It suddenly struck me that Dawsey is a lonesome person. I think it may be that he has always been lonely, but he didn't mind before, and now he minds.

About This Quote

When we feel lonely and we can’t find a way to fix it, we often try to find someone to be with. This is exactly what happens in the episode when Dawsey finds himself alone. He tries to make friends, but realizes that it is not going to work out. When Dawsey sees his father walking with a friend, he decides that he doesn't want to be lonely anymore. In addition, when he finds out that his father is planning to get married, Dawsey knows that he won't have the same connection with the new family member.
