I used to be one of “those” people. The thought of having to sit down alone and eat a meal used to put me in a mild panic attack. But slowly, over the years, I’m finding it more and more acceptable to just chill, by myself. I’m actually not that bad to hang out with, but a number of bad relationships and bad choices on my side always made me think I was no fun to be alone with. It’s taken time, but I’m getting better and better at liking myself.
If you are one of “those” peeps, don’t stress. Spend time alone in little doses. Like a cup of tea first, just you. You’ll find out that it’s really not that bad. Being alone doesn’t have to be lonely. I do think I may be crossing the line when I start talking out loud but hey, everyone knows I’ve always been a little more special than others and it works for me.
Go on, try it, have a meal alone. You’ll be surprised by what you find out about yourself.
