Quite simple really, they dislike people. Not really that uncommon an occurance either, given that 90 percent or so of people aren't worth they effort of even being recognised as people. I am quite happy to be alone with a stack of books and to sit there and read without any human contact for days, this happened quite often when I was living with people I actually liked, so imagine if this was applied to people I didn't like.

Everyone get's tired of people.

Thanks for all your feedback ppls. Now the question to some of you is What are you gonna do about it?

Real wisdom needs loneliness U_U

hmm i like to be lonely, but not everytime.
Same as, when you in working/school u think about holiday; when u at holiday and bored u will think about working or school is better.
I am pisces, a dedicated daydreamer. Thats why i like lonely? hahaha
Beside that i like to walk behind my frens, i also dunno why. No leaderships or? Maybe is watching them behind how they act? Sometimes i am the one who know the situation and control it....in a group of fren or in class hehe

I just want to be lonely when my mood wants to.
But sometimes I like to be lonely 'cause I want to refreshing my mind and thinking what was happened..
That's all.

We cannot say that lonely people are lonely just because they dislike people...
I'm a lonely person sometimes but it doesn't mean I dislike people...
Its just they are sometimes afraid of rejection....from other people....
Sometimes there are these kind of people that has this so called 'flexible personality'...
It means that there are times that they want to be lonely and sometimes they want to be sociable...
But my classmates misunderstand these kind of things...
They don't like to listen to the reason why there are lonely people...
So its kinda sad ...

because it gives them time to think? reminisce? reflect on life? personally, i just wanna be by myself at times because i can do whatever i want with nobody to criticize my actions.

I think they don't know how to manage the pain after the happiness because its more painful than before.. hmmm so they think if they become lonely the pain and suffering that might be given to them is not changing while others experience the cycle of Rise and Fall.

I think one of the reasons why people choose to be lonely is because of rejection. It has a huge effect even for us.

Hm... I think it's very wrong to simply say that lonely people are that way because they dislike other people. I'm a pretty lonely person myself, I spend a lot of my time at school alone and rarely see friends out of school. I only have one friend that I absolutely trust. I'm not good at dealing with people, I'm shy, awkward with loud people and in groups.

As to why I'm like this... I don't know, for some reason I've always been someone who gets rejected, pushed aside, excluded, even bullied. I've no idea why, there's nothing particularly outstanding about me for them to pick on. Though I've heard the phrase "Nobody likes you." a heck of a lot.

I can't honestly say I like being lonely.

nobody wants to be lonely..
people who thinks he wants to be lonely is a person who arent easy with others, i mean, cant talk much. bcoz people refuse him, he refuse them too. then he thinks that he doesnt need them. he also has a so-sensitive heart.

A lot of times loneliness is what someone is used to, so that makes it comfortable. Loneliness is much less scary than worrying about being abandoned, or having an opportunity to be left alone by someone. It's easier to choose loneliness than to have it put upon you by someone else, because that hurts even more.

Quote by xiaodickfrom my point of view, its pretty much u to you whether you want to feel lonely or not... a person being alone doesn't necessarily mean that the person would feel lonely... and a person who is surrounded by people (e.g. classmates) would not necessarily mean he/she would not feel lonely...

unless... the "lonely people" you are talking about refers to people who choses to be alone or in other terms, loners...
like many others had posted...
it could be their personality, they just don't like socialising..
it could be that the people around them are not their type, as in they have no interest in the people around them..
it could also be that humans disgust them..

That's also true. And it's difficult to form bond with people. For me it's very rare I can find someone that naturally "gets" me and I choose not to put as much effort into relationships with people that don't understand me very easily, which pushes them away.

I like to be lonely because there are very few people who can understand my thinking,and very few people (that I know) who are emotionally stable,balanced and mature.If I stay with someone who s not like that I go crazy(I did that and It took me a while to recover).

A weird topic, and lacks a stagnant definition at that. But I think lonely people like to listen to the silence of nature. Well, that's at least for me.

at times loneliness can mean more peace. but anyways there might, "might" be alternatives other than being lonely, because being lonely can hurt others around you which is....quite cruel....in a way.

I don't think it's a matter of them liking being lonely, but more a matter of them liking to be left alone.

Quote by GreenRangerI just don't get it sometimes, I see lonely people and I want to talk to them, but they don't seem interested, it's if they like to be lonely.

Have you ever thought that maybe they aren't actually lonely at all, and that maybe they just like solitude. It doesn't necessarily mean that they're anti-social and hate being around people. I think it's more like they don't need to be around people constantly to feel happy. Haven't you ever felt like just being alone? Be it either to read or draw peacefully or even to just think. Some people prefer having their space so they can breathe rather then always feeling suffocated in crowds.

Anti-social doesn't mean solitude, ShadowDreamer16. Actually, anti-social means that you have very good social skills, just that you have little or no conscience, ex. You like to manipulate.

But yeah, some people enjoy solitude a lot more.

Quote by GreenRangerThanks for all your feedback ppls. Now the question to some of you is What are you gonna do about it?

You can't do anything about it imo. If you try to be lonely, someone's gonna eventually talk to you or try to make an effort to become your friend. It's hard personally imo.

Sometimes I like to be alone. I find it more relaxing to do things like reading or working on a project by myself. It's just the way some people's personalities are. Just look up the word "introvert" and you'll see what I mean.

Wll, there are some people who can support to be alone... And prefer that to be with people who can hurt him/her
I'm one of these people... I like to be alone, but enjoy company when I can

hmmm.....great question, well i'd say that from experience they just aren't sure what to say or how to act, its just like when you have a crush or are i love for the first time, u don't know how to behave or what to say so it seems like a safer option to just be alone.

I have to agree with you on that part. Most people regard me as a loner or a snob but the truth is that I literally get migraines if I'm in a noisy or crowded environment for too long.

I think they just want to be alone and they maybe think that they can do anything by their own

It's a form of self helplessness and the growing trend of "emo" amongst the youth. (Although when you think about it, being emo means you want to conform to something, so that subculture is rather baffling...)

I grew up in High School with goths, wiccans, emo, punk rockers, vampires, pot smokers, you name it, they were my friends... I pretty much thought the world should just kill itself and was rather depressed with my life. I was considered anti social and people who later befriended me admitted to me that at first, I seemed to emit some kind of "Get the F*** away from me" aura. I didn't speak much nor did I smile much.People thought I was suicidal and the fact that I came into school in black almost everyday after Freshman year didn't help either.

I think until I reached my Junior year of College did I realize that my way of thinking was pretty much wrong. It's a way of thinking like I said and self-helplessness... I thought my life sucked, that the people around me sucked, etc... As I became preoccupied with other hobbies and my relationship with my mother got better, suddenly the world got a lot greener... (When in doubt, blame your parents LOL).

So maybe it's about maturity and going through a stage, but for the most part, if you're persistent and don't give up easily and find a new hobby where you can find friends or fans (which really boosts self-esteem) then you're going to be fine. ^__^

I'm still quiet and would rather hang out in a corner than mingle in a new surrounding, but if someone talks to me, I talk back now. :P
