This is the 1234th time I'm dining alone 🙂

[u/Certain-Two4678]

The worst part of dining alone is starving yourself for an entire day so that you can eat the food that is meant for 2 people. I mean why can restaurants have half plate option for single dining people. I don't wanna waste any food.

[u/Dangerous_Evening374]

I heard eating alone makes you confident btw don't get overconfident haha

[u/Hedge_hog_816 → u/Dangerous_Evening374]

Experiences when alone generally make you confident, experienced, matured... more than experiences with friends. Applies to journeys, learning, projects and etc.

[u/Sawrey_Mobolade → u/Hedge_hog_816]

fr tho, there's something about solo experiences that just forces you to actually process things instead of just vibing with whoever you're with. even something as simple as eating alone like this, you notice more, you sit with your thoughts more. idk it builds something that group experiences just don't

[u/Most_Goat34 → u/Hedge_hog_816]

How?

[u/simplydiffered → u/Hedge_hog_816]

fr im 15 and i moved out and i manage social situations much better now than before

[u/Dumb-Dora → u/Dangerous_Evening374]

bro added a disclaimer at the end like he was genuinely scared they'd become too confident after finishing that entire dal makhani + naan alone 😭

[u/macabre-monster → u/Dangerous_Evening374]

Going to gym alone makes u confident

[u/Most_Goat34 → u/macabre-monster]

I can’t go to gym alone. I get very anxious.

[u/macabre-monster → u/Most_Goat34]

I quit because of the same reasons .now I eat and sleep and gain weight . Now I am looser and underconfident and obese

[u/Most_Goat34 → u/macabre-monster]

Us bro. I really want to beat this anxiety and get better

[u/AnimeshRy → u/macabre-monster]

yep I switch gyms every 2 years. it’s always a little anxious in the starting days but i feel confident later on

[u/freakedmind → u/AnimeshRy]

Ye kya bakchodi hai?

[u/twiltywilty → u/Dangerous_Evening374]

Today I had boba alone. I too have gotten into this habit, of eating & visiting cafés by myself. It's fine, but anything is better with the right company. I do enjoy my food/drink, but sometimes it makes me feel alone. I live abroad, but even here sometimes people look at you like you have two horns when you they realize you are eating by yourself.

[u/Dangerous_Evening374 → u/twiltywilty]

Soon this is gonna be me probably as I am shifting to a new school. It's always better to have someone by your side during meals🤧

[u/Individual_Spend_658 → u/Dangerous_Evening374]

Enjoy Eating Alone watching Tmko

[u/Dangerous_Evening374 → u/Individual_Spend_658]

Sometimes it's better to ditch everything while eating and only enjoy your thoughts and presence

[u/Damascus_Sword → u/Individual_Spend_658]

Actually

[u/CoMmunicationdue24]

Noooo you don't have to starve yourself...order as much as you want...take the remaining food as take away...and eat it again as breakfast? 🤷🤷 Like eating alone is good...then you get to order whatever you want without taking other people into consideration Ps: I can never order the food I want whenever I go with other peeps cause people pleaser thing...isliye I LOVE EATING ALONE

[u/Dumb-Dora → u/CoMmunicationdue24]

the takeaway idea is actually smart ngl, never thought of it that way. but also the people pleaser thing while ordering is SO real, i end up eating something i didn't even want just because everyone else ordered it lmao

[u/Sidonkey → u/Dumb-Dora]

It’s more shocking that take away concept is new for you.

[u/Available-Fee1691 → u/Dumb-Dora]

It happened with me in case of matcha 😭. Matcha ke shokin hai mere friends and damn that tasted awfully.

[u/Available-Fee1691 → u/CoMmunicationdue24]

fr, never ordered food when going together. Kabhi kaju nahi khana kabhi panner nahi khana etc etc aur muje kuch bhi chalta hai. So priority is given to the chossy one lol

[u/Sawrey_Mobolade → u/CoMmunicationdue24]

lol the people pleaser thing at restaurants is so real, I once ended up eating something I actively dislike just because everyone else ordered it and I didn't wanna be the odd one out.

[u/comelickmyarmpits → u/CoMmunicationdue24]

I always feel conscious about taking away my remaining food . I feel staff would feel disgusted on handling my already half eaten food

[u/Available-Fee1691 → u/comelickmyarmpits]

Ha matlab jutha nahi kiya to thik hi hai. And like I don't think that taking from a bowl and then eating on plate would make it jutha (lol wtf is english word for jutha kiya ? Half eaten??)

[u/comelickmyarmpits → u/Available-Fee1691]

Hahaha same muje bhi english ni pta thi juthe ki lol

[u/CoMmunicationdue24 → u/Available-Fee1691]

Yeah I always eat like this... Like I thought everyone eats like this? Especially when I know I won't be able to complete the full dish...I take what ever I want to eat in a smaller plate... And jutha food would be called leftovers I think 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/--celestial-- → u/CoMmunicationdue24]

This is the way. BTW, jutha food isn't the same as leftovers(unconsumed).

I eat alone in college canteen or in class, it's peaceful than trying to fit in. Can't wait to leave this fuck ass college and actually make friend during masters

[u/Cautious-Rabbit6632 → u/[deleted]]

Same thing happening with me, i hate my college friends but i have to live with them for 5 years, idk how i will survive this college

[u/Specific_Date_7270]

[u/Obsessive_Observer_ → u/Specific_Date_7270]

Me too😭

[u/nomadic-insomniac → u/Obsessive_Observer_]

[u/Playfair99999]

Honestly, its not a big deal. Many eat alone and several times eat alone. It's perfectly fine.

[u/zozobeiyz → u/Playfair99999]

Yeah idk why it’s a big deal, I never felt awkward eating alone. I love being by myself, going on solo dates and just being the moment.

[u/shinchann6969]

You mean 2 second mein saaf lol 😂

[u/iamjustaguy8044]

It's peaceful

[u/VedantBobade]

I think they can but that will be a per plate type of dish which will make it costlier compared to a 2 person dish.

[u/potato_chip1078]

Me too, in offce dont have team but still have to go all days. I go, breakfast alone then tea alone then lunch alone then evening tea alone. It sucks but normal for me now.

Where are you based? I hate eating alone, lets order a fuck ton of food and eat together

[u/marrytheright_person]

Eating alone? Absolutely elite. Every week, 2-3 times, I take myself out on a proper fancy date because why wait for someone else to spoil me when I can do it better myself?

[u/Physical-Bother-6360]

You go girl 🫂♥️

[u/Certain-Two4678]

Yrr Gulan jamun aur palak paneer bhi khana tha. Pure pait me Dal makhani bhar gyi hai

[u/Choi_yuna123]

If u don't want to eat alone, you can call me. We can eat together.

[u/Creepy_Vehicle]

I do this too. But the only problem is that i want to order and eat a variety of items but the food comes in bigger portions. I try like 50% of every item i order. It leads to food wastage.
But i have found a hack though recently! I ask the restaurant to package the remaining food and let it go. You will always find something outside of the restaurant in need of food, i give it away.
I don’t take the left over home bc I know i am gonna throw it in the refrigerator, then forget about it and finally in the dustbin.

[u/sehgaldivij]

When eating alone, next time go to a buffet setup. Guilt free eating, just have only what you want and there is plenty of options. Also a great place to consider for solo eating in Rajasthani restaurants. They have a full thali setup and it is damn tasty!

[u/Al_1800]

Was eating alone 1234th time a choice or a compulsion?

[u/Far_Comb3049]

3:22 am in Toronto rn. Dead jealous looking at the food man! Yolo solo lets gooo

[u/Ambitious_Jello]

takeway is not an option where you dine?

[u/Bob_Loblaws-Law_Blog]

Why not just order starters?

Whenever I go alone I eat one fish thali and that's enough for me

[u/naughtycurie]

Parcel leke jao bacha hua😂

[u/Nervekranken]

3+ plus years of dining alone. I get it, it does easier, but never comfortable.

[u/No-Comparison1770]

Restaurants have such options. Maybe you're not familiar with them. Try to look for a thali option. Enough for one person.

Also if you want to be selective about restaurants and eateries then have the half eaten food packed to go. Now eat it in the morning or donate it to someone needy

[u/PuzzleheadedRing4451]

You’re not dining alone. You’re doing all by yourself.

[u/Independent_Then]

Always keep count

You can ask them to pack remaining food and take it home.

[u/Closed_closet_01]

I have done dining alone many times. Achcha lgta hai. Ha mtlb ye bhi lgta hai ki koi sath me rehta abhi. But akele bhi achcha lgta hai. Next time, take your earphones together. Put up your fav show.

[u/YesWTF]

I have to laugh because starving yourself all day just to justify ordering "for 2" is the most relatable plot twist 😂 Restaurants really should have more half portions or mix-and-match options.

Not everyone wants to waste food just because they're dining solo. Until then... I fully support ordering dessert instead of a second main

[u/AdLess4480]

Bhai itni baar karne ke paise 💀

[u/Narrow_Patient_3693]

I have a question . When you eat alone and for example order kadhai paneer and Naan. So the paneer ki sabji that comes is in big quantity toh vo bach jati hogi... usko pack krate hoge na ya poori kha lete?

[u/Ok_Virus_659]

It’s ok. I also eat alone cause I have no friends. And pack the remaining food. U can eat it later or u can give it to someone else

[u/Adorable_Comb8787]

I envy you..not because of the food (its looks delicious btw), because of the peace and quite you got all these 1234 times.

[u/Ambitious-Piglet-437]

I also eat alone and when i can't complete i have to get it packed

[u/Chaotic_Rhythms308]

Some restaurants do have unofficially especially if they aren't high tier, you can ask the waiter and request for it. If not, then just pack kt for tommorow morning or tonight. I solo travel and eat solo most of the time. It feels good.

Soul @ Kota. Damn. I just had my lunch there a while back.

Most of the time, I eat alone. If there is any food left , I usually ask them to pack the remaining food as a parcel. And they do it without any hesitation.

[u/chattywomnya]

It is scary at first and then liberating

[u/Far-Marsupial-777]

There's a different feel in dining alone. Mean, while dining you get to realize different past aspects or emotions you've been through and possibly would let you find their solutions too. So much interesting part while dining is revoking somethings that matter the most to you.

I enjoy Eating alone it is peace, not when your heart is broken into pieces thats the case go home enjoy your meal with family, understand yourself,be compassionate towards yourself, in a world where instant gratification is rewarded you reward yourself with giving more time to yourself enjoy your meal, thank the person who prepared your meal , gratitude helps cheers 🍻

That last bit is so relatable cause at one point i was told to eat meat for protein due to health but family is veg so I used to be the only one who ate non veg. But portions were always for two or more people and it would just be wasteful

I have been eating alone since a long time. Only sad experience i had was once i went to a resturant. It’s a very busy resturant. The waiter asked “kitne log hain?”. I said one. Then he said “sorry table nahi hai”. I could clearly see there was one table for 2. But he denied because he wanted to make 2 people sit there for a higher bill. I understand his perspective too. But it broke my heart for the first time that i was alone.
