On the A-List I don’t want you to think I’m a loner, but if I’m ever doing things alone, it’s more often going to be on a Sunday.

The stereotype of today’s teenagers as anxious loners hunched over their phones is limiting and inaccurate, she said, as four fellow volunteers nodded in agreement.

“To be honest myself, I was pretty much a loner too. I always had the fears of coming out, or my family finding out. I found myself there.”

Laconic, cocky, stubborn and unapologetic, he’s a loner in a sport that requires teamwork.

On the face of it, he is perhaps more a middle-class loner, and his apparent normality suggests a crime triggered by internalised mental processes, rather than by peer-driven association or emulation.
