12 Amazing Qualities of People Who Like to Be Alone 

Most people who like to be alone are allergic to bullshit.

I’m alone but I’m not lonely

When I’m out with friends, I am ALL IN. But coming home to my own space is where I find true peace and it NEVER gets old.

As I’ve aged being alone is soooo peaceful. At times I choose to be around others but it’s my choice.

I love being alone , I don’t have to please nobody but me ❤

There is a big difference between being alone and being lonely.

It bothers me when people talk so much and it's not even interesting! That drains me. I love doing my own thing it relaxes me and keeps me happy 😊

I much prefer to be alone. When I do go out around people, it makes me realize why I like being alone.

I love being alone, less complications, less drama and so much better for your mind 👍

I love being alone. It’s less complicated. You don’t have to try to think up a conversation. Most of all : you stay out of gossip. I hate gossip and stay away from it.

I have been an introvert my whole life and proud of it!! Looks like every time I broke that role and tried to hang out with folks who were not like me or go to family events or job celebrations I always paid a price for it. If I sat in a corner quietly they whisper, she's too quiet, stuck up, anti-social and all the other names some of you guys have dealt with too. I really especially hate it when it comes to women the most, who think just because you're a woman you have to go shopping with them, tell them all of your business, talk about and gossip about others and when I reject that or them they get all mad and angry because I choose not to be a part of their toxic narcissistic circle!! I go shopping by myself, movies by myself, dinner by myself and have had Thanksgiving and Christmas by myself, but then again I'm never alone because I have my God with me all the time. I love meditating, reflecting on and talking to Him!! I love going on walks in a park with Him where I find true peace and the meaning of life!! I don't have to worry about Him running back telling anything I've said or keeping up a bunch of gossip and drama!! I tell people all the time, you can't put a price on peace!! I love being alone because that is where I truly find peace!! Glad to see I'm not alone in my thinking!!

There's nothing better than being by myself, where I have peace and tranquility 🙏👼💖

I love time with me. Nothing better. I am never bored.

The part about making friends is spot on. When I make a friend it’s long term and I don’t require many because the relationships are fulfilling.

I love being along, just relaxing,or baking, or watching a movie, I don’t need bars, parties or hanging out with people to have fun, I enjoy my home and getting ideas of how I can make my home more comfortable. I’m most comfortable when I’m heading home from work and I can close the my door and enjoy my afternoon.

I rather be alone than being with the wrong people that makes me feel so alone with loneliness.

Love being alone. Never feel alone, I'm my best friend. Still make mistakes but I like myself. That's the key.

Solitude is my sanctuary

If we felt lonely we wouldn't want to be alone, a lot of people say it must be boring, but i am rarely bored!

I'll never get enough of being alone .such amazing time and feeling for yourself ❤

2:56 easy to please 3:26 goal-driven motivation 4:13 thriving in silence 4:41 the value of time 5:21 talk a little, learn a lot 6:21 the spectator mentality 7:26 unstoppable self-sufficiency 7:57 excellence in communication 8:33 finely tuned listeners 9:25 protectors of privacy 10:11 easygoing partnerships 10:54 leading by example

Funny during the pandemic, I heard so many people having struggles and for me it was a blessing because I am constantly around people around family or someone needing something from me, so just having to be able to be in my own space without constant obligations it was a huge blessing, and a relief for almost a year and a half.

Even talking to yourself is better. The arguments are phenomenal!! YOU WIN EVERYTIME!! :)

It’s not a case of happy being alone , it’s about being comfortable in your own company, I don’t need other people to tell me what sort of person I am! I don’t need shallow arrogant and narcissistic people telling me I’m not like them ! They do what they do to make their egos feel better! My ego does not need a rub. Being incredibly rich does not necessarily mean financial income, sometimes the richest people are financially poor!

I LOVE BEING ALONE DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT.....😊😊😊😊

People are so disappointing, so it’s much preferred to be alone.

I’m all about the silence. Living with someone else would eventually feel like I’m in a prison with a cellmate

I love to have at least 60 percent of my day alone and have time to reflect on things. I often find being around people for extended lengths of time mentally tiring, particularly when they are contrary and I find myself having to defend my point of view on a regular basis even over little things.

I have always been a solitary person. I don't care for crowds. In realty I'm not crazy about a lot of people. But those I care about are my true friends and I love them forever.

Wow so nothing is wrong with me. Some of these qualities make me feel negatively but this made me realize I should embrace it as a positive personality trait.

"Hermit," and, "Loner," is what I am called. Solitude lets me really travel in my mind.

I've never labeled myself as an introvert before and never really thought about it. But I guess I am. This video described me better than I ever could. 😳

I feel lonelier in a room full of people than i do being by myself.

Awesome! Thanks for spreading the news! I'm so sick of being told I'm shy, maladapted, antisocial, and negative, withdrawn, and sad. I'm quite engaging when I'm with people who actually talk with you instead of just running off at the mouth. And, yes, I can easily entertain myself for days and, no, I don't get lonely.

I'm an introvert but I didn't continue to watch this video because I don't need confirmation or validation for what I am.

Nothing better than being by myself where have peace 🌺🇦🇫

Being alone is much, much better than being with just anyone! I was able to do what I wanted, when I wanted, and with whom I wanted ... life doesn't get any better than that!!!

I'm so tired of ppl infantilizing me because I'm introverted. I'm not a little girl I'm a grown woman that just doesn't talk that much🤷🏾‍♀️

People assume I'm lonely , not at all . I used to know many people, they weren't real friends , they tried to always take advantage , the type that want to borrow your car , because they wrecked every car they ever had. You say no and they freak . because you have boundaries and don't your car at the mercy of an inconsiderate fake friend. The friends you have left are your true friends for life , and they are all able to be alone too . Great video!

This video explains why I am the way I am . I went through a lot of trauma and I never been close to family so I have became very much a loner and I like keeping my life private due to my downfalls. So I don’t feel bad about being alone .

Being an HSP(Highly Sensitive Person) or introvert, in my opinion is a gift and should be celebrated.🥳

Yes. Introverts gets misunderstood sometimes. Thanks for sharing. ❤

People really don't know how amazing and peaceful to be just by yourself.Tha t defines me and i❤ it.

When I had roommates in the Army they always thought I didn't like them because I never came out of my room. I just valued my precious time alone

I have lost countless friends and even family members who think I don’t like, love, or appreciate them because I want to be alone most of the time. And I tried to tell them it’s nothing personal I just prefer to be by myself and most people just don’t understand. I’m 39 years old and I’ve lived by myself since I was 25. I must say this video is spot on. I felt like the guy was describing me personally lol.

For me, being introverted and on my own means I don't have to rely on other people for anything, except in exceptional circumstances. I have a few close lifelong friends, but don't usually even ask them for help unless I have no other options, and I'm often radio silent for days because I'm not really into small talk. I can understand why we're misunderstood, but we cannot change who we are, and neither would I want to.

I am ISTJ-A. When I was young, my mother and teachers kept trying to drum into me that always being on the fringes of social situations was "not healthy". All they achieved was to make my childhood unhappy. Once I reached adulthood, I began to assert myself and start to avoid situations I wasn't comfortable with. Now I am 65, and refuse to join-in things I don't want to just to gratify other people. Fortunately my wife is very understanding of my personality. I've never been happier!

I went from a management position for a busy exhibition firm to become a long distance trucker to be alone, i don't dislike people but people bore me with unnecessary conversation, i find myself thriving while being alone, i play guitar as well as drums, the only person i do not get bored with is my son, watching him navigate life is amazing. i found truth in this video, thanks for posting

I saw this video by accident. Being a typical introvert, I have to say, it is incredible how accurate this video is. Every word is applicable to myself.

I’m alone but not lonely. Books and helping others , there’s no perfect formula for happy family life!

I spent New Year's alone, 45-yrs old. Watching the action and fireworks outside and seeing in New year's from my box & RU-vid. Wonderful time, happy alone and with others if must.

I'm like this and have been a very long time. No matter what you do you are going to have people who think the worse of you . If you have a none judgemental friend our neighbor hold onto to them because they are like a rare treasure. ❤

I love my life being alone. I socialize once in a while, but it’s so nice to get home and be by myself.

Been alone for almost 4 years now and could not be happier.

I love being along. The peace of mine and happine'tss it brings. I feel that it makes me stronger as well as happy. I don't need or care about what other people think or say it DOESN'T MATTER!!! You can not please anyone in this world make yourself happy. It can be done.

in the first 25+ yrs of my life, i hated being alone. be it goin to the movies, beaches, & everything else, i had to be with some ppl. couldn't stay single longer than a wk, it felt like im worthless in life for being single at any given time. but nowadays, i prefer being alone. life taught so many lessons by now, & i gravitate to a more peaceful, content & simple life these days. no turning back, this suits my state of mind so much more.

Not needing others is like a super power!

There are very few people who are really nice...and genuine...always have a motive...

It's wonderful being alone most of the time, where I can think, get things done, etc., without being interrupted.

Im glad i came across this video. It's incredible how accurate this is. I dont need others to entertain me. In fact, i entertain myself by being alone. Most people think of me as a boring or depressing person because i dont like hanging out or even talking to other people. I can be one of the most energetic and happy people out there when i trust people. People often judge me by the gover a book thinking that being lonely is a bad thing, it's not. For all the introverts out there, we are powerful and love ourselves for who we are. We love to be alone, to find ourselves at peace and to have our time alone. We shall never change ourselves!

I have always been a loner.. I think it's in my genes.. two of my uncles were also loners. I've been living alone for over 20 years and I rather enjoy my alone time. Being alone is great.. Go and come when you please, nobody to ask where have you been, where are you going or when are you coming back. No arguments and no drama. You do what you want to do when you want to do it. 👍

Now I know more about myself than I ever thought I would. As far back as I can remember I have always wanted to be alone. As a small child I would find places to conceal myself so I could be alone! At 79, I live alone except for my cats. I have most everything I need delivered. I rarely venture out because I have no desire to. I am very uncomfortable around people so being alone solves this issue!

I'm a functioning introvert and have always been at ease with that. However, whilst I've always understood that extroverts are different, and that they clearly have different needs, I find that they do not understand me. That can be a little irksome.

I will have to play this video, for family and friends so that they can stop assuming I am lonely and/or just too shy, because this video just broke down how I feel without missing a beat. I love being alone, I love just hanging out and doing my own thing, at my own pace…absolutely nothing wrong with that, the same way as wanting to be around people and needing to have someone around you.

Silence is golden. Time to think and create. I prefer solo pursuits. Nothing is worse than noise - unwanted intrusions on my mind. And I love tramping/hiking alone - no cellphones, no security devices like personal locator beacons. Just a well-developed bush sense. I love my man-cave - gives me everything I desire surrounded by a huge variety of electronic componentry, wood, etc. I identify with everything expressed in this video. Nice job!

I love living on my own. If I need company, then I go out and see my friends. Then I'm happy to go home .

I love these definitions. This is the person I am and I'm glad to find myself; looking forward for more discoveries.

One of the best things about being without company is that, in general, I tend to agree with myself.

People always think I’m an extrovert because I am very outgoing, but I am really an introvert. I may seem outgoing out in public & around my family, but I can only be with people for a short time. I’m not only an introvert, I’m an empath. I am really careful about not allowing energy vampires near me. It’s taken me many years to understand these qualities about myself.

Due to my solitary preferences, family members, as well as others, think i am somewhere between different and strange. I also fit most of what the video highlights. As someone who has spent most of my working life in technical fields, it is easy for me to work fluidly inside and outside the box to figure out a resolution to a finicky machine. Some people are naturally solace, and others like me were forced into it from an early age. I am sure many can relate.

This is me 100 percent, I've always been like that and enjoy every minute of it😊 it's amazing how you come up with 12 amazing qualities of people like being alone that is so true.

I hate being in a room surrounded by people, finding it overwhelming. After separating from my husband of 50 years, and getting onto the internet, I've learned a lot more about life than ever before. I have an overseas friend who I've known all my life and we keep in touch by email and I'm quite happy.

This is so just me. Even as a very young child I would be painting, drawing and reading, and always in another room, much apart from my parents and sister. But having a wonderful pet being with me was the companionship I really loved and needed.

Loneliness is a state of mind. You can feel lonely even when you are in a crowd, and can feel peaceful by yourself. I find it tiring have to make conversations and having to listen to people who talk non stop.

Great video!!! Love that you point out introverts' qualities! Finally someone not acting like being an introvert is a negative thing.😊

Some of my friends keep telling me to join groups and take classes to meet people, but they do not understand that I choose to be alone I have no problem socializing or meeting people but I can only take it in small doses.

I love being an Introvert! I'm at home doing my own things most of the time (even though I do have a husband and 2 kids), I don't feel lonely at all and I wouldn't want it any other way. I especially enjoy the silence when everybody's asleep, which is why I stay up late every night! The pandemic was "a blessing" for me, since I didn't have to go to family gatherings which I don't enjoy. Everything said in this video is absolutely true... I'm a good listener who is observant of the world and things that happen around me. I find the loud people around me are not very intelligent, therefore I have no interest in starting conversations with them.

I'm sharing this video to all the people I know so they will finally understand me. Thanks for creating this.

Fairly accurate, I consider myself a loner never thought I’m an introverted man, after seeing this video I’m closer to an introvert than a loner, I’m very a talented artist I used to spend months alone in my studio creating works of art that’s beautiful and meaningful, but being an introvert it was very difficult for me to express my emotions during art shows and meeting new people who I felt was forcing their lives into my personal space, oh I could go on and on but thank you for pointing out my tendencies to self meditate

This really describes me. I have also noticed my intuition has gotten so much stronger .i am definitely more of an observer and it has served me well. Also no need to announce everything you do or about to do.

I love being alone. Thank you for sharing this positive side of being an introvert.

That was really good!... always thought I was introverted and your outline seems to fall right in line with my own perceived personality traits. This information remains encouraging for someone like myself. My attraction is to neither intro or extro.

I'm an introvert. Love being alone. You nailed me! Im impressed!

There were 7 little kids to take care of. Noise and chaos that I had to adjust to. Now that I’m 87, they are all adults, and I enjoy the peace and quiet. I’ve always been happy as a loner😂😂😂

Honestly, I don't mind being alone. There's a empowering movement to it. Solitude is definitely a trait that many can't handle but for me it's simple, work, gym, grocery store, video games then home.

finding happiness within themselves & without any social relationship is not everyone's cup of tea...!!! who else agree with this...!!! they are one of a kind...!!!

WOW I'm impressed.. when I read this title my first thought yeah someone knows how I think, that was rude awaken because this is almost spot on...I love being alone.... no bs, no drama, my life is peaceful.

Thanks for this episode. I was starting to feel bad about all this - wanting to be alone, with no family, no kids, not a big social life, living in my head, needing a lot of downtime...Some days I want to go to the gym, but I won't even do that as I can exercise at home, so I stay home all day. Today is one of those days. Happy to read all these comments.

almost all geniuses of the past were loners. there are many benefits of being alone. having lots of friends is the worst thing you can do to yourself, lots of distractions, stress, trouble.

Great little show explains a lot as I am an introvert. Which in my banking and finance career was a bit of disaster, don't get me wrong I did pretty well but it was the small talk, rituals and blokeeness of the place that drove me out. What was the catalyst was our 3 monthly review. There was no work problems but I originally come from the arse end of New Zealand but now live in Australia. One of the many cultural curiosities Southlanders have is we use the word "we" to describe a task completed in the context of " we have finished the marking plan" when of course it was just me doing the work. Well that set my superior off in rant for about 30 minutes on this "we" thing. No worries though it was time to go anyway. So I set up a chilli business on my little farm I will never get rich but it is a hell of a lifestyle and I have been going for 10 years now couldn't be happier

I feel partially exposed and vulnerable after watching this, as though I've been propped up on display and read like a book to the public. Its rather ominous how spot on many of these points are when referring to us introverts. Then again, I guess it does also educate those who aren't introverted.

Being a loner is greatly underrated. To me, being alone is BLISS!!!! I WOULDN'T WANT IT ANY OTHER WAY

As a life long introvert I endorse this message. It's really surprisingly spot on. I would bet if you relate you also appreciate these qualities in others.

It is rare to hear a video explain so much about my personality, I've been called shy I've been called antisocial, I've been called a loner, I've been asked how can you take being alone, and I always told them that it never really bothered me, the only time being alone becomes hard is when you're dealing with sickness either with you or your family or death, not having a spouse or a partner to support you makes it that much harder, other than that it's not that bad, but I hate being around crowds of people, I hate going to the mall or any place that's crowded, I absolutely hate standing and waiting in a line and will refuse to do so if I can help it, but the funny thing is my mom and a few of my brothers are the exact opposite they have to be around people, they can't be alone for 5 minutes they always got to go places they always need a crowd that just drains your ass like a battery I never understood it.

Wow! I'm amazing. To quote that great philosopher, Mac Davis, 'Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way."

I've always been an introvert, in school I had 2 friends, and they were also introverts. This is very true; my 2 friends have been my friends since we were in 6th grade. True again, I had wanted to be a funeral director since I was 12 and I did it, I even got a second degree in embalming. In person, I don't talk much, I'm almost painfully shy, I'm a very good listener and I don't repeat things without permission, like if it's just general talking, but I NEVER reveal secrets. I've been married for so long; I think I was born married lol.

Wow. I wish that this video was around 60 years ago when I was a kid. This video totally describes me and teachers were always trying to change me. People made me feel badly most of life into adulthood. I always felt inadequate. Fortunately, I became a programmer, a profession that really accepts loaner personalities. I thrived in my element and even developed leadership qualities.

Thanks for analyzing me. I see myself more clearly after watching your clip.

I enjoy my own space. I avoid drama but enjoy intellectual conversation. I become bored quickly with meaningless conversation. I have a curious mind and love researching certain topics.

Next time someone asks me to tell them something about myself, I will just send them this video :)) 100% true
