* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'': This turns out to be Ren's FatalFlaw, as he keeps ditching his party in order to train alone, so he can hog all the experience and loot. This, however, contributes to their TotalPartyKill, as their lack of coordination in a fight and low levels means they are unable to handle anything the [[{{Kaiju}} Spirit Tortoise]] throws at them.

* Homura from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' is so engrossed in this that she's a mysterious, antisocial weirdo to nearly everyone around her and initially, even to the audience, until her backstory gets explained in episode 10. This gets to a point that the nature of her witch form Homulilly is ''self-sufficience''.

** Whenever [[Characters/RickAndMortyEvilMorty Evil Morty]] schemes, he tends to prefer doing it himself. In ''Close Rick-Counters of the Rick Kind'', using Evil Rick as his mouthpiece, when Rick C-137 assumes that they team up to destroy the Citadel, he claims he's pretty good doing things on his own. In ''Unmortricken'', Evil Morty outright refuses to Rick Prime's WeCanRuleTogether. Ironically, this trope is one of the only things Evil Morty shares with Rick Prime.

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': A {{Deconstruction}} of this trope is shown in the second half of Season Two and in ''Literature/GravityFallsJournal3'': The Author aka [[spoiler:Dr. Stanford Pines had this mindset in his youth, only working with one assistant and ignoring the townspeople. This and his arrogance resulted in being manipulated by Bill Cipher into building a portal for him and his friends to try to TakeOverTheWorld. He does stop Bill and shuts down the portal, but also loses his one friend, goes partly insane and ultimately gets sucked into the portal after a fight with his brother, Stanley. Even after thirty years missing and his experiences in the multiverse, he still goes by this mindset, trusting only Dipper with The Rift. That results in Cipher manipulating Mabel into unknowingly giving it to him, Ford getting captured trying to stop him alone and him regretting his lone wolf actions.]] He does get better in the end.

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'': {{Deconstruction}}. Kiritaka Nagare was horribly bullied at school; his bullies were satanic thugs who liked to torture him and his classmates. He chose to endure the torture alone for months without asking for help while he gathered evidence to turn in his bullies. It's unknown why he didn't go to his teachers or if they would have been any help, but it is known that he was isolated from his classmates because of a frame-up from one of the bullies. The reason he didn't tell his parents is because he did not want to bury his mother, who he loved greatly. This backfired greatly when, after months of torture and gathering evidence and when he needed evidence on the leader, his bullies blackmailed him into jumping into a street, and he was killed by a truck. His mother, who witnessed his death, was broken and discovered the evidence he gathered on his bullies. His mother, Mari, discovered the evidence; realizing the instant of her son's torture and angry at losing him, she snapped, swore revenge for her son, threw away her life, divorced her husband, changed her name to Maria Akeboshi, had plastic surgery, and two years later became the nurse at the bullies' school to exact revenge. It would've been better if he had asked for help because his trying to defeat his bullies alone caused his death and destroyed his family.
