The definition of "loner" is being a person who has a preference for being alone. Okay, so they are alone. Doesn't mean they are happy or they are sad for that matter. Just means they are alone. |

To me being alone doesn't mean to be in a room with other 934854905 people. There can be this number of people on the same room with me, but if nobody talks to me longer than "what time is it?", and I don't like the person enough to continue the conversation, I'm alone. |

Oh UK people. In America a loner is a person who likes to be alone (they avoid people). Like a clique in High School. Some people are called loners because they are always alone. I think thats what he was referring to.

Just make sure you socialize with people and get exercise once in a while. Not sure about the writer thing, if you write stories which involve in depth characters it helps to have someone to base it around - I write stories :) |

It's more honest and easy to write when you have first hand experience.
Even so you can get ideas by observing the scenarios illustrated by others... |

The term "Feeling loneliness" has been pushed around so many times that whenever someone says it, they mean that they feeling sad for being lonely. |

Very true actually.
60% of the time I'm a social loner because I prefer getting things done myself, I'll sometimes go out on my own if I need to do something and don't really need my friends helping me, or they just haven't the time to join me. I'm quite content though. |
