Abstract
Interpersonal disconnections, social withdrawal, and loneliness are often precursors to depression and suicidal ideation. In the film It's Kind of a Funny Story, the plot describes a protagonist who has become so relationally desolate among family, friends, and peers that he has taken delight in the thought of ending his life. The main character eventually overcomes his overwhelming feelings of aloneness after engaging in random encounters with people he eventually befriends and becomes intimate with. This movie review correlates the boy's recovery with principles of relational-cultural theory—spontaneous and creative interpersonal connections that foster healthy relationships and belonging.
