To be frank I'm definitely in the latter category. I've never been a social type. I am basically a square peg living in a round world, in other words I just don't fit in.
I have an offbeat sense of humor that not everyone gets. Added to that I have zero tolerance for bullshit and that certainly doesn't help matters.
My female friend and I haven't talked in 2 months ever since she went off on me again and slammed down the phone. I'm beginning to think that I'm better off without her. If I can't even get simple respect from her, why continue?
I have 2 buddies, one I talked to yesterday...good guy, the other buddy has just recently hooked up with a new girlfriend and doesn't make time for me anymore.
I talk to the neighbors but apart from that not much else happening, no one comes around these days, my family and I are separated by distance and mind set, not much going on there either. I work mostly from home, don't get out much except to buy groceries and get stuff from various shops.
Any other loners out there?

Both, depends on the day and my mood. I can never get away from people because I am a leader.

Yeah it's a bit of both. I like having one or two good friends to see movies, etc. But large groups like parties I have no desire to participate.

I guess I'm kinda an introvert, but I can potentially be very social as well. Which is why I love going to the movies and watch sports with groups of people. But at the same, there is this awkwardness that you have to get around to. Like for example, I'm the kinda guy that makes bad first impressions. I think the reason for this is because I'm tired of staying quiet growing up as a shy kid. Now as an adult, it's even harder to be social. So I try to attract some attention I guess. The problem is, I may try a bit too hard at times. I make no apologies for it either. I'm not getting any younger, so better to let everyone know you exist than being forgotten.

I mean, I meant "seeking attention" in the sense that I do make attempts to be social, but could come off the wrong way some times. For example, I attempted to make a joke to someone then she tells me, MEN like you blah blah blah. I admit, totally ****'d that up. But it's not like I said anything sexist or asking her out. |

If I had a dollar for every time I've come off the wrong way, or put my foot in my mouth, I'd have twice as much money as Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk combined. |

Both depending on my mood, but mostly loner. I can switch on the people person mode for public events or parties but that's only like 5% of the time.

I too have learnt how to switch on the "people person mode" when needed. But I hate having to do that, and I always feel like a phony when I do. So to avoid this I simply avoid public gatherings. |

YES! "People person". That's exactly what I was looking for. Because I made a thread awhile back here about the Ukrainian and Russian war. Because I felt guilt for Ukrainians and Ukraine in general. But I'm not going to fake it either. This Ukrainian I talk to was like, how do people care about the Will Smith slap than what's going on in Ukraine. I was like, we don't much about Eastern European politics. So I'm not going to pretend like I know WTF I'm talking about. SORRY. I wish the best for Ukrainian people, though. I even donated money. But I rather be expressionless than to be fake. I hate fake people. I've encountered psychopaths before and you can tell when they are fake.

My belief is that 90% of people are fake. They pretend to be concerned, but in reality they don't give a flying f**k. The'll pretend to be your friend, then you find out that they have been talking smack behind your back. As to being psychopaths, most are deep down inside. You may not pick up on that fact right away, because most adults have learnt how to be politically correct, sophisticated liars. |

Us human beings are selfish creatures, but we all live by a different code. Treat those the way you want to be treated and invest the time to those you think are worth your time. Just be a good human being. It's basic common sense. But I get as human beings our egos get the best of us. |

Treat those the way you want to be treated ^^^That doesn't always work. Some sadists will consider kindness as weakness. Generosity can often lead to exploitation. When I was a child everyone gave me grief it seemed. As an adult I became an arrogant prick, and guess what happened? Now people show me respect because if they don't....not good. |

My preference would be that you address the topic by actually committing to an answer, as to whether you consider yourself to be a people person or a loner. A drive by off the cuff comment, will not support the integrity of this thread. |
