If you've been betrayed often enough, it's difficult to trust others. The older I am, the more selective I become.

[Emulysse]

I dont like people not just because i like being alone, but because they make me *feel* alone.

[Pompomeranian]

Most people suck to be around and contribute nothing but burdensome negativity, judgement and drama. It's far easier to be alone than it is to search endlessly for genuine connection cause it is hard to find these days and the longer the search draws on the more hopeless you feel.

When meeting new people I’ll either be incredibly open and treat people like a life long best friend within half an hour, or the complete opposite, could spend years together and I still wouldn’t be comfortable with them. No in between. I used to think I was socially awkward but I just simply have to feel a natural connection with someone.

This is especially difficult for work environments that require you to constantly communicate with your coworkers but you have nothing in common with them except work

[mizv]

being betrayed, having people screw you over for selfish reasons or not stand up for you when things were clearly wrong. not wanting to bother because the rejection isnt worth it. not having enough in common with anyone to make them interested in the first place

I could be alone for months and months at a time and not miss a single soul. I love my own company.

Introvert here. I have zero social anxiety. I do not like small talk, conversations about other people, or current events. I enjoy talking about ideas, which most people are incapable of doing.

As somebody that prefers their own company, I have always noticed that people who have a large circle of friends always seem to be in some type of conflict with them. Falling out over something, people not being appreciative of an act, something somebody said, taking sides etc etc. I am happy not be involved in what can become a vicious circle.

I was one of those awkward kids that the other kids bullied all through my school years. Not all the other kids fault. I brought a lot on myself. I am now 58 and practically live under a rock. To me, solitude is a luxury.

Nothing makes me feel more drained and tired than being around other people. I don't even have to be forced to interact with others, just being seen and having to be among them saps my will to live.

To all lone wolfs out there being alone is never a sign of weakness or a flaw. It is a choice that some people make for various reasons. One of them being trauma that they might have experienced with humanity, especially from their childhood. Trauma can leave deep scars on the psyche and affect the way one perceives and interacts with others. Some people may find it hard to trust, to love, or to feel safe around other humans EVER AGAIN. I feel like for one to come to this choice was because they have tried every trick in the book yet they still were taken advantage of by narcissistic, self-absorbed, egocentric persons. once upon a time these were the guys whom used to be nice guys but later turned scapegoats in society, never looking backwards...

I used to love being around people but after college things changed. It just takes so much mental energy to socialize now

[markmuller]

Being undiagnosed ADHD for 40 years I've ended up not liking people and retiring from society. It's like a slow death, like removing pieces from the puzzle of life one after another in a gradual subconscious process of "That's it, I'm done"

[locobanana-]

My reasons are the 1, 2 and 3 !
I felt like socializing and being with my friends was a chore, I was always stressed that they judge me, and I felt like I couldn’t be myself, so it was exhausting…
But recently I made other friends and I’m so happy, I feel like we are the right friends for each other ! We have the same tastes, humor, dreams and motivations !

[Angelsdreamss]

I LOVE being alone and not around people. I’d rather be around animals and nature. People give me anxiety. Knowing they could easily manipulate, gaslight, or harm me physically, mentally, or emotionally. And not have my best interest at heart. Humans are very mean, insensitive, and judgmental.

[arlenerivera-gwst]

I was raised to be a people pleaser. But, I got used a lot by others. I don't trust people and I don't feel that they really like me. When I want to be liked or loved, I go out of my way to do things for that other person. I prefer being alone because I don't have that pressure or stress with myself. I relax and have fun all by myself, just like I did as a child who was not supposed to make demands.

[jjcrazi]

I don’t have a lot in common with most people around me and my personality rubs people the wrong way so I just enjoy my own company more. I hate tedious small talk, I laugh with difficulty, I seem to think differently than others around me.
