| Leader of a pack, though my pack is spread out between three continents right now. X_X Regardless, we're all pretty close and talk almost every day. I'm kind of a loner, but I do well with one or two people. |
 |
| Yes, I'm a loner. I prefer not to associate myself with other humans outside of the realm of the interwebz. Hell, I don't even go outside anymore. |
| Hell no. I wouldn't be able to survive by myself. I love people. All people. Though there are exceptions. Whenever I feel down for some reason I have to talk to someone. Always. Some alone time helps every once in a while but after some time I have to spend time with others. My friends are the only thing that keeps me sane. Also, I could never live in a small town. Or a village...omg. I need lots of people around me. |

Its better to have burned out than to have never really shined... |
| Unn I don't know if I'd call myself a loner...I just like to be alone most of the time and don't like talking much. That's why I'm mostly always on the computer chatting with friends, even though I know em in rl....maybe I'm a loner then? O.o lol. |
| Well,I have friends.But most of them doesn't even know what anime is. >.> So I don't realy have anyone from my friends that I can share my anime interests with.One of reason I joined MAL! ^_^ |
rTz said: Yes. At first because I couldn't help it, and then once I could help it, I realized that I prefer being alone. Spoiler: sex isn't worth the drama Story of my life right there. I'm painfully shy on top of being a complete introvert. So even on the rare occasions I do want human interaction, I end up not being able to initiate it. For the most part, I prefer being a loner. Other people just bring too much drama and crap with them that I have absolutely no patience for. I also have this horrible habit of pushing people away when they do try to get close to me. I only have one good irl friend and a handful of good online friends, I'm fine with that. It used to bug me more, but as I've gotten older I've become more comfortable in my introvertedness. There are some occasions where I wish I had more people to talk to. Especially when I want to fangirl over something and the few people I do talk do don't know it / aren't interested in it. |
| I've always been a loner growing up. I had friends, but it was always like one or two people I'm really close with. I'm content with that though, don't like big groups. Usually that's how drama gets going from what I've seen. Also I'm not into the whole party scene like most people my age. Going out partying, getting wasted, and smoking isn't my idea of 'fun'. So I stay away from that. By now I've gotten use to it and enjoy it. I find peace in solitude. I mean I really do enjoy my time I have alone, but it gets to me sometimes... :c It's nice to have my friends company, but not be around them them 24/7. XD Like when I'm watching an anime or come across something interesting I would like to share... nobody to share it with ya know? Well because my friends aren't into anime, so I don't really have anyone to discuss my fangirl girl moments besides with my sister, but she isn't into shoujo-ai or yuri animes that I usually watch. XD Guess that's part of my reason for joining MAL. n_n |
 Fuuko FTW! |
| I'm not a loner. But I don't talk about anime with my friends because they're not into it. |
| I have no friends. I have some acquaintances, I do things with them every couple months or something but other than that I just chill by myself. My best friends all deserted me for new friends. Great guys... |
| No, I'm just a lazy/quiet cavalier asshole. I had a fuckawesome circle of friends in HS, but I moved for school, and I haven't met anyone with the kind of qualities I'm drawn to. |
| No. I enjoy the friends I have but sometimes I like to have loner days XD |
 |
Mephablo said: I prefer online socialization to in person socialization. You have to find the right type of people that fit your personality type, and I don't have the friendliest kind. Am I loner? To some people sure. But I have a handful of people online I interact with on a daily basis and we have discussions about a great many topics. That's all I really need/want. ...And that's okay! Too many people bash people who live online, but if it brings fulfillment then it's all good. Everyone has their own interests and what makes them happy. Hell, I enjoy coming on here more than talking to the people at my school (with the exception of one really good friend). |
| Chillin wit my "pack." They are all sports ppl so they think anime is stupid. yea i dnt tell them. |

Funny enough, it is actually easier to find a romantic partner than a regular friend, in my experience. Neither one tends to be worth it, though. |

| I am a loner for sure. Every once in a while I kinda start to wonder is it really that I don't want to be around people or maybe I am incapable somehow, then I will go socialize a little bit and realize that all the things I really want to do involve me being alone or with people I can basically just coexist with. In high school I knew someone I got along with like that not so much anymore though. I get along with my immediate family like that pretty much but they don't share many common interests with me so there is not a lot to talk about. Because of my loner tendencies people tend to assume I am an asshole. I tend not to say much to people unless I have a reason to and I can be very blunt. If someone actually wants to talk to me though I can actually be very nice though so people are always surprised but not many people are actually able to get to know me. What I really wish I had is more online friends. People that I could talk to without actually having to see them or speak to them too much... Problem is you go to some specialized community and it can satisfy one of your interests but its doubtful that there are many people here that share a few of my other significant interests. And even if a person shares one interest with me, it can still be hard to talk to them when there is so much that we don't have in common. |
StreetSmartz said: Chillin wit my "pack." They are all sports ppl so they think anime is stupid. yea i dnt tell them. My friends back home are all my basketball buddies. They know I like anime and don't really care even though they don't like anime themselves. Have you ever thought about telling them? People are usually more understanding if they are friends. |

I try to hide what I feel, but my problem is it is written all over my face! Grr! I have a few friends that are far away that share my interests, but people here where I stay don't get it. I am alone.. and I mean completely. I don't like to make friends here because they don't get what I mean ... so I go online to make a few friends to chat with sometimes. It's all good! Yup! By the way, I think people who are blunt and to the point are the best! They don't use people! They say what they mean when they mean it! That is an awesome trait to have!! |
| Always Smile. Stay Classy. |
| Yes I don't have many friends,mostly because people judge me before they know me. Also,I prefer to work on my own as often as possible,because On my own,I work quicker.When I am put into a group however,I don't say much. |

Mephablo said: Try reaching out to people you might have a few things in common with. Ask for their IM info, go from there. If it doesn't work out, it's not like it really mattered that much to you to begin with right? I did that once while playing a video game with a random guy. Even though I think he's a retard, he's fun to play games with and shoot the shit with online, and our wives even get along, so we do "online" date nights with games or hockey games that are on. Sounds really cheesy, but it's fun to us. :D Well I do make friends with random people at times, online and irl alike, but its always such a fleeting thing. Its so easy to fall out of touch with someone that I just find friendship to be so short lived. If thats the case I like to have my conversations somewhat passively but then some people assume that shows disinterest which makes it even more of a chore to maintain friendship. What it really comes down to, I think, is that I don't want to have to put effort into maintaining friendships. spyro4ever said: Yes I don't have many friends,mostly because people judge me before they know me.

In elementary school I remember having to do group work and people always relied on me and I hated it. As I got older whenever I had to work with other people I always stayed passive and quiet and let them take the reins so I wouldn't have to do all the work. |

| peeps liek to think of me as ALPHA and yo if you dont wanna be a loner then u gotta get confidence kno what im sayin? |
XileLord said: peeps liek to think of me as ALPHA and yo if you dont wanna be a loner then u gotta get confidence kno what im sayin? If someone doesn't want to be alone then yes confidence can help but being a loner is usually marked with a preference towards being more individualistic for whatever reason. I am very confident in myself and it has often been mistaken for arrogance but more importantly then that is it not false confidence, kno what im sayin? |
| I'm more of a loner and i actually prefer it that way :/ Don't get me wrong, company every now and then with friends/family is nice, but nothing beats some time alone to relax, think, or do stuff without being sidetracked. Still have to socialize though, so i get my butt out there and have some fun too :3 |
 |
| I'm pretty anti-social, It's not that I don't like talking to people, it's just that I don't have anything to talk about. It's usually other people that start conversations. |
| I usually keep to myself a lot. I will go out with my friends and do stuff and hang out, but that is if they invite me. I will not go out of my way to invite them or ask anyone if they want to go hang out. I have grown tired of people, even though I do enjoy hanging out with them every once in a while. I do really enjoy watching anime and I do watch anime quite a bit, but it is not the reason for why I do not hang out with my friends or other people. The reason is probably from watching anime but not from wanting to watch anime. Some of my friends watch anime, but very little. They mostly play video games and I try to keep the fact that I watch anime to myself. |

| im a loner in the real world yes, i seem to have many friends online though so yes im probably listed as a loner. |
OminousFlare said: I guess it's my temper. My ego. I never hide the fact that I don't have an ego, nor do I try to hide the ego itself. I just lay out all my flaws on the table without shame. Sure, I at least have the courtesy to be polite with people that have yet to offended me yet. But when they do, I tend to just break out Hulk-style and ruin everything that was good to me by telling that guy to fuck off. Well, I personally believe that friends except flaws and any problems someone has. I have a friends who has a temper problem and can be a jerk but I know he is a good guy and I'll continue to be his friend. Also, I have plenty of my own flaws. I don't carry a conversation very well, I snap back at my friends even if they are asking a simple question, sometimes I just ignore them altogether and even tell them to fuck off like you did over nothing. Thing is, they are still my friends, because when it gets serious enough we start acting like friends and stop being jerks to each other. OminousFlare said: Oh, I had friends alright. 'Friendship,' 'loyalty,' 'trust.' All those words seemed all so important but what the hell does it mean to me in the end? Shit. That's what it means to me. Fuck it. With your experiences I can see why you think this. I used to be the same but now I think what I said above. I completely stayed away from my friends in high school thinking I didn't need anyone, but now I see how much a friend can help, even if they are just someone you talk to sometimes. Oh, if you want me to fuck off then you can say that too, I just felt strongly about this so I commented. |

| I'm observer type personality, asocial, and introverted. So naturally, I do not readily associate with people although I'm rather indifferent to the entire matter. |
| Yes I am a loner. Do I want to be? Not really...but my job made me move away from all of my RL friends. It is hard to find people in this area that are into video games / anime and are around 24ish. Oh well...you deal with it right? |
| Yes because humans are flawed and make me nervous. |
Cecilkinz said: Yes because humans are flawed and make me nervous. Haha, they are flawed and they make me nervous, so I agree with you a hundred percent. |

 |
| I'm in both categories, I have a close group of friends, but I'm alone sometimes. |
| In a way, yes. I have 3 friends here and 1 friend at school, but we don't talk much or hang out, so... |
| I am, but by choice. Used to have many friends, but eventually, I began to feel like a nuisance and alienated myself from the majority of my friends, for the better of everyone. I actually consider myself to be a bit of a one-man wolf-pack ;D |
| I thought i wasn't but in the past year i've come to the realisation im a huge loner, and i kinda prefer being a loner. Like for example i want to go to school and just go to my lessons and not talk to anyone tbh, this of course occured because i never had any friends this past year. So yes i am a loner, and i like it. |
