People Who Like To Be Alone Have These 8 Special Personality Traits

People tend to confuse ALONE with being Lonely, yet there is a huge difference between the two.

Loners enjoy being alone and never feel lonely.

Loners are more in tune with their surroundings and are aware of the finer details around them.

Loners have a very small and close-knit circle of friends. Therefore they make loyal friends.

Loners don’t feel the need to impress anyone. They have less need for peer acceptance than most.

According to a psychologist at Wellesley College, loners make conscious decisions to spend time alone.

It’s possible to be too much of a loner. Some loners close their selves off, because of anxiety. Some are just pathologically shy.

There are a few that have had bad experiences as kids. Therefore they would tend to get butterflies around people.

“Loneliness is like hunger and thirst—a signal to help your genes survive,” says John Cacioppo, a psychologist at the University of Chicago.

Should one of your friends suddenly become a loner, then there may be cause for concern.
