"There’s a simple cure for our human crises. Pain doesn’t have to be permanent. And lonely doesn’t have to last forever."

Have you ever had moments when you felt invisible? Like you didn't matter? Instead of feeling like you belong, do you fake it to fit in? 

We all do. You're not alone.

Too many people pretend to have it all together. But inside they're lost and lonely just wishing someone would notice. Alone Sucks tells the story of aloneness and untangles the many lies and messiness of life.

You can feel whole and learn how to help others at the same time.
