Saw this slogan on another site this morning and it really struck home with me, because it describes me to a "T."
And the side effect of this, the side effect that most people won't recognize and will criticize the 'loner' for it when they finally do see it, is that having people you once trusted turn on you and betray you makes you not want to trust anyone. It makes you suspicious of people and their reasons for doing things, which keeps you from doing things that you truly want to do.
I know because I'm going through this right now. There are several groups I would love to get involved with that are motorcycle-related, because as much as I love riding it's a lot more fun when you're riding with others. But because of just how bad I was burned by most (but not all) of the so-called 'brothers' in my former Masonic lodge, I'm very hesitant to get involved with these groups because I don't want to be hurt again.
So I guess I'll just do the 'lone wolf' thing and wait until things get better, which I'm sure they will.
I hope.
