Not Coping

Hi @creative_writer

Thank you @tyme I am trying to make the right decision. I thought I was getting better but pdoc is not thinking that at all.

Hey @Eve7

How are you?

Anyone got any tips on how to cope being a a cafe on there own. Is it just me or my antics through the roof. I’m on my own at a cafe and I choose to go after work because I am starving but I’m on my own and feel like everyone is judging me even though they probably don’t give a crap and even notice I am here.

Well done for stepping outside tour comfort zone @Birdofparadise8. It’s definitely not easy. No one would have been judging you. Even though you think they are. It does get easier the more you do it. Just know at your age there is no way I could have done it!

Im proud of you!

Hi @Birdofparadise8

I had a song for you when you got home from work. Unfortunately I crashed early and went to bed...

I go to cafes all the time on my own. I'm still a little self conscious. Though nowhere near as much as I used to be. Thoughts of what other people may have of me sitting alone do occur. But so does the fact that I can't help what they want to think, so then those thoughts go away...

And then there is just me... And my coffee... And the decor... And the ambience... And lights... And the noises... And whether there's too many scuff marks on the table?.. And those nice shoes over there which the other person sitting alone is wearing... And the woman with gorgeous hair... infact, alone in a Cafe can be a busy occasion!!

Or if I'm the only customer inside; the room and I have fantastic conversations about past, present, and future! My coffee sings baritone for us while we dance our story - all without my elbows leaving the table...

Thank you @Captain24

It felt very strange, but once I ate, I left. I didn't need to stay any longer than needed.

That's good to hear @Kyle1 you really do have a way with words though.

The more you do it, the easier it becomes @Birdofparadise8. Think of it as a recovery exercise.

Right okay I will @Captain24

How are you this morning?

Hey @Birdofparadise8 @Captain24 @Kyle1 ,

I'm passing through to say hi to everyone 🙂
