Which one do you prefer especially when lunch break during working hour? Do you like to eat in group with colleagues or eat alone? I prefer either one at different time. When I am stressed up on that particular day,I would like to eat alone and relax my mind from all the noises. But when I have something to share and in good mood,I would like to eat in group to chit chat with colleagues. How about you? Please share with me,thanks.

In the office I do not sit with my colleagues for lunch but rather sit alone. But at home I can never sit alone and eat. I need company while sitting for my meals.

I don't really have a preference. It doesn't make much difference to me either way ^_^ groups are nice when I go out, because by going ouit I've decided to be social. Most other times I quite enjoy eating alone, because it's peaceful and quiet, and some just me-time which I don't often. Time to just really savor the food and the moment, you know?

I prefer to eat with my friends and co-workers, it was too sad eating alone,and don't know but I feel somehow that people was staring at me or kinda feel sorry that I am alone or something like that, it was quite uncomfortable. Unlike when I am with my friends, it was quite enjoying to eat, and got a chance as well to chit chat with my colleagues. But there are times, that I chose to eat alone, like when I have a problem and want some time alone to ponder things.

I'm the same, depending on my mood i eat alone or as part of a family or group. If i've had a hectic day i prefer to eat alone and unwind from the stresses of the day, if its like a family get together or a friends party then obviously its nice to eat as a group and socialise over your meal

I prefer to eat with colleagues or friends during lunch. That is one of the times where we can bond together not just because of work but because of our developed friendships. We can discuss so many things even topics outside of our work environment, even those experiences of people we don't personally know. It's fun to chat during lunch breaks and share thoughts with friends and coworkers. If its not possible, i also eat alone sometimes though.

I usually eat with my friends when i am in school. I don't want to eat alone when i'm not in our house. I feel so lonely when i'm eating all by myself. But if i'm at the comfort of our home, there is no big deal for me eating alone. Sometimes i would stay long enough at the table eating my meals...^_^...

It depends what mood I am in but most of the time I eat alone. I spend some time with them only if I feel like. Sometimes I feel happy alone eating because actually I miss my usual lunchmates back in college. Maybe I still need time to adjust here.

Of course I love eating in group, because when your alone, looks like you don't want to be disturb.

eating in a group is really fun!! we do all the chit chat together when we eat!! eating alone is totally in totally out of my dictionary!! when in a group we get the opportunity to share whatever we have brought on that day!! having fun while eating is really something that we cannot get in anything that we do...

well for me its nice to eat with others, you can exchange some ideas, hot news and other important things, and talk bout some funny things while your eating, but sometimes like you said, your not in the mood to talk but its okay, you can still eat with the groups rather than eating alone, cause maybe they can get you in the mood, right??(^^,)

Of course with group .. more fun & interesting especially if someone bring some issue to talk about. If having it alone the time seems so slow to move and it's become miserable yeah, if nobody accompany me for lunch i rather pack it.

Usually I like to eat alone. Eating in group is a noisy affair while eating alone can provide me a quiet environment for deep thinking. Have a nice day!^_^

I like to eat in a group. This way you have some conversation while at the table.
