“Loners live among the mob, so the mob mistakes us for its own, presuming and assuming. When the mob gets too close, the truth is revealed.

“Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes, just sitting thinking, ‘Oh, people are such a bunch of assholes,’ but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating.” PeopleThinkingGivingMeanBloodSittingTiredAssumingCommunicateToleranceBunchExhaustingLonerSocializingMisanthropeGiving Blood Author:Anneli Rufus
