Description

The book deals with the topic of loneliness in interpersonal relationships and friendships. It aims to encourage overcoming the fear of being alone.

Almost everyone I know has gone through a similar phase or is still in it. A time when you often feel lonely even in relationships and friendships. The main thing is not to be alone. Then rather hold on to connections that feel empty than be alone. Rather be part of a group in which you don’t really feel seen than miss out on something. But why are we actually so afraid of being alone? With my illustration project “Lonely or alone?” I want to address exactly this topic: That being alone does not equate to loneliness and that it can even be beautiful when you learn to give yourself space and time.
