3. u can be both ............... and one more thing------------ if u like to be by  urself does not mean u have to be a loner =)

*and by "someone who cares too much" I mean someone who ALWAYS puts other people's needs before their own* --------- u make it sound bad ........... it is okay to be like tht ....soemtimes it is really good too .......... but one do need to do things for themselfs

Answer 3

Absolutely not.  Caring about people and putting people before myself is in my blood.  Theres is nothing wrong with it.  I also need a lot of time by myself.  Niether of them or bad.  Loner or non loner people are people.  Its all in the persons personality.  Its not better to be a loner or someone who cares to much.  God bless.

Answer 4

i think its bad to be either, but id say its worst to be someone who cares to much. simply because u cant control ur own emotions ur emotions r dictated by the people u care about if they r sad u feel said if they r happy u feel happy.

the worst thing u can be is a loner who cares to much. you have to find a balance.

Answer 5

i don't think its bad to care about others needs however your own needs are more important because how can you help someone when you need help yourself.

Answer 6

It's not bad to care about people because that's a good quality to have but don't be expecting the same response back because you will be sorely disappointed in life. Be mindful of others and then go about your business  because people have so much on their plate to care about others in the same way.

If you like to be by yourself that's fine because some of us don't take too well to large crowds and prefer to have less company. It's how we've learned to deal with things and how our upbringing has made us.

Putting other people first can be self destructive because where do YOU fit in? Have to learn how to give yourself a break and don't feel guilty for thinking about yourself for a change. We all need love too.

If being a loner or thinking of others a lot makes you happy then by all means go for it. It's entirely your call.

Look after yourself.

Answer 7

I consider myself both very caring and reserved.  When I care about someone, I hold their needs and desires as equal to mine and go out of my way to make sure they're happy.  But I generally keep to myself and don't get to know too many people, so it keeps me from investing too much emotionally.

Answer 8

I think people suck in general; they say one thing while thinking or doing another- Look at Christians, politicians, role model athletes/actors . . .  The problem is that you need to associate with people to get and keep jobs unless you have some great "loner" talent.

I am sure I will catch flack from other people posting, but it is true, humans are a contemptuous breed; animals are much more civil towards one another and towards humans as well.
