Hi everyone. I'm 32 years old, male and work as a teacher. While I have around 4-5 very close friends who I see once every 2 weeks, the rest of the time I have a strong preference to being alone. I'm technically not a total hermit, but I'm not too far off in terms of my social needs.
The problem in my life is actually at work, where "cliques" are the norm among teachers and people get very offended at me wanting to spend time alone at lunch. So I'm here to hopefully find advice on how to not be hated for being a loner. Also, if I can help others, I wanted to share my experiences and strategies for coping.
