Philosophy of a Loner?

Emery Blando: As with many cases, there is no "one fits all standard""Sulking loners", for example, are often such not by choice, rather circumstance. There are however "loners" by choice, and without being antisocial. Consider an example - imagine long time ago, travelers going from village to village. They would experience the local culture, interact with the locals, then move on, carrying the experiences with them. On their next journey towards the next village, they would however be aware there may no longer be any more villages ahead, the paved road may come to an end, but the journey would continue albeit now in total solitude. The prospect of no more interaction would constitute a type of life resembling a loner, and yet, this hypothetical traveler's philosophy is "though am alone, am no longer lonely". From example to reality - this actually is me, in a modern era. I'm a "loner", but not antisocial. I appreciate interacting with people when approached, but do not ! seek nor require other's company (not anymore. and, to differentiate from "I don't need people", no, not what I meant, in a modern society we need each other for the common purpose of surviving and thriving, I'm instead talking about relationships here).So, what would be one kind of philosophy of one type of a loner? To be polite, friendly, helpful, interactive in social settings, adventurous, awestruck by life's mysteries manifested in its simplicities, grateful for the journey, etc... but, inevitably moving on, and, always mindful one day may be alone for the remainder of the journey yet without feeling lonely, without losing that child-like awe and wonder, the gratitude, the optimism, etc... -Pat...Show more

Laveta Fathy: I agree with Patrick and Identify personally to what he describes. Basically, sociable loners don't don't limit themselves to any particular group or social circle. We are intrigued by and find value in that which is generally unfamiliar to us, ! and incorporate it into life experience.

Mauro Cowee: Re! ad up on Carl Jung's introversion vs. extroversion. If your a believer in Briggs-Meyers personality test then look into an INTJ for the reasoning behind their loner tendencies.

Pamela Meno: A human interaction must be entirely spontaneous, and must not be forced or initiated upon unwilling participants. This philosophy derives from the notion that humans are already ****** up on their own, enough to be reasonably kept from clustering into a community, where their destructive efforts are further substantiated and advanced.
