That one guy was articulating the articulations and combobulations and sounding all entelijunt but I shall translate -
Not having to put up with people's BS, Not having "friends" trying to steal from you, yor time is yours.
The bad part is it gets lonely and boring. Then negative thoughts creep in and you start wondering where things went wrong. You start thinking of all your shortcomings.

@Dan193 I would say make friends but for the loner, that can be difficult and exhausting.
I know what is NOT the solution - things like volunteering or getting involved with whatever clubs or groups. Reasons are -
Volunteering isn't going to increase your social circle.
Getting involved with clubs is silly because the regulars mostly shun new members (unless it is some young pretty woman that all the men want to sleep with) and then you just end up "alone in a crowded room".
I know cause I have been in that situation. They expect you to work your way up, so to speak. Sounds like a high school clique doesn't it?
I think once we are out of school, it is hard to have a social life because people are busy with work, tied down with a spouse and kids, or sitting in their parent's house playing video games.
I do not have a solution. I am a loner and basically I just find things to keep myself busy. House work, hobbies that soon get boring, playing on the web, and just whatever off-hand time wasting crap I can find.
