No, it doesn't mean you wolf out whenever there's a full moon.

Relative clauses (Restrictive vs. nonrestrictive)

Instead, it refers to people who enjoy time alone, don't mix well with crowds, and value quality over quantity regarding relationships, similar to introverts.

You may picture lone wolves as no different than that big bad wolf that eats up Red Riding Hood and her granny,

but just because someone doesn't talk much or meld into the crowd, doesn't make them antisocial or unapproachable.

Lone wolves can easily be brushed off as introverted outsiders, but that's just a tiny part of the story.

Here are five signs you're a lone wolf and not just an introvert.

Many people assume loneliness and solitude are the same,

but solitude is a choice, whereas loneliness is a feeling that can persist even when other people are present.

As the term implies, lone wolves tend to isolate themselves or build small social circles.

And as a result, many assume lone wolves are innately lonely.

However, Jonathan Cheek says, some people, such as lone wolves, simply have a low need for affiliation.

Like introverts, lone wolves do not need many friends to feel validated, nor should you.

You don't need a whole wolf pack to be happy, but having quality friends never hurts.

Like introverts, lone wolves are prone to introspection and self-reflection.

They often use deep thinking to analyze their own thoughts, actions, and emotions, allowing them to have better control of themselves.

They wanna be keenly aware of who they are and don't just look at the good.

They look at the bad as well and actively try to improve themselves.

They wanna know their strengths and weaknesses and use them to their advantage in school and the workplace.

This active introspection allows them to constantly improve and see things in a new light,

making them more confident and open-minded than most others.

Take a page from the Lone Wolves book and take the time to think about how you can actively improve yourself.

Commonly known as lone wolves, actress and activist Emma Watson and filmmaker Steven Spielberg are recognized as incredibly creative thinkers,

capable of thinking outside the box and coming up with new, innovative ideas.

Likewise, lone wolves are often confident with their opinions and refuse to succumb to peer pressure.

What makes lone wolves special is that many experience fear of rejection, but they will often still voice their opinions.

They value their inner voice and want to be heard.

If you wanna be heard, it's time to speak up.

There's nothing wrong with expressing yourself.

With that said, let's move on to the next point.

We live in a world where people love to talk about themselves, but few listen.

Lone wolves may not be big talkers, but they can be excellent listeners.

As said, they are often open-minded and take time to listen and reflect on what others say.

They take the time to listen, observe, reflect, and respond.

And in doing so, they can provide some of the best advice.

This is because they pay careful attention to the people around them, observing and listening while the world keeps spinning.

We all wanna be heard, and finding the right listener can be challenging, but chances are they're ready to listen if you find a lone wolf for a friend.

As mentioned in our previous point, lone wolves do not feel the need to have large quantities of friends for a happier life.

Instead, they like carefully selecting members of their pack.

They choose to build intimate connections versus superficial affiliations, and often do not hesitate to drop anyone who proves toxic or fake.

This may come off as picky, but this choice of friends proves that lone wolves care about who they surround themselves with.

They set boundaries and don't appreciate when those lines are crossed time and time again.

Keeping boundaries and wanting meaningful relationships should be a priority for everyone.

If you relate to these signs, you may be a lone wolf, and that's not bad.

Just because you're a lone wolf doesn't make you the big bad wolf.

Instead, it makes you unique and ready to write your story.

So go out there and see what adventures await you.

If you didn't associate with these signs, refrain from assuming they're a threat next time you spot a lone wolf.

They may be introverts looking for some much-needed space, so please respect that before judging them.
