I'm a loner. what do i do? i dont like going out and mingling with people.Ive

Being a social person takes practice. I too sometimes describe myself as a loner - but a lot of it is because I get really nervous when I have to go out and do group activities. I realized that for me at least, it's just because I don't know what to expect.

So I force myself to go out. I'm nervous at first, but I end up having fun. Try finding some general interest courses where you can socialize with people for a short set period of time (and having some kind of organized activity) gives you something all to talk about. E.g. I took a cooking course.

You can also find online groups (e.g. www.meetup.com) where people with common interests can meeting in real life.
 
I'm a loner too. But not liking to go out and mingle with people isn't some kind of disease. Some of us just prefer to be alone. Personally, I find parties really tedious - I'd much rather spend time on my computer.

Now if you WANT to mix with people, you're not a loner, and being an extrovert who has issues being around people can be a problem.

If you don't want to go out and mingle with people, don't. But if you actually 'fear' mingling with people and if that's what's making you depressed, then you may have a social anxiety disorder.
