i cant eat alone even having breakfast,lunch and dinner as well.I would often invite my friends eat together.Its totally different when you having foods with your friends. There a lot of fun and enjoyed.I feel weird if i eat alone because people at surrounding would judged me not a friendly person. However, some would like to eat alone and they don't other people disturb while they enjoyed their food. Do you can eat alone? Please feel free to share your experience...

It is impossible for me to eat alone at public place..for me that is kinda weird and you are right, it really make others feel that you have no friend! I had tried that before, when you are eating and have no other things to do...you may feel that everyone is looking at you and that really make you feel embarrassing. Usually I will take out my hand phone typing massage to friends or pretending I really busy with something else when eating alone in the public place. If I can't get my friend having meal with me, I prefer take away and eat at my own room with some tv shows.

ya .. you are right ... using hand phone to pretending as we are busy is an effective way to cover up loneliness. However, its just a extrinsic but intrinsic still feeling alone.So, start from now we should get more friends to eliminate our loneliness.

Haha, are you using the same technique I used? using the hand phone try to cover loneliness? I prefer having my meal with some friend that I normally with. I already get used to them and that makes me feel comfortable when having my meal. Getting more friends eat together..it seems like too "crowded" for me, when I wanted to say something, I will get confuse whether which one should talk to...usually when there is too much people eating together, they will just focus on eating or talk with some one who are really close to..So I rather be alone for a while...and stick back with my friends..

I don't mind eating alone and do so often, but I also like eating with friends, and even strangers. Sometimes when I'm eating alone and I see someone else who is eating alone I will invite them to join me. Sometimes I also do this when I'm eating with someone else but see someone eating alone. And sometimes I just enjoy eating alone and thinking or reading a book or the newspaper as I eat.

i only eat alone if i have no choice. for example i'm in a place wherein i don't know anyone and i'm already hungry, i would eat alone. but if i'm at home, school or office and i know at least one person there that i could have lunch or dinner or breakfast with, i'd rather join them than eat alone.
