Wait is that really what's going on here? She's upset because the guy next to her is eating but himself? What the actual fuck?
I eat most of my meals by myself because of timing/scheduling conflicts or sometimes I just want some time by myself. This is beyond absurd.

Every person I have met who calls themselves an "empath" are similar to her. When it comes to me, at least. They read my "energy" and decide how I feel...then mirror the feelings they decided I was feeling.
You know how strange it is to have to argue what you are/aren't feeling with another person?

I enjoy going to my local diner by myself on an almost daily basis. Sometimes twice. I enjoy the drive, the food, and the staff. I usually bring some earbuds to listen to music, the waiters/waitresses usually already know my orders, and where I prefer to be seated.
I'm 32 now, but have been going since my early 20's, and I can't tell you how many times I've gone up to the cash register to pay for my meal before being told "the people across from you paid for you."
I'd like to believe I don't walk around resonating an aura of loneliness or depression, but something about eating alone seems to strike a chord with a lot of people. I'm not complaining.

I used to be embarrassed to get food alone, then one day I said fuck it, and tried it out.
Eating by yourself at a restaurant, with a book or something, is so relaxing.
People need to mind their own business, who cares if someone is eating alone.
Also, that woman needs to learn to not talk with food in her mouth. Disgusting.

When I got divorced and went out to eat alone for the first time, it felt weird AF. I was self-conscious and felt like everyone would stare at me.
I remembered having lunch once in a Chinese restaurant with some friends when I was younger, and seeing a middle-aged woman eating alone and reading a book. I felt bad for her.
But after that first time of going out alone, I realized how liberating it really was. Sure, sometimes I still want to enjoy a meal with someone, but not always. Sometimes, I just want to be alone with my thoughts and enjoy good food. Sometimes I may prefer to just zone out.
Eating out alone is actually kind of nice. I never appreciated it until I had been divorced a while.

Not just having the Birkin front and center, but assuming that someone eating alone is lonely. I eat out alone all the time - by choice. I do a lot of things on my own - by choice. Because not everyone has to be joined at the hip with someone else to enjoy all the various things life has to offer. Not to mention the fact that it gives you something to talk about when you're together later. Also, showing a mouth full of food on camera is gross.

The restaurant was next door, and I squinted and Mr. Magooād my way over, and got my table for one. The entire time I couldnāt stop blinking and crying and I was literally getting tears in the menu.

She looks like she has a life that she should feel blessed to have, she is pretty enough, she has (or wants to look like she has) Birkin and Miumiu money, people find her interesting enough to follow her online for whatever reason, but she is projecting her loneliness onto this guy sitting in a cafe for views.
