Jon and martins loneliness is so interesting because Martin’s the one touched by the lonely and confirmed to relish in it, even though plenty of people like him and he’s actually relatively personable of a guy if not pathetic. But Jon is so utterly alone in the world (dead parents he doesn’t remember, a grandmother he claims never liked him much, no close friends, no anyone) and he’s so naturally prickly that it seems he’s almost keeping it that way on purpose. Not to revel in it like Martin does, but because it’s right. Because it’s always been that way and he deserves it.
To Jon it’s ‘I am alone because I deserve to be and I will make anyone who doesn’t see that see me for the fuck up I am even though it hurts. I am awful, but I am not a liar’ and that’s so interesting
