You can go back to 'How are you?'
Sue asks how Deb is after choir. Deb says she is fine and tells a funny story about searching for the glasses already on her face. Everyone laughs, but Deb goes home feeling lonely. Rosie asks what she wished she had said and remembers the pub quiz, when Sue passed Deb the pencil and made room for her answer. At the next rehearsal, Deb tells Sue she has felt a bit lonely. Sue suggests walking to the bus stop together, and Deb gets to talk without keeping everyone entertained.

The script for this illustrated story. Open it if you prefer to read along.
Deb: I made everyone laugh last night. Then I went home feeling lonely.
Rosie: You can tell one friend you're not feeling as cheerful as you sound.
Deb: Sue asked how I was after choir. I said, 'Fine. Just spent twenty minutes looking for the glasses on my face.'
Rosie: And that got a laugh.
Deb: A good one. I kept going. Then I felt hurt nobody noticed I wasn't fine.
Rosie: Sue did ask. What did you wish you'd said?
Deb: I've felt lonely this week. Somehow, that sounded a bit much between tea and biscuits.
Rosie: You can tell one person, in one sentence. It doesn't have to become the whole evening.
Deb: I think being funny is how I earn my place. What if I'm no fun?
Rosie: At the pub quiz, Sue passed you the pencil when you offered an answer. She made room for you.
Deb: We came seventh. I still felt part of it. She wasn't booking a comedy act.
Rosie: How could you go back to her question?
Deb: 'When you asked how I was, I made a joke. Honestly, I've felt a bit lonely.'
Rosie: That gives her something real to respond to.
Deb: I caught her after the next rehearsal. Nearly started with the glasses again.
Rosie: What happened?
Deb: 'Bit lonely, actually,' I said. She suggested walking to the bus stop together. We talked all the way.
Rosie: No performance required.
Deb: Exactly. I could just be a person having a mixed week. Turns out I'm still allowed a biscuit.
Rosie: If you'd like to talk something through with me, try a free chat at Lonely No dot com.
