    These labels help me with establishing boundaries, living a simple life, lots of things.

    I feel like free spirit is more au courant. But it's kinda, I don't know, vulnerable. Loner establishes control?

    What do you make of this?

    I think there both independently correct. Some are more of a free spirited soul , and some like to just do things on there own when there ready.
    I'd like to think I'm more free spirited, Lord knows I don't need any help getting into trouble , or would that put me as the liner ?
    Interesting !

    Hey, welcome back. I think you can be hip without being a "hippie". Also, you can be alone without being a "loner".

    ''confused'' is also a label......be careful with labels...once you have one it can be terrible to shake it off if your personality does a shift...it happens all the time.....loner now may crave company in 5 years...never say never

    Being a loner doesn't mean one's not a free spirit.
    I know plenty of free spirits who choose to carefully time their interactions.

    Labels are loaded. They're infused with meaning, especially if they're tied to certain philosophies, religions, lifestyles, etc.

    For 'Me' - A free Spirit is that which describes ones' nature - a loner is that which describes a state of being - at a particular (and variable) length of time.
    One may be alone, without being lonely, though there is a perception (by those who believe labels are a necessity) that they go hand-in-hand
    The way I see it "Better to have Conviction and Conscience in the thing which you are in comfortable state in being - and thought a 'Fool on the Hill', than not to thine self be true and be absorbed within a flock of ignorant sheep"
    - Methinks :)

    Never seen the word hippie used as a verb. Anyway I'm something of a loner and a free spirit, but with constraints on both. Like everyone I'm a combination of many things.

    To hippie or not to hippie, that's the question.
