You'd think as an only child I would be ok doing things by myself, but I have huge problem with eating by myself. It's never been done. Honestly, I think when I've been forced to eat at a time when none of my friends were there, I have made friends with strangers just for the sake of having dining companions. (That's so weird, now that I think about it. What is so wrong with having a quick meal by yourself?) I don't even feel comfortable seeing someone else eating by themselves and if I know them even vaguely I'll call them over.
I'm not comfortable waiting at a table for too long by myself, either. I need to wait til someone's there so I can begin eating. Forget solo trips to the movies or out on the town...
I'm great at shopping and running errands by myself, though, b/c you're moving around and are absorbed in what you're doing. Sometimes I prefer it that way if I have important things to do.
But when I was up at school this year I was never ever alone. Like for anything at all. There was always a sister or roomate who had to go to the same place you did. So it kind of felt like I had no time to myself b/c I was always with someone or always had to be somewhere. Understandably, I'm taking a break from everything this summer!

ps: lol, when I read the title of this thread I thought it would be about single parenting, like "Can you go it alone?" Parenting by myself...something else I could never do!
