Unorthodox: not conforming to rules, traditions, or modes of conduct, as of a doctrine, religion, or philosophy; not orthodox.
Today, I was watching a movie of a stage play called, "Passing Strange"where a young man went out in the world in order to find himself through the artistry of music. But, in the end, this young man failed to see that he really didn't need to leave his neighbourhood and the love of his family and friends in order to find his true self.
I have the spirit of a loner. But, overall, in my heart, I love my family (even the ones that don't get me or gets on my nerves a lot). I left my neighbourhood to find myself. Yet, I never forgot where I came from. I am not as sociable person, as I used to be these days; but, I still keep in touch with those that I respect mutually. And, whenever possible, I attempt to "keep it real" with those that keeps it real with me. This is the mentality of a person with a lone wolf mentality.
I don't feel the need to speak to my family friends on a daily basis. I feel the same about anyone that I may casually date. I am not a daily talker. I enjoy keeping my conversations less than ten (10) minutes at a time. I am a person of even fewer words when it comes to texting. I usually respect someone that calls me just to check-in on me or just needed to tell me something important. Empty air during a telephone call bores me. That is the best thing about a person with a long wolf mentality: There is not a need to participate in a long phone call with anyone.
When in public, I usually attempt to keep things neutral with my hangout locations. I am not a fan of house parties and/or happy hour time with coworkers. I figured that everyone enjoys being themselves when they are away from. So, a person would usually allow those to be around them that also share in their same ideal of "fun." My ideal of fun is simple: Nice, fun restaurants or sports bars, movie theatres, and bowling alleys (in no particular order). A person with a lone wolf mentality would mainly attempt to roam in their familiar surroundings unless forced to do so in order to adjust to a certain situation. For the record, I enjoy having a good time--I just rather enjoy it with those that I consider to be trustworthy and not problematic when they are out in public. A person with a lone wolf mentality doesn't want to draw any bad attention to themselves whenever possible.
At one time being a "realist" was a main part of my everyday lifestyle. Now, due to the change of time, I am more "unorthodox" with my way of thinking these days than in years past. A person with a lone wolf mentality needed to be unorthodox in order to be able to adjust to the adversities of life. I enjoy not feeling restrictive with my mentality since becoming unorthodox. And, I enjoy doing my own thing. And, I can do it without loosing myself temper or peace of mind. This is the way of a person with a lone wolf mentality.
