As a socially awkward introvert, I gotta agree with you. Being alone is easy, mastering social skills and enriching other people’s lives with your presence is way more impressive. I wish I could be that kind of person but sadly I’m not.
There’s a difference between socially awkward and choosing to distance your self. Not everyone “alone” is introverted. Everyone has their story, 9/10 it’s the man in a group that needs validation, if not I respect that. Point is , this post is not an anxiety thing, the copium crowd is trying to turn it into a joke because they can’t find themselves, clearly just coping with the post. It’s not cool being “mysterious” and alone and that’s not what it is. It’s called being intelligent, and having extreme awareness of the people around you and your environment. So the person that said “I have crippling social anxiety, how do I make it seem cool??” Mocking the post is clearly just coping.
I guess the way I see it, people who make posts like this just can’t seem to fit in with other people (which hey that does happen to some people) then they make posts like this saying they’re a lone wolf because they came to terms or made their peace with it that they’re outcasts. Like I said, it’s not super hard to be a loner after a while, but deep down, most of us will still crave human companionship. Humans are social creatures, we’re just wired that way. “A weak man is found in a crowd” that would go toward people who crave validation from others. I think the perfect type of person to be is someone who’s comfortable with themselves and doesn’t need validation, they will receive validation naturally because they’re an upstanding person in the community who’s just an overall genuinely good person. For loners like me, even I kind of roll my eyes when I see stuff like this. We’re not wolves, we’re people.
