I remember when I was younger, before smartphones invaded my life, I told my friends that I could not bear the thought of me dining alone in public. It somehow reminded how lonely I was. I even felt embarrassed with the thought that people would be judging me, like “look at how sad that fat girl is at that table, eating all by herself with no friends.”
Now that I am much older, I actually find that funny. Because…
One, there is nothing wrong in being fat.
Two, who cares about what other people thinks, they don’t know me anyways & even if they do, they should mind their own business.
Three, who am I anyways. Nobody could care any less if I’d be eating or not, let alone giving two fecks whether I had company to eat with.
Four, now on the other hand, I actually find it pretty cool with the image of me dining alone. Just me enjoying my own company, minding my own business doing my thang – listening to podcasts, taking selfies, people watching, playing mobile games etc.
Besides, I am a great lunch/dinner buddy to have. So, it’s only fair I get to enjoy my own company all by myself alone =}
