I’m a loner and some years ago, I was in the Grand Canyon and I was setting up a camera on a timer to take a selfie. This guy and his family saw me and I over heard the dad sadly exclaim “aww” at me and then offer to take the picture for me. After he took the picture, I had a real hard time holding back years because the “aww” was clearly an expression of pity. Even as I write this, I’m tearing up.

Being a loner doesn’t have to be pitiable! I prefer to hike alone—don’t like worrying about someone else
Sure but not everyone is a loner by choice.
And for those that aren’t it’s usually a painful subject.
