by ChichiI find it hilarious who my friend reacted when I told her that it is becoming a habit of mine to eat lunch alone when I am in the office. She was appalled and I could just see it in her eyes how pitiful it sounded to her.
It might have been really pitiful, especially for those who are used to being surrounded by people. I normally eat lunch with a bunch of people in the office. But I always drown out their senseless chatter, gossiping about the very people they work with.
And then I tried eating lunch alone and it brought me so much peace. Now, I am thinking of ways on how to avoid those people and spend some peaceful time alone.
Do you think eating lunch alone is pitiful?

No, but I like being alone a lot.
When you’re at work, sometimes it’s just nice to go sit alone in silence and enjoy that silence. Most workplaces are so busy and hectic, I can’t imagine why more people don’t just want to relax.
Though, admittedly, I do enjoy hanging out with people I know or work with sometimes, because it’s just a nice way to calm down for a bit and loosen the mood.
Then again, I’m just as likely to cuddle up with a good book or video game.
