subjectivity
I have fairly recently pin-pointed subjectivity to why I am a loner and have a private introverted side. In fact being more out-going is something I had to learn. I think everyone in this group understands shyness; we are not all rebels. Although as a product of my own private tunneling I intuitively ( not necessarily from reading) worked out a lot of stuff on my own. I have a wacky side that thank God is private where I scribble things that no doubt would get me locked up. But I treat that as my right-brain doing its jazz thing than coherant musical thing. It's not set in concrete and I will whittle away until it sounds sound. Then it usually is. I realise an atheist mind deals far more directly with inner self than sublimation in God and religion. Although I have noticed some theists using the word God for inner-self potential which illustrates how any word is a symbol regarding ts meaning in the details particularly intuitive ones. For example man creates God. But mankind has or tries to have an overall sense or cognitively so for the soul of mankind and then the term Over-soul of the transcendentalists over-laps with God by assumption or insinuation.

Shyness is often confused with being a loner and Introvert - it is not exactly the same thing.
I have a discussion on the myths of Introverts.

Myth #2: Introverts Are Shy
While some introverts may be shy, shyness and introversion are not synonyms. While both shy people and introverts may shun many social situations and activities, they do it for different reasons. A shy person does so out of fear and apprehension. Introverts do so simply because they have no interest in certain activities and types of social interactions -- they find them not exactly scary, but merely boring, meaningless or thoroughly exhausting.

An introvert may be lagging in social skills because finds all the chat out there n/a. The lack comes across as shyness. As a teenager almost dis-associative because my week-ends were not spent hanging out over 4yrs before.

The Flying Atheist replied to booklover's discussion Even More FB Finds..."Now I know why I always get dirty looks when I dance. I've been using the length of the World's Smallest Bible as a measuring guide. There's not much room for the Holy Spirit, especially when I'm excited.

Debra Stevenson posted a blog postSome Wiccans and their seeking approval from Christians
One of the many religions that I had once belonged to was Wicca. It seems to me a lot of Wiccans but not all as well as some members of other Neo-Pagan groups seek the uncritical and unconditional acceptance from Christians and folk of other religions for their beliefs. This is understandable in its own way but I think you'd be wasting your time with the fundamentalists adherents of any non-neopagan religion. They don't want to accept or agree with anyone else's religious beliefs other than…See More
