1)How long have you been this way?
I have been a loner for all of my life. While I have had one or two friends over the years, we've grown extremely distant in the past 5 years or so.

2)Do you enjoy it?
No ~ but there are definitely times when I appreciate the space.

3)Is it by choice or is it just difficult to make friends?
Both choice and difficult. My self-esteem is in the gutter, and I'm not real good at putting on a happy face.

4)When was the last time you had a "best friend?"
Probably about 8 years ago, while my (now ex) and I were happily married.

5) Do people know you're a loner? (i.e. trying to hide when people see you so they don't think you're a loner V.S being open and honest about being alone)
I don't know.

6) how do you spend your free time?
Exercise, clean, bake, volunteer in the elderly community. On the very negative side, I use my sexuality to avoid loneliness (which only works to a small extent).
