If you are a loner are you considered to have no life?

[D Moness]

I love the litteralists who say "you have a pulse right?". Clearly that's not what "have a life" means.

And no, you do not "have a life" if you spend most of your time sitting alone. You are alive, but not living your life.

Very arrogant way of thinking. I like being by myself as i like being around people.
Alone i play game ,watch tv/movies etc. I am living my life the way I want to not what someone else think i should. It is my life not yours.

No, it just means you'd rather spend your life by yourself. That's how I am at least.

I'm the type of person who has about 3 or 4 close friends but not 100 "acquaintances". I hate going to parties with more than 10 or 15 people, especially if I don't know the people there.

And no, you do not "have a life" if you spend most of your time sitting alone. You are alive, but not living your life.

So just because he is alone means that he doesn't enjoy being alone? I'd much rather stay at home and play Xbox with a friend or two through party chat than go out with 5 friends or go to a party. Just because you may like being with people doesn't mean that's the only way to enjoy life.

My definition of a loner is someone who keeps to themselves a lot. But that's not to say that they don't have a life.

 

[WordyLAnn]

If you're living, you have a life.

I failed out of college and most of my social time comes with talking to people online - trust me, if you don't have a life, then I don't either.

 

[Ickorus]

Being a lone wolf is a type of lifestyle, no? There is nothing wrong with that unless you find yourself naked, rubbing peanut butter all over yourself, and dancing in the dark. *shrug*

Crap, guess I have a problem.

OT: No, loners enjoy their own company and there's no problem with that, im a bit of a loner myself though I do have friends too who generally understand my occational needs for peace.

Im gonna add on to this that people who devote their time to certain subjects have no less of a life than people who say go on a piss up every friday night, it's just a different type of life.

The OP pretty much sounds like me. I'm just taking online classes right now, but I will be attending campus starting next semester. I'm sure I'll socialize a lot more then, but as of now I just don't really have incentive to do much else. I have everything I could possibly want right here, and I'm honestly quite content with that.

Just because you're a loner doesn't mean you don't have a life. It could just mean that you mostly prefer your own company over that of other people. Personally, I barely talk to people outside of my family except for a couple of online friends, yet I'm perfectly happy with that. Mostly because the people outside of my family in 'real life' annoy the hell out of me.
