Do you know what it’s like to be a loner?

The very reason God made dogs.

Maybe talk to your friends about how you feel.. they might find a solution maybe regular monthlt or weekly hang outs when all of you are free. This is drasric but... Have you ever thought about moving to a place where people live closer to each other? That could maybe affect your social lifestyle! I think it would be nice for you to just register in some group activity class, art or sport just to give yourself a place to make new friends. Not replacing the ones you have, but giving yourself an opportunity to meet more of them. There is a sense of discomfort being alone at first.. then you might actually end up feeling.. free. Free to be you without always considering what others prefer. Free to treat yourself right when others don't. Yet again, kick your butt out sometimes.. we must meet people from time to time to be healthy and to grow :)

I do know as I am a loner myself yet seem to have the problem of not getting enough time alone as someone always just randomly shows up and wants to hang out.
It can be very annoying

Sorry to hear you feeling that way. Things can always change though especially when it comes to making new friends

Well I can say if you need additional screen friends to keep you occupied throughout the days while you try to make some real friends, I don't mind.

Also I have one thing to say about your profile headline: Welcome to the circus! :P

I cut myself off for a year. The last time I met a friend was last year in summer. I barely communicated with them over social media or phone as well. I'm supposed to meet two old friends I haven't seen since 2018 and it feels so strange. But I'm looking forward to it. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I mostly just interacted with my family, saw three friends maybe 3 times and the rest of time I either spent working, studying or taking walks in a forest alone. Well, I was also satisfying my social needs here on SW, getting laughs or venting. It helps a lot, actually.

sometimes its great to be alone and other times you really miss the support of friends

I can relate so much.

Hi, I am beginning to understand what it’s like to be forgotten and even though I was a loner for a while now it’s really coming home to me

I’m okay with creating my own way but it has been a bit tough as of late.

Yes

I used to feel that way when I lived in London for a year, I moved back home and did get a girlf and I feel a lot better. I do struggle with friends tho

I'm a loner from not being out going in the correct way. Chances of my phone ringing and it not being work or family is extremely slim

Yes,it’s how I like it,I like my own company
I have a friend in Pepe Lopez if I need company

I feel ya, i have maybe one or two good friends the rest are acquaintance. Life is very lonely.

I know what that’s like. But I’m used to being on my own and feels like I’m destined to be on my own too.

🤔 Last time I had actual close friends was when I was 17... so yeah, life can feel somewhat desolated at times...

It's the only life I know. I mean, I do have my dogs, but if I ever needed a shoulder lean on, I'm screwed

I do, but I'm quite comfortable with it. I find people draining after a while.

Im with you on this. All my friends are either far away or on here.

I’ve definitely been there. Here if you ever need to talk

I'm use to it. It's better to have friends in my mind instead.

I would consider myself as a loner too,for the most part.

Maybe that's your preferred role in life...

That's true it happens sometimes

You can share anything with me.

I know what you mean.

I understand all to well

Is this a trap?

Me.. this.

yep

I get it

Yes
