it's not rude but you will be an outcast because of it

we're social animals, if you don't show yourself as part of the pack you'll be treated as an other - with suspicion and distance. it's much better to first show that you want to be part of the pack, and then establish yourself as someone who keeps to themselves. this way you'll get even more peace and quiet, because people you're on friendly terms are more likely to respect your personal space

this is the difference between "that lonely guy over there (he likes peace, but is nice)" and "that lonely guy over there (he creeps me out)"

    Some people are, some people aren't. Plenty of us aren't pack creatures and we don't associate with pack-minded people.

    Any group or community that forks a 'pack' is one I immediately leave. I refuse to be dragged down into that nonsense and tribalism. It most often becomes abusive and coercive eventually.

    Heck, are you even human? Homo sapiens?

    We survive on group dinâmica and tribalism. To not do that makes it sound as if you were some weird alien or an hominid that somehow escaped the great genetic purge our ancestors carried generations ago.

    every human is a pack animal, this is not a matter of personality but of our genetic make up. if you weren't a pack animal your mother would've thrown you out of the house when you were max ~4 years old so you could go fend for yourself

    Some people aren't pack animals - isn't it wild how diverse the human species is! Lol it's on you if you're guilty of thinking these people are a problem.

    Autistic people aren't pack animals.

    my many autistic friends woild beg to differ

    again, i don't mean "oh i prefer to be alone :)" i mean the genetic quality of the human race. if you're interested i suggest you look up what behaviours pack animals (other than humans) exhibit, because no matter how edgy and lonely you want to feel - you are a pack animal

    There are shocker different types of humans. I'm not disputing they are mainly pack animals only that it's not "the only" thing they can be. Welcome to the diverse beautiful world we live in
