People Trying To Convince Us They’re Not As Sad And Lonely As The Rest

Being alone has a tendency to cause some denial on the part of whoever is feeling lonely. Whether it’s going home from college and fielding off the relationship questions by saying “I’m really just working on me right now,” or telling your friends that you have lots of takers but you’re just not ready, being lonely takes a toll on your emotions.

But, if you are lonely, don’t fret. This list compiles some of the other people who were caught in the act of loneliness for all to see. When you’re feeling alone, just know that you’re actually not alone in feeling alone —I’ll stop.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Mirrors never lie. Whether you’re looking at yourself in the mirror to see if those nine Hot’n’Ready’s from Little Caesars have taken their toll, or if you’re trying to dupe people into thinking you’re not lonely — they tell the truth. “Bae” in this case could be his right hand so we shouldn’t judge too much.
