Loneliness in Art Asylum is a sad horse who has been left behind in the stables when all the other horses have gone out with their riders. Maybe his rider is a bit late. The horse will not be lonely for long. Nobody in Art Asylum has to be on their own for long. If you feel lonely there is always an companion oncall ready for you. But what if the oncall companion is one you cannot relate to? Worse than being lonely is being alone with someone you cannot abide. It happens sometimes, even in Art Asylum. Idea is that in Art Asylum you can be on your own when you want to be and have a companion when you want one. Dogs are popular as companions. In the daytime you can always find a dog to go for a walk then maybe you meet others out for walks with the dogs and exchange greetings. Or maybe you come across an art therapy group sketching or painting. And you can get to know people by joining therapy groups. Most of the groups are based on activities so you work with others and get friendly like normal folk. There are opportunities to talk about your problems but we like to encourage people to get interests that are independent of their problems so they have something else to talk about.
