to stop us from facing loneness and being still with it, constantly. God help you if you didn’t do well in school and got that great job. God help you if you don’t know who is on the ‘top of the charts’ this week. I find I just wont to do my job and go home. But god help me, I am not allowed, people see you a mile away and do their very best to antagonize, tease etc. to get you to react to get you away from your stillness your love of being still or quiet and not absorbed by the external world people hate that!

Sat, 13 Jul 2013 03:09:18 +0000https://nanis.wordpress.com/?p=56#comment-412I can really relate to that, it’s such a lonely world when you feel you’re the only one who sees true reality – not the reality of common perception, watch people do their thing and in your mind you already know what their next steps are and what will happen and the harsh lessons and the pain and the years before they come to your understanding and by that time they’re damaged people. I’ve tried too but the world is too big for me but you give me hope that there are others. Peace xx
