Why are people so afraid to eat alone?

[You Win Perfect]

I love sitting at a bar grabbing a beer and a meal to my self. Don't gotta feel the need to be entertained/entertain someone else

same here, after work I stop by a bar sometimes.

Why would I drive myself to a restaurant just to eat by myself , I might as well order takeout or cook atleast I can watch tv/a movie while I'm eating.

 

[semtex]

I'm tryna eat da ass like a hobo on a ham sandwich

 

[jackswstd]

[infamousred]

food is wonderful. i give a fukk less if somebody is there to enjoy it with me or not.

 

[Box Cutta]

i eat alone all the time, not sure why people are scared to do so.

I go to movies by myself as well. Not sure why people act like they need someone else to have a good time.

Adding drinking and smoking to this list.

I'm too much of a daydreamer to spend too much time with others anyways. I'm good with my thoughts....

People gotta keep up appearances.
The bigger the illusion, the more people want it. And the more they want it. The more real it be comes. It's bullshyt.

Sorry, I started saying one thing and ended up quoting Wall Street.

Or American Hustle.

The coli (like most message boards) is comprised of introverts, naturally there is a groupthink negativity towards extroverts. There's nothing wrong with someone who would prefer to eat out with other people, introverts who hate on extroverts are just as lame as extroverts who hate on introverts. Neither personality type is superior and THIS IS COMING FROM AN INTROVERT

I understand not wanting to go to a nice, sit down restaurant by yourself. I get that. But what about the regular spots like Five Guys or Sbarros or the restaurants in the Food Court at the mall, yall saying yall wouldn't sit down alone and eat a slice of a pizza?

If I'm in really good shape I'll be more inclined to do it
I guess its a maturity thing, don't mistake it for morals thats different

 

[King Poetic]

i do it all the time

ill sit in a booth with my phone or newspaper or watch tv if the place has one and chill

i go to the movies by myself especially if its a movie i really want to see and make sure its a early movie so i can avoid the fukking talkers.

people want to act like they some fukking celebrity so they can validate they are so popular cause others see them with somebody

Technically, there is nothing wrong with eating by yourself.

But from a personal perspective, I could never do that. I mean what would people think?

 

[DaRealness]

I've always looked at it like this: If a group of people are really looking over at someone and so concerned about that person eating by themselves, then they either need to invite that person to sit with them since they care so much, or just mind their business. When I'm out with people, the last thing I'm worried about is what some miscellaneous person in another part of the room is doing. On the flipside of that, when I am by myself, I feel more in control and will usually read some shyt on my tablet or smartphone and not concern myself about other people I don't even know.

Eating at Hooters by yourself or a place where your waitress is good looking

Majority of the time they'll strike up a convo or might even sit down with you

Underrated experience
