    On the same note, going to the cinema alone or eating out alone. If you want to go with someone and can’t find anyone, that’s sad, but I only bother with a movie ticket these days when it’s something I really want to let soak in. That works just as well alone, if not better, and my family doesn’t have the same taste in movies as me. For eating alone, it could get old if it were all the time, but sometimes just a book and me and some food that’s better than I could easily manage, it’s really nice.

      Once I started having to travel for work and was forced to eat alone, it took the stigma out of it for me. Now I just pretend I’m a traveller in my own city when I want to do something alone. Frankly, I’ve started to prefer it.
