@Platupus0v0 - That's the clinical definition of introversion. The internet seems to think that introversion means social anxiety or something. The introversion/extraversion spectrum is regulated by the formation of the social reward system in the thalamus. If that system is highly expressed then the person will get a significant reward from interacting with others. If it's less expressed (smaller) then the person will not experience social interactions as being highly rewarding. This difference leads to the person being less likely to initiate social interactions, because the truth of the matter is that people are very complicated and interacting with them requires a lot of biological resource, so without a reward to justify that expenditure, people will avoid it. Note that - as with all variable traits - the range of variation is not to indicate that evolution has failed to specify a best solution, but rather that evolution has specified that the range itself is the best solution.

I'm a loner because I enjoy being a loner. I love studying and watching educational videos, I don't sit by a window waiting for someone to rescue me. At work I laugh and joke and my colleagues are often surprised when I refer to myself as an introvert. But when I get home I breathe a sigh of relief and snuggle down with my latest textbook.

Loners don't always look so sad when alone like the pretty blond in the video. We can be quite relaxed and at piece when alone. And even happy when watching one of Anton's videos!

Ok well, let's get this clear.. there's _loners_ and then there's people who don't want to be alone but are because of various reasons...

Exactly. My entire existence flipped from 2019-2021. I lost everything (and I mean EVERYTHING). Almost like the magnetic poles flipping. I don't think I can handle it for much longer. But, I've been trying to evade the *huge* desire to hasten my trip beyond the veil. 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ "Before I start, I must see my end. Destination known, my mind's journey now begins. Upon my chariot, heart & soul's fate revealed. In Time, all points converge--hope's strength re-steeled. But to earn final peace at the Universe's endless refrain, We must see all in nothingness... ...before we start again." 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨ -- Diamond Dragons (book 1)

Yes, this. Most definitely this. I am suddenly alone, after spending 39 years loving my soulmate. After 38½ years of what I thought was a very happy marriage, one I intended on staying in for the rest of my life, he suddenly decided he was "done," and no longer wanted to "live in my world," whatever the _~bleeping bleep~_ that's supposed to mean. On the day after our 39th anniversary, he filed for divorce. I've loved that man for 40 years, and will love him until the day I die, so I'm not interested in replacing him. So, I'm alone, will be alone for the next few decades, and will die alone. I don't do well alone, but now have no choice.

@@Novastar.SaberCombat I understand. Mine did, too, very suddenly, on October 12, 2020. I am now living the exact opposite of the way I was living before that day. And I truly understand the attempt to evade the desire to hasten the end. Boy, do I ever! But, though I have no magic words to help, just know that you are not alone in this hell. If you need to, you can PM me, and I will try to keep a watch out for any messages. I'm not good at social media any more, since my world fell apart, but I do eventually answer messages. If you want my contact info, I will leave it here.

broo i felt that one

As a life long loner, I find it exhausting to be around other people for any extended period of time.

We have loners, cuz loners were required once upon a time. Someone had to live ahead of the nomadic tribe to scout trails for the elders and children to pass safely.

Totally see how society pushes me out so they can enjoy life to the fullest

It's ok, the "slime mold" title will really grow on you over time...

You will get a much better answer by reading "Quiet: The power of introverts in a world that can't stop talking" by Susan Cain

Good to see your channel growing so much. ❤

Wonderful as always anton ☺️

Sounds awesome! This video made me very excited.

I wasn't quite sure where this was going but I really enjoyed this. I remember hearing about the slime mold being studied and basically mirroring a city map showing the fastest and most efficient ways to travel so to speak and survive.

I love your space videos of course but these slime mold videos came out of nowhere and completely captured my imagination. Well done!

I like spending time alone, and my natural waking hours are usually at night. That's when I like to go out on runs, I feel my best, and generally my happiness is just a lot higher during that time. I have never really found a use for it in this modern world, unless I have had to stay up for someone else.

My existence feels validated now

Yeh I'm the type of person who prefers to stay away from people because I have trust issues and I feel like any moment I can get abused or attacked bcuz this is how I grew or experienced around myself but most important factor that played is that I luv to make my own space a bubble for my own for no one else, loneliest people have the most talent and a very beautiful smile.

Awesome explanation as always! Love your work

Wait, so for as much as I bitch about humans I might actually be helping them when trying to extricate myself from society?

At first I thought, "Anton needs a vacation." After all, when you do two videos on Slime Mold in a month, well I'm trained to believe you need a vacation. The queue was also, non-verbal. But after watching, I too started to become fascinated with Slime Mold. If I search the indices for more behavioral research on this more interesting colony, then I'll take a vacation. See you there?

It’s really interesting that the percentage left behind is optimal and reproducible in subsequent colonies while proving those left behind aren’t defective. Amazing.

This is similar to whats going to happen in the world... nutbags wanting to enforce a medical procedure on all with remove themselves or more likely those who disagree based off critical thinking skills which is a lot different than only being to think using critical race theory. The folks who avoid their "vaccine" will go to live healhy lives and flourish and the others who thought we would all die will perish in hatred.

Being alone is relaxing. No social protocols to constantly be going through and making sure I’m following correctly. I can truly be myself when no eyes are upon me.

Anton my friend, I believe you are a much needed light in our survival as a species.

Wonderful astronomy video explaining one of the many wonders of planet earth :D it's the most fascinating planet out of the ones in the solar system, keep those up!

I’ve always figured being a loner was a disadvantage. Good to see it may not be.

wow that was amazing man, thank you. my only gripe is the loner stock vid you used

I’m a loner. I find it extremely depressing at times but also much less stressful. Relationships are energy draining, stressful, and I feel complicate everything. It’s nice of course to have someone close in your life. But you can certainly be productive and happy alone.

The significant difference between "loners" and "the greater grouped magirity" is that loners have a very much tighter selectivity bandwidth of what we personally percieve to be non-idiots.
