Drifters, especially solitary drifters, are loners that are lonely, but still prefer to go it alone.
Drifters that travel in packs, like bikers or gypsies, or itinerant Bedouins, drift but are joiners.
As a rule more settled people, are more likely to be joiners, and drifters more likely will be loners.
But an individuator likely, usually, will not be a drifter, and will put down deep roots where he is at and chooses to live out his life. His sedentary, apparently monotonous existence may seem dreary and uninspiring, but his intellect and soul wander the universe, all of eternity even. It is his local groundedness and centeredness in the neighborhood here and now that keep him humble, practical, sensible and not overawed or dazed by the accessed brilliance of the Almighty Mother and Father, or by his own, earned intellectual cleverness and profundity.
It is this local groundedness that keeps him connected to reality and moderate living and moderate interaction with the objective world.
