Loneliness isn’t always a dramatic soliloquy in the rain. It’s quieter than that. Sadder. Here’s how I like to show a character is lonely without ever using the word “lonely”
They make plans just to cancel them. The thought of being alone is scarier than the energy it’ll take to bail last-minute.
They scroll through their contacts looking for someone to talk to, but never text anyone. Because no one feels “safe” enough. Or worth the effort. Or like they’d get it.
They talk too much when someone gives them attention. Oversharing not because they trust you, but because it might be their only conversation all day.
They linger too long in shared spaces. Grocery stores, coffee shops, post offices. Anywhere that buzzes with humanity. Even if they don’t interact with a soul.
They create little rituals just to feel seen. Same café, same order, hoping the barista notices. Same bus seat. Same podcast, pretending someone’s talking tothem.
They fill their life with noise. Music, TV, background YouTube videos of people talking—anything to mute the silence they’re drowning in.
This is meeee. I can’t wait to do this professionally
