The 'I Am So Lonely' meme originates from the webcomic 'Conquest' created by AJHerrick. It features the character Conquest, known for his god-like power but profound social isolation, sitting alone and expressing his deep-seated loneliness. The image resonated with internet users due to its blend of high-stakes fantasy character design and mundanely relatable emotional vulnerability. It is frequently used in a hyperbolic sense to describe the feeling of being left alone for short periods, the social vacuum after an online session ends, or the irony of having power but no company.
