12 Comic Artists Draw What Loneliness Looks Like

We all get lonely sometimes and it can be hard to deal with. However, even if you are feeling lonely, ironically, you aren’t alone! So many other people feel the same way as you.

So, comic artists decided to draw what loneliness looks like to them as it’s different for everyone. Some people get lonely in a room full of people whilst others are most lonely when on their own. Either way, you aren’t alone in how you feel.

1.) Loneliness as an extrovert

Devanshi G is a comic artist who feels her most lonely when she isn’t spending time with others. As she became more independent after college, she found that spending time at home was incredibly lonely. She had no siblings and was used to being around her college friends. It was an incredibly lonely time for her.

2.) Lonely around others

Zhen K feels most lonely when surrounded by people, even when around her own friends. Even when she’s there she feels like she isn’t and is actually invisible. That’s why she prefers to be alone instead and there is nothing wrong with that.

3.) Lonely around myself

Sel believes that the hardest kind of loneliness she suffers is when she feels isolated from herself. She is a very loving and caring person and yet none of this love or care is ever directed towards herself. She believes that she will slowly fit herself within her own heart and no longer feel so lonely.

4.) Loneliness is looking in the wrong direction

Andrés L believes that loneliness is something that is always there. However, we have two choices. We can either embrace it and let it take over. Or, we can look around and realise that maybe we aren’t seeing the bigger picture.

5.) Loneliness is easily solved

Isa TG spends a lot of time drawing alone at home and enjoys the solitude. However, if that solitude ever changes to loneliness, she turns on the TV and it keeps her company. She believes if you let loneliness take over you’ll get lost in it.

6.) It’s okay to be alone sometimes

7.) Spending time alone is great!

8.) Embrace loneliness

Huda F chooses to be lonely sometimes and will cancel plans in order to stay in alone. Singing sad songs is how she ironically embraces loneliness as it doesn’t bother her in the slightest!

9.) Dogs cure loneliness

10.) You won’t be lonely once you meet the right person

Cee Chandra says that the older she got, the lonelier she became. She doesn’t see her friends as much and texting isn’t the same as it was in person. She is having to get used to her own company much more.

12.) Tiny things make a big difference!

Aditi Mali believes that we should do tiny little things to make people’s days happier every day. That way, you are never truly lonely as you helped so many people that day!

So, don’t worry if you feel lonely as you certainly won’t feel that way forever. Someone will always have your back and will DEFINITELY feel the same way.
