* Sagara Sousuke from ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' ''specifically'' tries not to get too attached to people, mainly because he wants to maintain his business-like, cold way of following orders. Unfortunately for him, people just seem to be [[Magnetic Hero|so attracted to him]] that, even if he doesn't want to, he constantly ends up with groups of [[True Companions]]. [[Stalker with a Crush|Gauron]] becomes rather angry when he finds out that Sousuke is constantly surrounded by friends, and actually [[Hannibal Lecture|lectures]] Sousuke about how being a loner is a ''good thing'' that makes him strong and unique. Funniest part about it is that Gauron himself kept two [[Wife Husbandry|very loyal girls]] by his side, making it more likely that his grand speech had more [[Green-Eyed Monster|shallow reasons]].
* Pretty much the entire plot of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' is how the protagonist Satou attempts to get over his social anxiety and connect with people after he realizes how unhappy he is as a loner.
* Averted in ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', oddly enough. The hero himself is [[The Messiah|a very kind person]], but is also formal and uses Keigo with almost everyone. He tends to be rather distant otherwise. As it's an aversion and not a subversion, he's a loner but has no pathological case of avoiding people, he just doesn't socialize.
