Loners are a deeply varied bunch united by their disinterest, dislike, or dismay with the human race in general. The motivation to remain detached from society is contingent upon the specific loner you happen upon; however, you can count on any number of “tragedies” and “tribulations” stemming from the people who surrounded the loner in question long ago. As you might have guessed, these interactions didn’t pan out as planned.

"This loner is dreaming of friends while staring off into space."

Loners tend to use milestones like broken relationships, betrayals, abandonment, etc. as cracked lenses to view their lives through – not only does it justify staying angry, but it acts as a terrific excuse for any and every failure they encounter. Awesome, right?

"Loners reinforce their distrust of others by never interacting."
