Special Personality Traits Of People Who Like To Be Alone

When someone who prefers having a smaller circle of friends and do not mind
spending time alone, they are called loners. People perceive them as individuals
who are very lonely and depressed. Unlike those who actually feel lonely, these
types of individuals never actually feel lonely.

In fact, being with their own company is exactly what makes them feel fulfilled.
They feel more in touch with themselves and do their best thinking, making them
more self-aware of things. This is probably why they prefer to be alone.

It’s not often that people get to become friends with a loner, mainly because they
are very picky with whom they choose become close with. With that said, what
are other traits that make a person a loner?

FIRM BOUNDARIES:
A loner always emphasizes healthy, strong boundaries. They always realize that
they’re never alone, even if they were the last person living on earth. Because of
this, they always respect the boundaries of others, and expect that same respect in
return. If others cross those boundaries, they will be the first to let you know. They
believe that if you cannot be faithful to yourself, then you cannot be faithful to others.

LOYALTY:
Unlike those who need to be in the spotlight, a loner does not crave attention. But,
once they find someone they want to become close friends with, they become the
most loyal friend you’ll ever have. They know their worth, and if they find you to
also be worthy of being in their life, they will give you everything whenever you
need it. This goes for all fields of life, relationships, family, friends, and work.

KEEPS AN OPEN MIND:
Just because they enjoy the company of themselves over others, this does not mean
that they are rigid and close minded, it’s the total opposite. They are very open-minded,
and are constantly up for new adventures and activities. Even though they enjoy new
and exciting things, they will always make sure they have their alone time to collect
their thoughts before taking up things with new people.

LEVEL-HEADED:
When adversity and challenges come into play, loners do not panic or run, they are
strong willed individuals. Their self-reflection time is what has prepared them for
situations like this. They may feel stressed and overwhelmed in some situations, but
rather than waste time with distractions, they will spend some time alone and recharge
their batteries.

SELF-AWARENESS:
While many people are frightened by their emotions, loners choose to focus on them
and be aware of them. Becoming aware of one’s self is a very difficult task to achieve.
Because of this, no one knows them better than they do, and this allows them to
understand people around them better. Granted, there will be times of depression and
anxiety, but loners always have the ability to get through them and learn their lesson.

THEY VALUE THEIR TIME:
If there is one thing that is extremely important to a loner, it’s time. The most
important asset for success in life is time, and loners are well aware of that. They
are never late, they never waste anyone’s time and never let anyone waste theirs.
Because of their ability to sniff out a fake person, they will never tolerate someone
who they feel will try and play with their emotions.

THEY KNOW NO ONE IS PERFECT:
Everyone has flaws and ways to improve those flaws. So rather than make a big fuss
about them, they know to just go with the flow. Loners always do what they feel is
right for themselves and for others and always make sure that they do whatever they
can to address each flaw. They are always completely honest with themselves and
with others and will try and help improve those flaws.

VERY EMPATHETIC:
Loners are able to feel and sympathize with others on the same level that they are.
Being able to feel everyone’s sorrow can be a curse to have, but loners know how
to handle it. Because they are so empathetic, it’s very easy for them to find the
bright side out of any negative situation.
