What about the loners? How would you help them?

well i am a loner at heart and it is difficult. But i don't have problems of building relationships but somehow i got tired of socializing dunno if its because of getting older or priorities changed. well a reason to socialize is one thing. This can always help.

You don't need new ideas. The old ones work fine don't they??? You seem to be great the way you are. I too delve into the dark recesses of other's lives and try to make their lives better. Hang on to what you know ! quita

Hi there! I just want to make some points which I believe will have to be taken into consideration regarding this topic, first, loners are not necessary lonely and unhappy people, and second, some if not most of them are alone because it is by choice they wanted to be left alone. And as you said, most are talented individual, these talented individuals you are referring about maybe are the creative people, those who are more interested to create works of art, and if these are the people you are referring about then these people are really loners by their own prerogative because they wanted to capture their own different moods so they prefer not to be bothered and they are happy to be left alone. So, what I wanted to say is that, not all loners need help on the basis of socialization because they can be sociable when and if they wanted to. There may only be a few who really needed to be guided on social skills but we can only help them if they will help themselves too, because, how will we know if they needed some help if they are just sitting in one corner of their own world?

people like that are hard to change, being unsocial is in there nature the only thing i can think of is make them feel better about themselves and make effort to have fun with them so they have more self confidence in themselves to talk to new people and make it happen... if this does not work get them drunk aurely that will get them talking?

Im a loner myself and believe me no other people can understand a loner except loners themselves. If you want to help your friend, take him to a place, venue, or community where he can meet and talk with other loners, cos *im sorry to tell you* theres no way you can help someone who you dont understand. Infact that could be annoying for the loner.
