This is me. This is creepy.

"The loner has a tendency to feel different and socially inept, so she would rather be alone. Loners are usually avid readers, writers, daydreamers, and eaters. Yes, she makes food her “friend” and finds more comfort in eating than being with her peers. Since she finds comfort in being alone, she can handle those tasks that require extended isolation from others. Because she is easygoing and low maintenance, she is capable of collecting many friends, but her fear of rejection keeps her from ever knowing this.

The “loner” personality can be birthed out of rejection due to visible physical differences such as birth defects, being overweight, or being the racial minority: all of these can lead to teasing or bullying. It is also birthed from a feeling that your background or home life makes you different or unable to fit in to what is considered “normal”."

"A few of the thought processes (personal truths) of the loner include:
• I don’t fit in; I’m an outsider
• People can hurt you, so stay away from them.
• I don't deserve to be loved.
• Reject them before they reject me.
• I won’t let anyone know how I really feel, because then they will take advantage of me
• I fear not being accepted
• I will avoid any involvement with those who appear to be pushy, nosey, or interfering.
• I feel ignored, unsupported, and rejected "

Seriously, the "Reject them before they reject me" tip works out just fine, thank you. And just so you know, I have been taken advantage of. And don't tell me you haven't, unless you're under 3 years of age.
