I find the older I get the pack dwindles. Friendships dissolve, people change, true colors come out, self attentions appear. It's hard to find a good, positive pack with good people that are trust worthy. Really hard.

Sometimes the only person you can count on….
is yourself.

Everyone dies one day. But living in your own terms is not something every one can do.

I love my isolation and solitude. It helped me get sober, get back in school, change careers, get out of debt, and get my life back on track. Some of us are just meant to be on our own.

lone wolf mentality is on the rise because there is a lack of friendship in these modern times.

[jaytriplenine]

I love being the lone wolf. I feel no need for attachment or emotion anymore, completely alone and love it.

It’s better to be alone than being with the wrong ones

[xyvar]

Better to be a lone wolf then with the wrong pack

[BerishaFatian]

Ironically I feel alone when I'm with others, but not when I'm actually alone.

One of the things my late father instilled in me from a young age was that nobody cares about you or your problems. He would always say that he didn't like telling me this, but that's the way it is. I'm now well into adulthood and I've learned that he was absolutely right.

After a break up it makes you realize you ain’t got no one but yourself
Sometimes the loneliness sinks in deeply and will have you paralyzed
It’s a weird feeling but I’ve been feeling it for the longest it sucks having no one around friends family or partner

[josehuaman]

When you are a kid or a teenager, you think you have a lot of friends, but when You get older you notice that only a few of then are worthy to call a 'friend'.

Im 41. In my 20s i had a group of friends. As i got older, that group shrunk. Im now married with two kids and a great career. I only talk to two of the remaining 10 friends i kept in touch with. Even those two seem like a distant time as we all move on with life.

As much as I try to be in a pack, the pack isn't just the path for me. I didn't choose to be a lone wolf. It is what I am.

We end up being the lone wolf when we get tired of being rejected by the pack.

[Slim_Charles]

What he failed to mention is that the vast majority of men who have this mentality did not ask for it. They’ve been left with the choice of either sinking alone or fighting alone to stay afloat. And once you’ve embraced the idea of being a lone wolf (as you must if you are to thrive under it) and found that you are indeed capable of carrying it, it’s very difficult to go back.

[DeathrashWhiplash]

There is strength and self realization in solutide.

[-unique.]

The lone wolf mentality is not only about strength, but the most important thing is that you have nothing to lose and this is real strength.

"The lone wolf dies"
Reality check, we all die.

[Ant-speakingfacts]

Being a lone wolf is way better than bad company
