Make Sure the Loner is Okay

Make sure the loner is okay. Some introverted people, myself included, will often sit alone and keep to themselves at the lunch hour, family functions or other social gatherings. Often, the introvert prefers being alone with their thoughts and this recharges them. In other words, do not take it personally if you offer companionship and they stay by themselves. There is often nothing wrong. Other times however, the introvert needs a friend or someone to talk to but their nature does not allow them to make the first move. Always check on that loner. It is often hard to distinguish if someone just prefers to be alone or if they are dying for a friend and just can’t put themselves out there.
