Today, feeling bored and lonely, I drove into town to wander around the shops and go to Subway for lunch. While there, I picked up two trays and put one on the opposite side of the table, along with some of my rubbish, to make it look like I was with someone. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I ate out, even though I was tired. When my main course arrived, I realised I had sent both my forks away with the starter plate. Rather than say anything, I ate dinner with two knives. FML
Today, I managed to not think too much about how alone I feel living in a strange city, and I went out to find a quiet place to write and eat. After I ordered my meal, I saw that I was the only diner that was sitting alone at a table. Then "All By Myself" came on the radio. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Today, I decided to make new friends, so I sat with the lonely guy at lunch. Now he keeps following me, with his phone in a camera position. FML
Today, I ordered takeout. When I looked in the bag, I saw they'd included four sets of plastic cutlery. In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, then estimated that there must be at least four people eating such a large meal. I was eating alone. FML
Today, I was getting a pedicure to cheer myself up. I've been so lonely, I got overly excited when someone sat next to me, because I got to pretend I had a friend. FML
Today, I felt so lonely that I went on an online chat website and pretended to be a girl just so someone would talk to me. FML
Today, I went to the drive-through and ordered 5 cheeseburgers. I told the cashier that some of them were for my girlfriend. I don't have a girlfriend, and I ate all of them by myself. FML
Today, I took the time to make myself look nice just so that the pizza guy would think I had a life. FML
Today, I was so lonely that I had a conversation with myself on my way home. It was only when I reached my apartment complex that I discovered that my neighbour had been walking behind me, laughing to himself the whole way. FML

Since when are people so obsessed about trying to impress random strangers? Who cares if you're alone or with someone?

McDonald's is better. I go to a lot of places by myself, not that big of a deal.

#27, just as long as you didn't brag to your coworkers about your hot date at a fancy restaurant,...like Chili's ;)

If you act like you have someone with you when you really don't, you're never going to make friends. The people around you that notice you are pretending to have a friend are gonna think that you're trying to not be bothered or that you're crazy. The people that really believe you have someone with you are going to assume they shouldn't encroach on your time with someone you know. There are nice people in the world that would sit with you or talk to you because they saw you alone.

Humans aren't solitary creatures. Sure some prefer solitude, but being alone all the time can wear a person down.

The people have spoken, it's ok to be alone at times. Its more embarrassing to pretend to be with someone than to be alone.

Nobody cares if you eat alone OP, so getting the trays was unnecessary. I do it all the time, despite the fact that I hang out with people regularly as well. Sometimes it is good to be alone for a while.

Sometimes I prefer to go eat alone! Just because I am hungry doesn't mean it has to be a big production!

Try getting a job. That sorts of keeps you busy.
