Do me a favor next time you're doing something alone and you start to feel anxious, like people are judging you for doing things alone.

And try to think of one time that you've ever seen someone out doing something alone and you've thought, what a loser, where are their friends?

You've never thought that, I bet.

I bet you've never thought that.

I bet you can't even think of one stranger that you've seen doing something alone ever.

I bet you can't even remember that because it doesn't matter because you don't care.

People care more about themselves than about you.

Not in a mean way, just in a human way.

We're not paying that close attention to what other people are doing.

Now let's imagine the most stressful case scenario.

Somebody is paying attention to what you're doing.

I can almost guarantee they are not thinking to themselves, what a loser, where are their friends?

Instead, they're thinking, that's so badass.

Look at them eating at this restaurant alone.

Look at them reading their book at this coffee shop alone.

Look at them shopping alone.

Look at them taking a walk in this park alone.

That's badass.

That's girl boss.

That's independence.
