So, who else here is a loner?

[Psychology]

My father calls me today and we had a big discussion about why I never go out, have no friends, and how am anti-social. He also got angry because I said I didn't want to have children.

I enjoy my life, doing my own thing and living the way I want to. I love waking up everyday and there's silence. I like laying around and playing video games all Saturday or watching movies all night. They mean well, but my folks don't really understand.

Anyone else feel this way?

 

[23lebron23]

no sorry

 

[Yankeefan21325]

no.......

 

[villiageidiot]

I think I am!

I'm totally that way. I'm not a big fan of "going out". Why go to a bar (for example) and pay an unnecessary amount of money for drinks while I have to sit around a bunch of people I don't even know or like? That mentality doesn't make sense to me. I'd much rather sit at home, crack open a few beers and throw on some video games.

Yeah, same here. I drink a bottle Saturday night in the luxury of my apartment, why playing video games or watching a DVD. Perfect way to spend the weekend after 5 days of work.

I'm the same way. when you spend a lot of time alone you can learn a lot about yourself. but it's good to have a mix, it's not really good for people to be alone all the time and it makes it harder to be able to function among other people, which you will have to do at some point.

Sometimes.

I have gone through hours, days, weeks and even months of being antisocial.

Blah.

I prefer a mix like calpoon said. usually stay home and chill. If I do go out I go to a friends house and get completely shit faced. But I see where your coming from. Thats the way I was when I was single. I kinda miss it sometimes.

A friend of mine is totally the same as you. Enjoyed his own space and was fiercely protective of it.
He has recently turned 50 and now says that he regrets not having a long term relationship and definitely regrets not having kids.
All of a sudden he realises that its too late and he can't get the younger good looking ladys and all thats left are middleaged divorcees or women who have always been single (there is usually a reason for that). As for the going out socializing, well i'm with you. the novalty for that wore off a long time ago. Why not just socialize at home. Its a lot cheaper.

I've always considered myself a loner (probably more like a lone wolf). I have a small circle of friends that I hang out with but even when I'm out with them or in a crowd I sort of drift off by myself. I don't go the clubs or anything like that because I did some of that in high school and didn't get it. I have my own fun and sometimes that includes my friends and sometimes not. Personally I don't want any children and I've been saying this since I was a kid but I never say never because I might meet someone that I wouldn't mind having a family with.

 

[Vanilla Bear]

Yeah Im with you here. Im absolutely the same. If I want to talk to people I come here to FreeOnes and if I dont want to talk to someone I go offline and dont have to hear or see someone.
I dont have friends either. But I dont care. I like it that way.

 

[LBP 76]

I have lived with friends and with a woman romantically. But I prefer living alone and I have never really liked crowds. Or even small crowds. I prefer one-on-one.

But I don't want to have no friends or female companionship.

One great male friend and one great female friend/lover is all I need or really want.

My father calls me today and we had a big discussion about why I never go out, have no friends, and how am anti-social.

When I'm asked those questions I usually answer those with: It's too expensive, most people around here are stupid, and I don't like hanging around stupid people. :1orglaugh

Yet, you have 13,000 posts on FreeOnes.

 

[squallumz]

im not much for going out but im not a loner. i need someone in my life, always have. i mean, there have been periods where i was alone but i did that myself because of pure depression really. having someone not with me made things worse, made me feel terrible which is kind of the point of depression.

ive fought it, denied it, ignored it but i need someone there. my girl and i are the same in that fashion so we make a great team. we are also very picky with friends only keeping 1 real close one. we're content with just us and our kitties, we dont need to be out in the world to enjoy life.

Once you get past approx. your mid twenties . . . people suck ! Everything's a freaking favor !
Never ever pick up the phone on Saturday morning !!!
hone rings: 9AM

Me : "What ?" &

"Friend" : Hey, what's goin on ? I haven't seen you for a couple of weeks . . .

Me : What can I do for you today ? (1/2 kidding, In anticipation of being asked to help said friend [or friends ] hoist the 350 cubic inch Chevy 4 bolt main bearing engine block out of his Chevelle, assist in their "weekend warrior" - room addition, hardwood floor, masonry, electrical jobs and even help to help move their g/f into their home of which I only to agree to so long as friends' g/f brings along that one "Young, Dumb and Full of Cum" chic that I had my way with the last time I helped them.


Maybe I will begin answering the phone again on Sat AM. "cum" to think of it.
:nanner:

In all seriousness though, It's important to retain a small, tight circle of friends (the ones that you can count on one hand), the rest, keep as associates. They might come in handy for business dealings etc. ie - "networking" was the word I was looking for. Cull out the loosers who never pay back the favors that you provide and retain the ones who actually reciprocate.

Everybody wants something

Who are you talking to ? :laugh:

 

[meesterperfect]

Oh!
I was just telling myself the same thing.


Actually I am and have been both a loner and a guy with a pretty cool social life. Phases.
I am many times surrounded by humans yet feel very alone.


All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.
Just a Pepsi.
