If you're looking for a discussion you'll do better in the forums than in blogs.
Also adding a bit more context will help make what you're getting at more clear.
Loner is an odd term, though. Many people are introverts that enjoy spending time alone because being around others is draining. Mentally, emotionally and, of course, that can even affect you physically. Introverts are "givers" in conversation and due to this they are like a battery. They run out of charge. So to get a charge back they must be alone and do things they enjoy.
Extroverts on the other hand, are "takers" on social settings. They feed off of others. Not in a negative way, but their battery charge comes from interaction. They also tend to give less in conversations.
Some people may have mental issues or problems with social cues or social anxiety that make it tiresome to be around others too much. As one with both introversion and depression some days I simply want to be left alone. The mere idea of interaction is stressful.
Others may be shy. Being shy is stressful and can create a degree of anxiousness.
And, no, why and introverted are not the same thing. Introverted people can be outgoing when they Are social. And introverts do Need some degree of interaction and relationship with others, just much less than extroverts.
People who "need no one" are more prone to extremes. Narcissist, sociopathic or in some cases just extremely emotionally damaged. When I hear "loner" I tend to think of this last group. Hence my feelings of your choice of the word "loner".
If you decide to post this in forums to get more responses, as I said, clarify your question more and give it some context so it's easier for others to understand what you mean.
