Is being a "lone wolf" really such a bad thing?

Why is it so bad to just not want to constantly be around people and prefer to do things on your own?

For some the term "lone wolf" is synonymous with "psycho killer" though I know 2 such people who are as sane as anyone else, but just prefer the peace and quiet of being alone.

Not really. Most bright people are lone wolves because they know the difference between things. They don't find thrill in what others do in groups.

Regarding how people see them, it's a matter of perception. Many great inventors and scientists were lone wolves.

Though I have quite a good number of people around me, I'd prefer to be left alone.
