Everyone needs friends, but most can count the number of true friends, you know the ones you can truly trust on, count on, rely on and know they will do everything for you and will listen to you, with one hand. I have always been a loner, I had no brothers or sisters so I tended to spend most of my childhood alone, not that I complained I enjoyed my own company, no one to fight with, no one to share things with and I could do what I wanted to do. Even now I'd rather spend quality time alone than going out with friends, sounds shallow I know but it's what you get used to. I can get more done on my own, and I can do what I want when I want and believe me it's a peaceful, relaxing life I lead.

I am definatly a loner type. I always have been and probably always will be. I have issues with honesty and trust when it comes to dealing with other people. I have a few friends in my circle and they are people that I'd die for and know that they'd do the same. Everyone else is just an aquaintance.

i am the same, when i was younger i loved having lots of friends and going out with them and talking every day on the phone to them. now i am older i just don't feel this need anymore and am happy to be on my own and lvoe to be on the internet. i'm not sure if this happens to everyone as they get older but i never seem to feel lonely but i know i used to when i was younger.

loner type. i prefer to be alone and contemplate on things that needs my atention. a lot of connection means additional problem especially when one is involved with something wrong.

I think as a person grows older it is easier to read people and one comes to realize that quality people are hard to find. When we are younger we go drinking with a bunch of people and call them 'friends.' I think that is just for lack of a better word. Actually, real friends are pretty hard to come by. As we grow older we tend to spend more time alone. I don't need people around me all the time. I read this quote once..."If you are happy with the one you are with when you are alone, you will never be lonely."
