My name's John and I'm a loner. Ever since I was little I've always preferred to be alone. I have several really close friends whom I've been friends with for years. I've always thought it was better to have a few close friends than a bunch of "Fake Friends". I write lyrics, poems, short stories and am very creative. That's how I spend most of my time. My best friend is a loner as well. Accept for the few friends he has, he has no interest in meeting new people, much like myself.

I've been in several relationships, two of them being serious. Both times, I ended up getting my heart broken. That kinda lead to internal conflict. At times I think I would like to be in a relationship, but on the other hand I really enjoy the freedom of being able to do whatever I want whenever I want. That, and I still really love my ex, and miss the memories. I feel like I would rather stay single and reflect back on all the wonderful memories than move on. Has anyone else here ever felt like that?

I'm glad I found this place. I hate how loners are looked down upon, deemed psycho, and such. People probably think I'm stuck up, suicidal, etc, but the simple truth is that I have no real interest in meeting new people. I'm perfectly happy with my life the way it is. Perfectly happy with being alone most of the time, and with family and my close friends some of the time. Some call it a mental disorder, but I call it a life choice. I don't see what's so hard for people to understand
