It’s very exhausting to be the lone wolf type

Those connections are so important and precious. Can be painful when they don’t work out or perhaps get a bit one-sided. Hope you’ll stay strong. No telling what life will put in your path.

Everyone's looking for that my friend .
I can stay on my own for a few days but tolerance levels go up to look for connections again with people . I don't have too many friends either . I'm not selective with my friends . I'd invite anyone into my life if they show respect .
I was looking for that all my life .
I had a drink problem . I'm sober nearly 21 years and what a journey I had .
I was in relationships, break ups , friendships , broken friendships , nervous breakdowns , pyschosis at 21 to 24 , came out of it by Devine Mercy, wasn't by me , I had friends that passed away at a young at age . I traveled across the world , Met great people in my own native and met great people in other nationalities .
I ended up in a pysche ward that I thought I'd never end up in . I lost great jobs , I had great cars . Someone else planned my life and it ended up shattered , now I'm trying plan my own life , doubt creeps in cause I was so used to others planning my life . I trust myself and I don't trust myself . I feel I'm very grounded person ,at times I think I'm getting another breakdown .
The moral of my story is storms will come and storms will go ,calm will come calm will go .
At times I'm afraid of my own thinking , at times I think I have life sorted out .
The moral of the story Everyone's looking for connections 😊

You know what..let's not frame ourselves into the boxes of who we are, this archetype or that. There are plenty of archetypes and we can today be this and tomorrow be that.
There are plenty of archetypes that we can change into every given moment. That doesn't mean we are betraying our core values, it means that we are living in flow with life and being flexible. What I mean is, I have seen that in myself how, the moment I asign myself such a title "lone wolf" -and believe me I am a wolf if nothing else- that moment I am closing myself off of the possibilities.
Yes you are a lone wolf and much more than that. Maybe you are also a butterfly some other days. A dolphin, an osprey ...

I know the feeling,
I mean, generally I'm fine when I'm occupied or ingulfed in a project,
but in between projects n stuff, I'm just like:


And then I find another project to try and prove to myself that I don't need people 😂🫠

I think of those times like rock tumblers, ideally the solitude refine everything to a nice polished state....ideally. but sometimes those sharp edges endure, which can frighten off some people....but, that also does help weed out those who like the idea of deep conversations but run the moment you break the surface

Right there with you, I've been feeling exactly the same lately.

Yup...I saw a rather informative cartoon once on the kind wolf...a series of panels with a wolf sitting atop a hillside watching the sun set... Each panel had a different word in it... And from left to right they read ..
Strong. Brave .... Courageous .... Alone.....

I'm also of the belief that trust and deep connections are two of the cornerstones of any lasting friendship, unlike those who subscribe to the school of thought that friendship is a very superficial affair.

Not easy for sure.
Hope you will find someone to chat to.

Yeah I'm the same, been living in isolation for 10+ years.

Understood.

Sounds like you're speaking for most of us sadly

That sounds like it must be particularly here.

Can you reply to my pm?

Happy to be friends. Lone wolves still need a pact.

Eventually those needs go away. After enough disappointment, all the smoke people blow up your butt about your time coming and getting out there clears and you realize you respect yourself way too much to hope for what others gain by being fake happy and positive.
