Is it ok to be a loner?

...

Only surefire way to stay sane. If you are lucky, you'll be able to spot the other loners when it matters.

No. Go back to r9k

I agree but I also don't think this stage of my life will be permanent. Eventually I'll have a family, but that's pretty difficult after spending most of my life as a loner

this is my only board

Try not to associate it negatively, it can be a destructive mindset. Think of it as being most comfortable with yourself and use it to develop yourself as a person. Doing that can build into self confidence, which of course makes everything more obtainable in time.

It's the only way to be.

Get off my board Norman scum. Hyper socialization is a disease.

>Hyper socialization is a disease.

socialites tend to be really shallow and uninteresting people

a thousand times this.

being a loner allows you to develop your sense of self. your personality. your own morals and opinions. youre just doing you. youre thinking for yourself instead of just doing what every other retard does.

we're not supposed to have thousands of friends who mean absolutely nothing to us. Facebook was a mistake

.

I keep a pretty privet life, im civil and nice to people at work so they probably think im a normal guy despite being a racist degenerate by Sup Forums standards. I obviously have some good friends but since we all work we just keep in touch on Facebook and get together a couple times of year and of course New year's and Christmas. I know a lot of people that I'd have to say hi if I bumped in to them but I'd never chat to them otherwise. Im pretty sociable so going out for a drink on my own and chatting up women or making friends for the night is very easy if you know the right kinda places.

I would definitely class myself as a loner though, I like to think of myself as a "gray man" like the SAS teach you to be when im at work or out and about doing things, then when im out with people who will only know me one night I can be my true degenerate self

aren't privacy and introversion pretty common in Britain? In America if you're not loud and outgoing you're nobody

Yes I wish I could be less dependent on people. I went a few days without human contact and I feel like shit. Very lonely

>Very lonely

it's preferable to being surrounded by people you can't depend on

Yeah. I'm living at home with my parents. Saves money but makes me feel like I'm wasting my life too.

Lonesness is making me insane, is it only way to stay sane?

I just want one good woman my whole life.

that's too much to ask for in the current year

I probably agree with this.
I just broke up with a girl, and tried to talk to people I knew online.
It's funny, because people tell you to do things your own way, and everything, but the minute you actually do, they sometimes cast you out.
Everyone in my friend group online sees me as a child, but in real life, at my job and in my family and various other places, people see me as older than I actually am.
Social media brings out the worst in people, because a lot of people are just showing off the best versions of themselves.
Time to be alone for a while, develop and find myself.
I'm only 20.
We're with you bud

god damn that gif is comfy

It's been about two weeks since I've seen my friends, or more than a month in some cases.

It's been odd, I've always been someone that hangs out 3 or so times a week, but I've found it easy to reel that back to what I'm currently at.

I find myself with so much time on my hands, I don't know what to do with it sometimes.

IS being alone okay? Or should I make an effort to hang with friends?

Loneliness has followed me my whole life, everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man.

>IS being alone okay? Or should I make an effort to hang with friends?

only if they're friends that you really like and trust. I don't make time for fair weather friends

are you me minus talking to women
probably hard for a brit to answer this without having been in america for a while. i'd hazard a guess that youre right tho. for example: nobody really talks to each other in public transportation. i saw an american say that they often say hi to other strangers?

I feel the exact same way. I don't think there's a solution either. It's much more complicated than "just talk to people lol"

Honestly? No, it's soul crushing. Maybe people are meant to be social creatures, but being alone ultimately leads to a stagnant in life.

If you arnt doing shit with your life then yes its a problem.. I work full time, 40hr a week and attend school full time, 15ch... I'm entitled to be a loner.

...

you'll never feel a loner if you are at ease with yourself

>i saw an american say that they often say hi to other strangers?

yes it's common for strangers to say hello to each other. I usually don't oblige though. I don't even like saying hello to the neighbors

Irish people say hello to everyone they make eye contact with. It's an ancient trait that goes back to hearing the other persons accent, so you know what tribe they're from

It can make life seem long sometimes.

it's not so bad
beats surrounding yourself with people who are just going to take advantage of you

I'm a loner and it sucks.

>one good woman
>my whole life
ahahahahahhahaahahaahahha and I want to fly

I used to have friends

I know that feeling...

he looks like a whiter Cillian Murphy

Maybe it's just me, but I can't really see it.

it's only ok if you dedicate your time to something productive like reading, art, music, programming, etc. and not video games and anime if you're over 20 years old. Also, do NOT turn into an awkward fedora recluse. If you are a loner, but are able to be normal in public, then I'd say there's nothing wrong.

First you should read Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky

Pasta, yaasssss..

>last of my friends stopped talking to me in December and I only just now realized it.

I deal with people at my job all day constantly asking for shit for me to do so when I get home I don't talk to anyone, nor do I want to. I just lay in bed reading pol. It's nice just being alone, as long as you are comfortable with it

This is my biggest issue

I read a lot, and that requires being alone. I need total silence if I want to read

I guess like anything you enjoy, there can be too much of it. Go with the people here saying loneliness is a path to self improvement. Absolutely this. HOWEVER!

Being alone has the obvious bad outcomes, like NEETs. That's one extreme that we all have seen in other people. Oversimplification, thinking of it negatively will turn the experience negative. I think that's true, though loneliness can easily feel like a bad thing no matter what.

This question is a tough one, becauae it depends on the person. Everyone needs different levels of interaction.

Yea right. Women are attracted to social status, get luck ever finding one worth the hassle if you aren't willing to play the social game. Being alone has it's advantages but don't expect a woman to join you.

But it's the current year?
Surely you just want 20 different used goods roasties to dip your pecker in whenever you feel like it?

are you saying there are no women loners?

...

Not really. Tried messaging my only friend 4 times last week, he saw the messages but didn't reply.
Got 2 dates with a girl from tinder, she went in for the kiss but afterwards she said she isn't ready for a relationship.
Good thing I have a travelling job. Bad thing is I hardly have to work 1 week each month and still get paid fulltime.
I'm gonna do solo travelling next few weeks I get off I think.

Women loners still expect men to have a place in a social network.

There are plenty of attainable good women out there whom you ignore because they're below your standards.

"This"

>tinder
>relationship
Mate you're just setting yourself up for a life of roastiedom. Find women literally anywhere else if you can.

Ive barely left my room for 3 days because relatives are over.

This. And their standards are almost certainly too high. Good looks don't last, if you want a life of happiness you need to marry someone who you think is a fucking awesome person

You are right.
20% of women are off the market for being obese and showing the trait of high time preference and/or addiction. Hence why they are often found with dindus

isolation is the only way to stay sane in this modern society

No woman worth the hassle is a loner. Female loners tend to have MAJOR mental health dealbreakers.

Maybe ZUCC's cringey utopianism is the result of him recognizing how bad of an influence on humanity Facebook is

Nah isolation isn't good in purity.

You need to occasionally break out of it otherwise it practically become a safe space.

I'm not saying its bad to be a generic loner, just that its bad to be a complete one.

i'd definitely say then that brits are generally more reserved

why? Give me a good valid reason why society is insane?

Being a loner is okay. Stagnation is not. Be very careful around internet and vidya addictions. You should still pursue discipline, cleanliness, and cultivation. Read books, especially nonfiction. Make sure your room and body are clean. Continue to develop skills and your career, have goals and remind yourself of them.
I work with the loner life a lot, and the only time it's a problem is when I'm stuck in a sort of do nothing rut.

Probably depends on where you live. For me the option is the neurotic women I work with, a tinder Thot, or an irl Thot from the club. Not been able to find a decent traditional girl anywhere. Doesn't really help if you're only average looking either.

Having a family and an intimate group of friends is normal. Being totally alone and being some extrovert attention whore are both pathways to mental illness

white people advocating their own demise while importing third worlders to ethnically replace them

This 100%

I like that. My country's condemnation of introversion is one of my few criticisms of it. If you're not smiling all the time people will just assume you're upset

I read recently lonliness was correlated bigly with health problems.

Of course, unless you are a faggot that makes it look depressing and sad.

burden of proof, prove it. You really don't know if there is an end goal or narrative and even so if you're white and you're still here then that seems more like a cop out or escape goat.

I usually don't mind my loneliness but sometimes I get this sinking feeling in my chest that I can't stop. It sucks

tfw you get treeps and no one checks em

I always found it odd that I myself really enjoy solitude yet only look at it as a problem when other people discover about it. I'm basically off the grid; no social media, cell phone, etc, just an email address and talk to family only. Totally fine with this, but it makes the idea of meeting new people in the future far more daunting.

sorry man. I once got trips on a trips decide thread and then the mods deleted the thread

how new are you?

If you need other humans to be happy then you are weak

>I've only been here since this summer

desu if I'm still a virgin at 25 I'll just off myself methinks. I have five years left and not a whole lot of confidence in this...

why not just become a priest and retake the church from pedos and commies?

>tfw you don't want to be a loner but your obscure radically different interests and sub-par social skills prevent you from making meaningful connections with the vast majority of people

I'm in the same position as dutchbro. I'll only consider it if I can be some battlefield priest in like a warhammer 40k sense.

check'd

Isn't prostitution legal in your country? It seems like a pretty easy issue to solve then

Literally zero proof, yes political correctness is rife but its always been there. This kinda shit has happened throughout history. Race wise we have faced far worse calamities. You guys are just weaks sacks of shit, so please by all means give up is it not what happens to the weaker when they can't survive?

What's an escape goat and where can I find one? It sounds like I need one.

There are large groups of normie morons who all have lots of friends.

Is it worse to be a normie moron with many friends or to not fit in with such retards and be a loner?

Checked n keked

It's the only way desu senpai

I'm 20 years old and kisless virgin. I haven't had a decent social life since i was 16

If you don't mind the crushing emptiness

I'm mostly the loner type, but its been about 4 months with no socialization and I'm losing my head. Even having a beer with some guys you know only marginally is seriously important or your sanity deteriorates. That should be obvious to everyone even loners.

>tfw will never own a small, comfortable house filled with books in a rainy forest overlooking an isolated beach
why live?
