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.
That's admirable.
That's cool.
So I think it's all about realizing that your fears about how you're being perceived are irrational.
That can be incredibly helpful.
And from there, I say practice makes perfect, okay?
The more you do it, the more comfortable it becomes.
And you will enjoy it eventually, you know?
But anytime something's new, unfamiliar, it's a little bit uncomfortable at first.
Be patient with yourself.
Practice makes perfect.
The more you do it, the more you go out and do your own thing, the sooner you'll get comfortable with it and it'll just become second nature to you.
