Yes, there is a whole category for people who suffer from this.

It’s also one of the reasons I often hear people use as a reservation to traveling solo.

We are human and of course breaking bread amongst community can be such a heartwarming thing, but so can dining alone.

I in particular love doing the later, because it allows me to fully enjoy my dining experience and just sit in the moment.

That however, can be a bit scary for some.

Yes, I mean, find a fantastic restaurant you have been eager to try, and book a reservation for 1!

We live in an age where technology is a true distraction from human interaction or its potentiality. Putting down that phone down leaves room for spontaneous moments and lived opportunities we might not expect. Be open to this.

It is ok to enjoy your food without a million people to chat you up. Sit with your thoughts, people watch, enjoy the sights, etc. Through solo dining in public, you are having a communal dining experience in an atypical fashion.

Restaurants and patrons love a reason to celebrate. So why not let your dining community celebrate you. You’ll feel less awkward and more like a celebrity!
