Part of me is writing this article to convince myself, but just in case you feel a bit iffy about eating alone too, this one's for you.

1. No rush.

You can eat as slow or as fast as you want and no one is there to rush you!!

2. People watching.

Who doesn't love to sit in public and just people watch? It's more entertaining than you'd think.

3. Alone time.

Sometimes for your soul you just need to eat a meal in peace. Don't argue me on this one.

4. The conversations around you.

Sometimes it's fun to just go out and public, eat alone, and do a little eavesdropping. It can be interesting what you hear. Plus, it's free entertainment. Just like people watching.

5. No small talk.

Small talk is really only done to fill silences anyway. It can be tedious and awkward, especially if you don't know the person too well. Eating alone doesn't involve this, which can be a stress reliever at times.

6. Good company.

You're bound to have a good time. You know it, I know it. You know during your meal, you're going to be nice to you, inviting other people doesn't necessarily have that guarantee. Sometimes it's best not to take that risk.
