I actually used to have a drinking problem when I was younger BECAUSE I tried to force myself to be more outgoing and extroverted. But I hated it and felt extremely uncomfortable doing it, so I'd drink. I now no longer drink, but I also avoid people MOST of the time, too. The negativity, backbiting, backstabbing, gossiping, drama, pettiness, and gross immaturity of others is what ALWAYS bothered me, A LOT.

I went through a phase of that false exteoversion. But I discovered the same b.s. gossip drama, nonsense and manipulation. One night eating out with these "friends I went to the bathroom and as I was coming back two of them had gone to the bar which was just around the hall from the bathroom. I stood,and heard every nasty word said about me. I was crushed. I sneaked to my car and drove away to home. I unplugged my phone so it would ring and ring and then changed the number. LUCKILY I didn't work with any of these people so didn't have to see them. I saw one in the grocery store 2 years later. Gave them a mean face and they KNEW better to approach. I'm that way to this day-a lone wolf. My birth family is that way too. Full of narcissistic dishonesty, cheats and always wanting money or resources. Entitled jerks at best. I don't speak to but one of them anymore. Now I love the freedom of doing me. I have one or two friends but I don't hang out with them in person anymore-just text or email. The pandemic helped me become aware of how much time and money and energy previously wasted on NOTHING of substance. Living life creatively and mostly alone and the BEST thing is the PEACE.

[@Angelareadsalot]

Thank you for this, Tim. I’m a 47-year-old, lone she-wolf, never married, no kids. By choice, and I have baffled and been misunderstood by just about every human being I’ve ever come across in my life! Thankfully I’ve made it to an age where everyone has stopped trying to set me up with their cousin or telling me I’ll change my mind about kids. I’m not against marriage, it just needs to be the right person that will understand my need for space. I started solo traveling when I was in my early 30s and it transformed my life. Not sure if my need for solitude is nature or nurture …I was a very introspective, only child, and my father was a lone wolf as well. I do enjoy visiting with friends, volunteering, taking classes when I’m in the mood. But 90% of the time, I love the drama-free, peace and quiet of being alone with my hobbies. I find that people think I don’t like them or just think I’m being rude, especially as a woman, when I don’t invite them to do things with me, or accept every social invitation. It’s not that I don’t appreciate it or like spending time with them. I just don’t NEED it, and often need that alone time more, for my mental health. Thanks for being much more articulate than I am about this superpower we possess. Keep doing you!

[@arethamorgan6613]

@Angelareadsalot You pretty much sound like an "Introvert." I say this because I am one. I guard my alone time with a fierceness. My phone contacts are pictured, so I can choose whether I want to talk to them or not. I can't stand crowds, or meeting new people. Only to learn, that I don't like them after 5 minutes of talking with them. Let alone hang out with them. I have found people, to be very manipulating, especially women. I have plenty of hobbies which is a good thing. Those who know me, know my parameters. If you see me doing something, act accordingly. They know the drill. I have trained them to respect my privacy. Pop over if you want to. You can ring that bell and knock all day. I will just turn the TV up louder. Eventually they get the message. 🤣 So I can recognize those "Introvert" traits, they scream out loud. Lastly, unless a man could add to or enhance my life. In any way, fashion, shape, or form. What purpose would he serve anyway?

Same here. Being pushed and pressured as a kid/teen to be more social, made to feel like like there was something really wrong with me for preferring to be on my own or sometimes just hanging with one other kid who was like me. At 59 my loner energy has solidified and expanded, and I really dont care anymore what people think of it or how they react. I have a couple of good friends. Been through many relationships but found they were more trouble than they were worth. My cat is the bomb. So vindicating that after the 'demic there are so many accounts by social scientist types of crazy numbers of people depressed and traumatized after the isolation, loneliness, inability to socialize with friends and go out. While I feel for them, I cant help but snicker with a Cheshire Cat grin that all those who dismiss us lone wolves as weirdos, freaks, and question marks they can't figure out and are uncomfortable in that, were forced to live as we CHOOSE to live and enjoy doing so. Only they were woefully ill-equipped to deal. Its natural for us. But to them it was torture, agony. The loneliness, being with yourself without the distraction of other people or the pacifier of running to malls, buying, crowded bars, bodies, parties, gatherings, running to stand in line for the hot new restaurant, etc. They hadn't the slightest clue how to navigate the silence and their own company. Now there are scads of ads on radio/internet for all the 'McTherapists' and counselors that emerged from the woodwork smelling money and telling them, in soothing, sexless tones, that it's not their fault they're depressed, its been a rough couple of years, we're here to help. Oh, barf! Talk to one of us 'weirdos' for free. I dont know about me, but maybe so.e if us would deign to help you get past the terrible awful you've endured, poor babies.

This explains why some guys, after they break up with a woman, say to their friends, "She was too needy." It's never an attractive quality in a woman.

I went out with a girl that got out of an abusive relationship and took no time to heal she went out with two different people after this abusive relationship and then later met me at the end of 2022 and all the signs were there that she hasn’t healed from her abusive relationship or the relationships with the two guys she was with after yet I still went for it thinking I could heal her and make it work . However all that trauma she had especially from the abusive relationship bled in our relationship that we had ! now we just broke up 3 weeks ago and I thought I could fix this girl, etc but I realize you can’t help someone if they don’t want to be helped. What’s crazy is she’s broken up with me like 6 times. 3 of them were serious break ups but she always come back but I think this time it’s officially over because now I don’t even want her to come back she became a completely different character towards the end of our relationship that I don’t see her coming back and it’s for the best .

@@almighty7709 i agree, i have met few some at least mothers who felt fulfilled & feel like the children and family life is everything to them. But the human being whatever they have or are, they find a way to make something good to be something to complain over or to be ungrateful for. Whether single/married family life it has its perks & downsets. If one can find peace in knowing this, that notjing is ever perfect or ultimate fulfilling. It will be easier to accept & be grateful for one's situation or life. My situation has always been that ppl pity me when they hear im alone & tend to make things worse, sometimes theyvthrive thinking they are better or to know im miserable, then they sometimes slip up telling it how it really is like, that they are unhappy. This is a female snake thing, stab in the back thing.

Being a single woman is definitely a superpower. I would live in my own place and if I meet someone he can live up to 30 miles away in his own place. We can visit each other on the weekends. It's called LAT . . ." Living Apart Together". It's very popular in the UK

It’s not a challenge for us we just don’t like bs and people like us we like ourselves so we’re are transparent from first interaction.

I’m also a lone wolf. And I’m really good at it. I’m also really good at being social. In fact people think I’m an extroverted chatter box. But people drain me with their drama. Their complaints.

I love this! So true. My alone time is my "re-charge" time. I used to think that I was simply a very selfish person and couldn't make the compromises needed to live with someone else. But I now try to be less hard on myself and accept that I'm hardwired to be content living alone. I can be very engaging and highly interactive in social situations. In fact, my job requires extensive social skills. Still, going to an empty home at day's end is a relief. Let's hear it for the lone wolves!

My uncle said that when I was very young, I played by myself. I am now fit 70, yes, aged like red 🍷 Like you said about your father, my mom was a loner and did not like to travel. My dad traveled around the world. I have pictures of hom riding camel's in Egypt. So I have the best from the best a loner who loves to travel.

I was not in a relationship for most of my life until I was 53. Then I got married to someone who had also been single for decades. We spend a lot of time together but also several days a week apart. We have separate rooms. We don’t need to be together all the time. It’s going ok. I think I like it. Having a good relationship with yourself is the most important thing. If a relationship with someone else supports your relationship with yourself, then it’s worth some effort. You are doing some great work helping people see new healthy ways of being. I wish you every success in your journey. ❤ Ps, are you in Maine? Looks familiar there.

Why the bitterness though? Why the dismissive superiority?

Keep that attitude up and I think you'll meet someone when you least expect it. That's what I'm doing. Just live your life and if you meet someone great. If not oh well. I think it's the right attitude to have. Especially in this world we're living in. Fill your life with fun things and hobbies. Go explore the world... Go live for crying out loud. There's so much more to life than women. Scrape your knees, get dirty. Have fun... Once you've filled your life with all those fun hobbies and things you enjoy. Maybe just maybe by then you'll have met someone who enjoys those things too. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking with it. I am never never never searching or looking for someone though. Never going on the prowl again. That's for the desperate folk who absolutely need someone. That's not the right mindset! So yeah, fill you life with fun people, activities, hobbies, a job you enjoy... That's a fulfilling life. If you happen to find a woman to ride along with you awesome.

It's ironic that you're talking about insecurity when you're likely one of the many people that can't accept that there are single people who can be happy. Relationships are not for everyone, not everyone is marriage or parent material and that backwards way of thinking only ends up causing people to spend their lives searching for something that may not even be for them.

Tim you absolutely read my mind. I've been married twice and now I'm divorced and I tell you what I I really hated living with them. I hated sharing the bathroom I hate it there in the closet. I hate it sleeping in the same bed. Simply because I'm such a loner the closeness was suffocating to me. But I thought something was wrong with me and there was nothing wrong with me. Now that I'm single I feel the same way you do. If I ever get back into a relationship I'm not living with you if we do make that mistake we're going to live in separate rooms with separate bathrooms kind of like a duplex. I will never again share so much space with somebody and give up my peace of mind. I love the idea of living apart together. If he lives across the street that would be fantastic.

He's not a lone wolf himself though. He's actually a homebody and very involved with people at work and in the community. He's just super relaxed and content in his own life and not threatened at all by my need for space. Contentment with who you are is such a good feeling. All the best to you Tim!

The minimalism, nomad, and FIRE communities have been great places to meet likeminded people even if all over the world and not as much locally. Avoiding the drama is quite underrated!

Similar here. In my 50s, kid-free, do have a cat but am minimalist, so much so that I've chosen to live in my spacious hi-top van. Had a small business for years and a wide array of jobs prior to that....before the mix n match jobs thing or freelancing became the norm. I travel part of the year, have started another small business that is mobile, and through lifelong smart money management, a frugal nature and not having a kid am good to go. The nomadic community is full of cool, interesting, and accepting people, for the most part, who share interests and lifestyle. Its been great.

I'm so happy that I never got married and that I allowed that voice in the back of my head to make me hesitate on following through on two engagements. It wasn't that I thought I could get anyone better or that I thought each person wasn't good enough but I knew in the end I didn't want to participate in having someone control my emotions and the direction of my day being controlled by another person. I didn't want to come home in a great mood but because my partner had a bad day I can't even truly finish my evening feeling great. I didn't want to participate in being the personal housekeeper, mommy or spend any part of my life being at my spouse's family members houses. Spending time with people I'm not related to because he's related to them. All of it very much feels like a living nightmare but that's just me I'm not judging anybody's decisions but I'm so glad I never did it. Also to any women reading this under 40, you've been lied to, life gets much better after 40 but you will have knee and back problems. Yes, the dating game does change and the options are cut in half but life is so full of other things besides being able to claim a man.

Before I listen to your answer/reason, I haven’t been in a relationship in like forever, either. For me, the reason is I don’t need or want to be in a relationship and I’m not actively looking.

I’m at the age now where I’m not changing who I am to fit in with someone else’s life or their idea of who I should be or who they want me to be.

Got together with a severely depressed woman. I was trying to fix her but she broke my spirit. Took me forever to heal from all of that bullshit. Now I'm single for maybe 5 years and after getting my shit together I'm finally happy and truly enjoy solitude. It gives me so much time to develop my skills and reflect on my life because I don't have to deal with any drama.

I crave alone time but live with my parents. I am not young. I like to be with people sometimes, but am also ok going places by myself. You do you. There is nothing wrong with not being coupled up with someone else. It is not a disease. You can be alone without being lonely. Keep up these walk and talks.

I loved every minute of this video!! I can so, so relate! No kids (by choice). I love being by myself, doing my own things. Love nature. Your channel is definitively one that I have subscribed to!

I’m a lone wolf type as well, always have been. Small circle of friends is all I need, and I find solitude to be peaceful. After the breakdown of a nearly 20 year marriage and living a solo life, I really began to appreciate my natural inclination for solitude. I tried dating for a little, bit didn’t feel any sort of compulsion to enter into a new relationship. I attended a funeral for a former family member from my life as a married man where I saw my ex, the in laws, and my niece, nephew, aunt, and uncle by the former marriage openly grieving. To observe this from what is now an outsider perspective and to realize those people are no longer an intricate part of my life, despite caring about them very much….that brought on a profound sense of loneliness which still echo today. My point: be aware that, although we may embrace and thrive in solitude; it doesn’t make us impervious to feeling loneliness. I was always aware of the distinction, however, having lived it…I’m grateful for the insights gained. Have a good day everyone. 😎

Loved your video and view on societal norms and your lone wolf lifestyle. I'm a loner myself, and enjoy every minute of it.

Tim. It's refreshing to hear your thoughts. There are a lot of people in the world who find themselves alone, for one reason or another. We're conditioned by society to feel that there's something wrong with it. But there is a time and season for everything, even being alone.

I’m a bit of a loner. Intimate relationship scare me. I like traveling with my friends ( for support and safety). There’s nothing like sitting in a room watching movies or playing video games by myself. Alone but not lonely.

6:16 You can go on tour trips, Tim. I went to Portugal in April 2023 by myself. I went on a tour WITH thirty plus people. I was never alone but had my OWN room. Had lots of fun, diverse age groups.

Travel groups/retreats ARE great 👍

I first felt my loner spirit the first day I was put in school at 5yrs. old in a class full of other kids I didn't know. Between 5 and mid 60's, I've served several life times of hard lessons to put me on the path of trying to find out about the purpose of life, and my relation to it. Eventually I had to realize that it's not about who I am in life, but who am I out of life. A spiritual being having a human experience. Trying to focus on my being, there's no time to walk around feeling lonely. Others can become a distraction when they are not on the same page as you.

You know, now I feel better about it. You're describing the lone wolf personality exactly as I would describe it. I'd like to add that people like us tend to be very private and we strongly value that privacy and our personal space, especially when we are doing an activity we enjoy and we're used to absorbing all of the experience without someone else interrupting our flow. I can't even focus enough on a task to do it at my best when somebody is with me and talking too much.

Yes, I can definitely relate! As a woman, it is hard to find a partner who loves to be the same way without having to feel insecure or needing to have someone on the side until you're ready to bond again. Someone once told me that my gift was loneliness. I didn't know whether I should have been offended by that comment or not but now that I'm older and wiser, I fully understand what it means to be alone without feeling lonely. Thanks for sharing!
