Just Skimmed Through STORMS

i don't think she meant literally "alone" - being afraid to be alone like having to sleep with the nightlight if nobody's around.

the way i understand it is - alone as having nobody in your life at specific times, nobody to come back home to. Lindsey has definitely not been alone in the last decade and a half, since he started a family.

and at the time he was with Carol, they most of the time had one or more of his male friends living or at least constantly hanging out with them - including Richard.

same when he was living with Stevie, they had tons of struggling musicians around in their apartment at any given time it seemed.

so i don''t see "he had to have a gf so that he's not alone" argument being very valid.
