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.

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 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.

Sometimes, we don’t have a choice

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

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.

There is strength and self realization in solutide.

It’s hard to find good people

Better to be a lone wolf then with the wrong pack

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 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

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'.

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

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 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.

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

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

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 ❤

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 👋🇨🇮

"One is better than many" -The man who was betrayed by his own kind

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

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

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.

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.

Being a lone wolf is way better than bad company

This is so true. I meet so many men like this through dating who have this mentality and think it’s noble. It’s really frustrating when you’re genuine and want to see if you can pursue a future with them but they’re too guarded and think being alone is better.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Some of us have a hard time finding a pack that pushes us and likewise that you can positively push others

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

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

Sometimes death is a release

Amen, and am here to encourage my brothers to support one another. We have a voice and we should be there for one another in any/every time needed. We should also check in with each other to see that everything is ok mentally.

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.

I walk alone. I live alone. I fight alone .I shall die alone.

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

Felt this❤

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

Weak people hate those who can stand on their own

He is Focused and Reserved , RESPECT 🙏

Well struck. Well played. Well said. Well done. And well received.

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.

“His fate isn’t pretty, the lone wolf dies.” We all die, my friend. You came into this world alone. And, chances are, you’ll leave it the exact same way.

The feeling could not have been described any better than that. But it is sometimes it is better to be alone than be in the wrong pack.

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together!

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.

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

I relate to this poem after I left my wife. I'd rather have my exile... Lovers of beauty, starved, helpless against control. You who cannot wear yourself out by persisting to successes, you who can only speak, you who can not steel yourself into reiteration; You of the finer sense, broken against false knowledge, you can know at first hand hated, shut in, mistrusted: Take thought: I have weathered the storm, I have beaten out my exile.

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

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

Love it

Never underestimate the cunning and rescourcefulness. And never think that he is not dangerous. Because he IS.

I’m a one man wolf pack!

Some have no choice to do it alone!

Shane finally coming up here learning a lot

So whatever happens keep going ❤

"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.

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

Thank u n amen 🙏

“You can’t do that all by yourself” Watch me bruh

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.

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.

You don't think we know that. It's not a choice. We stay fighting, waiting for that sweet embrace

I accept this fate as my destiny. When I’m gone just know, the world was never able to change me

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'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.

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

I really like how you worded that🤙 I'm a 43 year old man who definitely feels that way, and I've always viewed my guy friends as buddies more than anything, and now at 43 I'm realizing just how alone I really am. It's nice to know that there is a group out there like this for the younger generation of guys coming in to the world so that they do have a strong influence to look upon👏

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.

Real recognize real for sure!

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

What most people (especially some women that in 2024 are still trying to convice men they have no value unless they fulfill their personal agendas or expectations) don't understand is that the so called "lone wolf mentality" in reality is about self love & being able to enjoy your own company; is about personal/professional growth, working all your strenghts and weaknesses, facing your personal demons and working hard to be the best version of yourself. It is only THEN that you can truly choose the right pack for you (friends, social circles or starting a family if that's what you aspire) and even inspire others to be better.

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

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. ❤

Lone Wolf Mentality isn’t for everybody, I mean that. You have to be mentally built and chosen to live that life of solitude w/o desperation, alone but not alone, you know that you’ve made it once you’ve come of the training phase of “I need my friends/family I need a gf/bf.” Not everybody is built to handle the quietness and the humble bored life. Staying dedicated to your goals and ambitions, health and finances. Gym, work, home, w/o needing people around you isn’t for everybody. You gotta be able to run that shit day in and day out. Only the strong truly survive this way of life! 🫡🙏 Stay Strong.

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 .

This is awesome! Love to see this Bernthal!

I use to be the person that is super friendly to everyone.. But the more you get wise, the more you grow old and the more you learn that your pack is smaller than you thought and you like it ornnot, there will be a time that you will be alone, and that's when you know, you're a lone wolf after all..

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.

Everyone dies. Not everyone lives.

Im gonna stand on it

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.

makes the concept of livibg off the labd alot more appealing imo. easier to deal with isolation when your busy with worknand got animals to comfort you

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 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.

Growth comes from within and from God. Seek help if you feel its needed, but know that all values, all teachings & all punishments. Will eventually always develop from within. You either grow strong or let your own mind consume you. That ain't going to be me.

You can live or die in both but how it begins or ends it may or may not be entirely up to you and/or others.

Doesn’t matter if you’re alone or with a pack. As long as you got Jesus in your life, you will be fine. God bless everyone!🙏🏾❤️

good luck on forming that pack and maintaining it lol
