This is a tale as old as time observation, and its spot on. We’re not meant to be alone. Those who are find something else to replace human company, usually a pet, or obsessive hobby.

I know the film gets some hate, but Ouiser from Steel Magnolias is a classic example. She’s a curmudgeon, but she’s not alone. The women in that town embrace her for who she is and they do life together. Everyone needs someone.
