Too Many Men Have a Lone Wolf Mentality 

I find the older I get the pack dwindles. Friendships dissolve , people change, true colors come out, self attentions appear. It's hard to find a good, positive pack with good people that are trust worthy. Really hard.

lone wolf mentality is on the rise because there is a lack of friendship in these modern times.

Sometimes the only person you can count on…. is yourself.

Everyone dies one day. But living in your own terms is not something every one can do.

I used to tell my brother: the lone wolf is the strongest, but it will never outmatch the pack. Strength will always be in numbers, but should you separate, you should be capable of self-reliance for your own survival

It’s hard to find good people

Sometimes, we don’t have a choice

When you are a kid or a teenager, you think you have a lot of friends, but when You get older you notice that only a few of then are worthy to call a 'friend'.

One of the things my late father instilled in me from a young age was that nobody cares about you or your problems. He would always say that he didn't like telling me this, but that's the way it is. I'm now well into adulthood and I've learned that he was absolutely right.

I just explained to my new girlfriend that this is how I've always viewed myself. Only child, neglected, dysfunctional parents. addiction. Adult Aspergers diagnosis, suicide attempt, career lost. Wife cheated on me after 24 years. I also migrated to a new country and stayed isolated from all friends for 9 years so I could look after my two babies.Yet because of my 2 beautiful young children I wouldn't change a second of my life as it brought me to them. Exactly where I am meant to be. So, for me, I HAVE to know and believe I can survive by myself because my children need me. 48 and swimming, cycling, kettle bell every week to help my mental health and it does. Id love to try acting but my shyness overwhelms me. Anyway, best wishes and thanks for the content from Ireland 👋🇨🇮

Better to be a lone wolf then with the wrong pack

I love my isolation and solitude. It helped me get sober, get back in school, change careers, get out of debt, and get my life back on track. Some of us are just meant to be on our own.

We end up being the lone wolf when we get tired of being rejected by the pack.

Being alone is a choice for some but a curse for others

I learnt being alone was better than being surrounded by half assed people. I got sick of crossing oceans for people who wouldn't even cross a puddle in the street for me..

Being a lone wolf is way better than bad company

Ironically I feel alone when I'm with others, but not when I'm actually alone.

What he failed to mention is that the vast majority of men who have this mentality did not ask for it. They’ve been left with the choice of either sinking alone or fighting alone to stay afloat. And once you’ve embraced the idea of being a lone wolf (as you must if you are to thrive under it) and found that you are indeed capable of carrying it, it’s very difficult to go back.

A lot of men are tired of having their energy pulled on and none of it returned. I stay alone because I'm sick of people.

Man I Love that “Lone Wolf” mentality. Since I can remember-I have been my own Best Friend. Figured out very early in life I was happier playing alone. Guess I’ll die alone under a dead tree. As long as I’m in Texas that’s ok.

"The lone wolf dies" Reality check, we all die.

I found cancer is a great determinant of true friendship. During my cancer journey I watched my so called friends disappear like mist in the sunlight, now 64 alive, with no friends & glad of it.

Why gangs appeal to youngsters, even if they are criminal and negative. They'll have more male camaraderie in a year at 17 than some 35 year old cubicle guys still will have.

The older I get, the more I realise that I just don't like other people's company. It's not that I don't like people, I just prefer not having to be answerable to anyone. I don't have to please anyone or live by someone elses schedule. To me it's not loneliness, it's freedom.

i was so extroverted, had my own pack, did whatever it takes to keep it together, but nothing can last forever, now i'm an introvert .

I love being the lone wolf. I feel no need for attachment or emotion anymore, completely alone and love it.

Lone wolf all the way. Rule number 1 in life first and foremost is learn to be your own best friend. People come and go but your going to be with yourself for a long time so like yourself. Learn to enjoy your own company.

Relying on others too much has the same effect. There has to be balance. If you don't know how to be independent to an extent, you won't go far either.

It's more about safety. When you rely on others, you open and and make yourself vulnerable. That's not an option if you're alone.

‘the lone wolf dies’ brother, we all share the same fate

Loneliness is the reality of life I think. Why be a part of soyciety which treats you like a disposable object? Common men are at the bottom of social food chain.

The lone wolf chooses to die alone because independent and self-sufficient individual. They find contentment in their own company and prefer solitude over social interactions. Their decision to embrace a solitary existence is not influenced by trauma but is a conscious choice reflecting their desire for freedom, self-reliance, and a deeper connection with themselves.

After a break up it makes you realize you ain’t got no one but yourself Sometimes the loneliness sinks in deeply and will have you paralyzed It’s a weird feeling but I’ve been feeling it for the longest it sucks having no one around friends family or partner

Yes! I can do it all by myself. I always have and always will.

There is strength and self realization in solutide.

It’s better to be alone than being with the wrong ones

When being a lone wolf is all you got. You make the best of it , always striving to better yourself

The Lone Wolf is difficult and not everyone is prepared to handle it. You will die... and you will die alone. You never ask for anything and you move forward the best you can... I have been alone for a long long time... It is hard... dont belive people that tells otherwise... sometimes you end up in this path because you had no choice or because you were forced by external circinstances to move in this direction. Once you get used to it, like I did, it is hard to go back to the pack life.

Im 63 and love being a lone wolf, 💯 per cent self reliant 💪

It has to be a balance. Mob mentality is just as detrimental as isolation.

We all die in the end. I had to adopt a " lone wolf" mentality as all the people in my life abandoned me. It is horrible and it hurts, but everyone either abuses or leaves.

Tough to be in a pack when the pack doesn't appreciate you. I was forced into solitude, but I chose to rise against.

Sometimes I'm tired, But I Have to keep going.. All the Best Men....

Spot on. I am a loner. Always have been.

"They say humans are social animals, they can't live alone. But you can live pretty well by yourself. I tell ya, instead of feeling alone in a group, it's better to have real solitude all by yourself." --Faye, Cowboy Bebop.

The lone wolf mentality is not only about strength, but the most important thing is that you have nothing to lose and this is real strength.

I've received help from almost complete strangers in times of need. And became what I thought was really good friends with them. Then when push comes to shove, despite what good deeds from them in the past, they do something to stab you in the heart. It's one thing to get stabbed in the back. A stab in the back is when you're seen as a threat and someone wants to take you out because they fear you. But to be stabbed in the heart means they don't fear you, they don't respect you, and they have not a care for you. Even family can and will do this. You are born alone either fortunately to parents who will love you and be good parents, or unfortunate enough to be born to complete monsters. And when we die, we die alone. What we perceive any relationship to be is strictly that, a perception. You might beleive you are bonded for life to someone you consider a great friend, and they might view the relationship completely different. When you suffer most people don't care. If a real life wolf is injured or sick in a real life pack, the pack will either eat that sickly injured wolf, or they will leave it for dead. Packs for all intents-and-purposes are for those that have something to give and gain, and love never really has anything to do with it.

The lone wolf is strong........i am 41 years old, and i have been through the hardest times starting at 6 years old. A story i will tell one day when im ready. And lone wolf mentality is how i got here. -Red Wolf

I've made my peace with death a long time ago. I don't mind if I'm going to die alone. The world doesn't owe me anything, and I don't owe the world anything either. As a matter of fact, if my Creator wish to take me tomorrow, I would feel so relieved.

A dying lone wolf is indifferent. I couldn’t care less. I’m tired. When death has come, I’ve smiled. And now, I’m just waiting for my turn.

Rather live as a lone wolf, than live with a problem pack

Most men don't have a choice but to live that way.

The reality of being friends with other men is that, we're just useful to each other. If we're not useful they're not gonna be friends with each other. So it's better to be alone than to be used by others and be taken for granted of.

As much as I try to be in a pack, the pack isn't just the path for me. I didn't choose to be a lone wolf. It is what I am.

I’m a one man wolf pack!

The wolf pack may take care of their weaker members, but when it comes to humans, we shun the weaker members. No one wants to be part of a pack that feeds on their own, even if they are alpha at heart.

We live in an era where REAL communication is lacking. Most men live like a lone wolf because it's hard to keep or find enough close friendships that we can actually count on

Was born a lone wolf and I have accepted the fact I will die alone as one.

Some have no choice to do it alone!

Didn't change my mind. I've had no problems with this life so far, that's why I live like this

When you really want to experience and discover yourself, you need to be alone. It wiil be hard but you will discover so many things about yourself. The Power is within, Know Thyself ❤

Life taught me not to rely on others and pushed me into being a lone wolf, it’s not that we choose to but more a survival mechanism. If I rely on others everything I do or plan will get messed up

The longer you are alive on this rock , you realise as a man, there are very few friends that are cheerleaders,I rather be on my own than have friends like that.

Im 41. In my 20s i had a group of friends. As i got older, that group shrunk. Im now married with two kids and a great career. I only talk to two of the remaining 10 friends i kept in touch with. Even those two seem like a distant time as we all move on with life.

I've been a lone wolf my entire life. Not by choice, I just don't belong in any ones pack, and I'm not someone who can make their own. Everyone who left my life, left me. Not the other way around. I'm not someone who fits in, and I will always be alone, and it will impact the level of my success in life. I'm okay with that now. When I thought it was a problem that's when my mental health suffered.

Modern men need to have more integrity. It’s better to be a lone wolf. It’s better to be alone than surrounded by people who constantly disappoint you. You can only count on yourself to do what’s best for you.

Everyone's a back stabber, trust no one.

That's where you're wrong. I'm not a lone wolf. I'm a lone tiger which can be just shortened to tiger because tigers are true creatures of solitude. I dont need a pack to hold me up. I hold myself up. I ain't built for a pack and I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not because society deems it as the norm, said an extrovert. Fuck that. I walk my own path. Live by the sword. Die by the sword. And I can live with that and my choices.

I was just having this conversation with my brother yesterday... It feels good to show what you've accomplished on your own and with no help.... but what that takes away from you, you'll never get back. We are not meant to be alone. We are meant to work as a community.

I’d rather die alone, why should I trust anyone when I’m meant to be disappointed?

Is not like a disease or something. Being alone is one of the most valuable lessons life could give, and those who learn start living by themselves. People who rely on others too much are pathetic.

LoneWolf here and loving it! People think LoneWolfs grew up hoping to be a LoneWolf. No! I wanted family..friends. Have/had a huge heart . Most of them fuked me with no Vaseline. So I'm good being to myself as long as I don't hurt anyone yet more so myself.

I have no friends, never married, no kids. no interaction with family, including relatives, dues to narcisstic parents. I have been isolated since early childhood, and have no issues being alone. I dont need anyone else in my life.

Right on. Here I sit, at 65 broken from living a strong healthy life, raising family helping strangers, loving GOD.. Now this Lone Wolf is nearing his end. God Bless us all. PRAYING for World 🌎 Peace ✌️. 🙏🙏 Amen. ✌️ Peace from Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka Boston Strong

I do everyday, because I had no parents growing up, I had no natural love, I had to literally learn everything on my Own.💯🦁

Everyone is the main character of their own lives. The problem is people want to be the main character in everyone else’s life too. Either that or they’ve been shown the evil side of people and want nothing to do with them. Its just an ego thing. I could sit here and tell everyone to allow love into their lives but it’s hard to do that in today’s world. Such a small portion of people that want to built with one another

Of course we do! I don't know a single guy my age who isn't 100% out for himself and fake. I do not have one real friendship. I just know a lot of people. This is what it is down at the lower - mid levels of society. Too focused on survival for such frivolities as friendships.

You see, I don't want to be a lone wolf because that makes me strong. I have to be strong because I always end up as a lone wolf

Someone said it: "Better to be a lone wolf than with the wrong pack." Most lone wolves don't have a choice. They don't have a pack to belong to.

The lone wolf is necessary, they are dispersers. They play an important role, they join other packs and mate, bringing new blood /DNA to avoid to much inbreeding there is a purpose unbeknownst to the wolf and it’s very common and necessary, when it goes off on its own. They keep packs healthy. ❤

Considering how evil society is, I'd rather be a loner who is not evil rather than join up with an evil society.

“Darkness is as light to you.” 🙏🏽

People are human and most of them change and might snake you at the end . Im a lone Lion a wolf isnt sht with out his pack . I trust no one too many fake friends in this world

When you get rejected from a pack, kinda makes it easy to be a lone wolf

Real recognize real for sure!

I'm alone, but I've never compared myself to a lone wolf. My existence is Polar Bear. And we all die in the end.

People used to live miles away from each other. Your pack is your core immediate family. Focus on that. Make it strong and you can fight through anything. We don’t need to reach for strangers outside.

I have been deceived so many times, I prefer my solitude, loneliness n detachment. Done trying to be a hero, advisor, helper. Screw the world.

Most men live this quiet life because we were never taught to communicate with confidence. We are told we are being assholes or little shits as kids trying to figure out our feelings. While the ladies are treated as princesses and never do anything wrong. It’s hard to be a good partner when one thinks they are a dog and the other thinks they are a princess.

Put 3 or more men together, they're going to start bullying someone. I just enter a room, and they start. So f*ck the pack, I'll walk alone with my self respect intact.

A man can live alone, and never be lonely. Desperate...no. isolation is my solitude. Even at my age I get more things done by myself. Not many I can depend on other than a vet. You can have your populations. I'm happy. Everything dies. Its the cycle.

I love being a lone wolf. I also refer myself as a one man army. Better alone than with bad company.

Amen to this ❤

"The strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack" -Rudyard Kipling, The Jungle Book

The lone wolf IS badass. The reason why the lone wolf is dangerous is because they’re pack animals. So a lone wolf surviving means it’s DANGEROUS and skilled at hunting/killing all by itself. I’ll stay the lone wolf, I don’t like people. I want to be a traveling drifter/nomad lone wolf going form place to place never settling until I die. Or just a hermit alone in the woods, people suck.

“Lone Wolves Feed Themselves” For some of us that’s all we got in us

good luck on forming that pack and maintaining it lol

*Keep your expectations very low. Save yourself from disappointment.*

Never had a choice I’ve been alone that long I can’t remember what it is not to be

I'm not alone. God is with me!!!
