Yes, there are loners, though the degree varies. There are those who really shun human contact, preferring the company of books, pets or what have you. There are also those who don't have friends but are close to the immediate family, i.e. parents, offspring or siblings.

There are also those who don't have friends but are close to the immediate family, i.e. parents, offspring or siblings. sure. its not that i don't want friends, but the people who gravitate towards me and are friendly and outgoing in 'including me in conversations and outings' are also very flakey. i don't equate flakeyness in work with how good a friend they will be but if you can't rely on them because they are constantly flaking or [hate this] creating work for themselves so they ARE ABLE TO flake off then you have to question how they will be when the chips are really down. i just don't appreciate people who can't be trusted. i wanted to see I Tonya with a friend of mine and i invited her when it came out. i finally saw it last Friday. without her. and the sad part... she flaked on me nearly every weekend and the ONE weekend she 'was able to see it' I was violently sick. and i wouldn't call her like an hour before it started, try Tuesday evening for a Friday afternoon showing... she would say yes and then would flake on Friday noon. really? i have noticed lately that 'friends' let you down. and there are too many 'friends' out there versus the true gems.

Alas, I know this to be true. And not just friends, but family as well. When the chips are down that's when you get to really know people, unfortunately. Not saying we have to be loners, but there shouldn't be any discrimination against them. I know some who look at loners like they're crazy. These are of course, the same group who think single people are weird.

Some people just don't wanna be bothered and that's fine. I have good friends that I only see like once every couple of years. IT's just hard for me to keep up with a lot of friends. Sometimes I just don't have the same interests or want to do the same things they do. So when the weekend comes, those are my nights out to have a good time and I want to do what I want rather than do the things that other people want to do. That's how I end up not seeing people for awhile and lose touch with people.

I have no friends in the city I live in, and I stay here because I FUCKING LOVE being alone.

When I'm alone, I want friends. When I'm with friends, I want to be alone.

Yes of course there are people who don`t feel the need to have friends. Or just have very few friends.
Some people just prefer to spend there time alone than with other people.
To me being alone is the best thing.

The internet has been great for me...even before it was so prolific, I usually kept my friends at arms’s length by phone lol. I don’t do nights out, not my thing anymore once I hit my mid 2o’s. I don’t drink, I don’t like crowds of strangers and I don’t like loud music. I will accept breakfast/lunch/dinner invites gladly and will visit at homes or have them come to mine. I was much more accessible by phone than in person back then.
These days, we have additional ways of communicating and I’ve even gone one step further-I prefer texting most times over phone convos, and keeping up with family/friends through Facebook. I can see the highlights of their lives and don’t care about minor details. I’m not nosy, not picky, and not really even comfortable knowing everything about people. Ironically, it makes them trust me more and want to share more. Lol.
I love my friends, and they’re all old friends. I haven’t made any new friends in ages. Society is shit in general. Trust is a problem. I prefer my own company to that of 99% of the population and I don’t see that ever changing. I’m perfectly fine with communicating on the internet, be it with people I know on FB or strangers here or elsewhere.

I've spent many years going above and beyond for friends, many who have moved on or were just "temp friends" or whatever. A lot of them live far away. The ones closest to me are busy. I'm not bitter, That's just how it worked out. I'm becoming more and more content with my hermit status, doing whatever I want when I want on my own.

I fall in the middle. I want to have friends and hang out, but then there are times when I just want to be alone.
I had a buddy in high school who always had to have somebody with him. Even if he was running to store for a 10 minute trip he would call and ask if I wanted to ride along. Me, on the other hand, liked to just jump in the car with a few of my favorite CDs and my thoughts.
