Alright, so this took me way to long to figure out, so hopefully this will help someone who is struggling with the same issue.

Your WP users are linked to the email address you assign them. You can use these users to reply to comments on your website, but they will not have a profile picture. Instead, there will be a gray outline of a person (which is not very appealing).

In order to add a picture, you will have to use: https://en.gravatar.com/

From this link you will have to sign up or log in to your WP account with the email associated with the user you use to comment with. Next you will upload a picture. This picture will now be associated with the email address of your WP user.

You did it!

Hopefully now your comments section looks a little nicer, since you are no longer a gray figure.

Hope this helps someone!
