How do you feel about eating out alone? I ate lunch out by myself today. It’s still not something I like to do, but I am getting better with it.
It's not my favorite way to eat but I'm becoming more comfortable with it. How do you feel about seeing a movie or a play by yourself?
Relaxed & happy, and i get there early to see the trailers,which saves me a lot of money, lol!
I actually enjoy it. The fact that I don't have to make small talk is such a relief...
Gosh I hate small talk....
I'm good with it so long as I have a book.
@Stevil bwahaha!
When I plan to eat out alone , I take a book to read .
Exactly
I’ve always got my phone with me.
I enjoy it. I'll people watch or read as others have mentioned.
I think it's more common now that most people have a smartphone, so they can pretend to be texting someone so other diners won't think that they're a friendless, bitter, outcast from society.
? So that’s why I stay on my phone when I’m eating out alone.
Why the concern/feelings of strangeness?
I eat out by myself. I prefer to have company but I like to eat out so somtimes it's just me and my phone!
Getting more commfortable with a person we love is a great sign of healthy individual development comfort in my book. We are often our best company, given the typical peer landscape.
I like to keep a book close by for just such occasions for intelligent company and inner discussions of things worth the exercise. It is, however, always better shared with a person or persons who are stimulating. Unfortunately, its also all too rare.
Keep up the evolution!
I like to eat alone and equally enjoy company. Alone I can read or take the time to practice mindful eating. You need to eat, enjoy it. If you are uncomfortable I recamend a little shift in thinking. Your happiness need not be dependent on another person, if someone joins you they should simply be adding there happiness to yours but either way you have yours... kayaking is also something I enjoy differently on my own, and I usually bring lunch
I don't particularly like eating out anyway, and I am not much a people person. howerver I have spent time alone in a coffee and tea shop with a book quite often. I get left alone and I'm good with that. There has been literally no time in my life that I have lived my myself and having time alone like that... to me it's absolute bliss.
I quite like it, I usually take a book - I think My own company is preferable soemtimes to listening to other people criticising everything on the menu etc. I feel like I am really looking after myself and able to choose stuff with garlic in etc. Way to Go!
I do it almost everyday and play candycrush plus check out this website.
