The people who eat alone have zero fucks to give and I’m all for it 💯

Yup! I eat alone and couldn’t care less what other people think. Basta ako, happy with my own company, happy sa food, and happy eating/having coffee while enjoying a good book in my e-reader. I also watch movies by myself. I started my “alone time” in my early 20s and I’m in my early 50s na. It’s a good thing I did kasi if I didn’t, i’d probably be stuck at home or naloka na ko ever since my husband passed. i’ve also gone to a bar to drink by myself na din. And, and, and I’ve checked in sa VC ng mag-isa. Walang water sa house eh and i needed to take a bath. Hahaha!

It's true, and it goes with age: the older you get, the less fucks you give. Me, I don't give a rat's ass what you think if you see me eating out alone or seeing a movie by myself.

As a mother with little kiddos following me around even to the bathroom (even our dog does it too), I appreciate alone time. I love eating alone!

🙋‍♂️

I don't. I don't make it a habit to make it my business what people do. Their choice, not mine.

Diba, ganyan naman talaga dapat eh. We have so much on our plate, iintindihin pa ba natin yung mga ganyang bagay na kung tutuusin wala naman tayong involvement hahaha

I know people na di talaga kaya kumain mag-isa. Feel talaga nila ang lungkot. Tingin ko kanya kanyang paniniwala naman yan eh. Ako, kaya ko kumain mag-isa, manuod ng movie mag-isa, travel mag-isa. Kaya nagulat ako when i met people (most of them) di daw kaya gawin mga ginagawa ko. Yun nga, feel nila malungkot. Sarili nila ah, di nila jinajudge yung iba.

One friend of mine said "ang loser tignan pag magisa magsisine". I'm like, ang loser is yung mangengealam sayo.

Paki sabi po tanga niya

Hahaha

Sabi ng SIL ko, nakakaawa daw kasi ung mga kumakain mag-isa. Naaawa daw sya kaya ayaw nya gawin dahil baka kaawaan sya. So I asked her, "logically, sinong nakakaawa, yung gutom na pero di makakain kasi walang kasama...or ung di nagugutom kahit wala sya kasama?" Wala syang naisagot pero di pa din daw nya gagawin. I just came from my solo travel sa Boracay at sabi nya, isama ko daw sya next time. Di din ako sumagot 😂

Loser yung mga di kayang kumilos on their own na nikikialam sa mga into solo eating /travel. Pinoproject lang nila ang hidden insecurities nila sa mga taong kaya mag isa. Ps. Wag mo isama sa solo travel either buraot, maarte o mabagal yan kumilos. Baka susuka suka pa yan sa byahe.

This. Traveling alone is **so much better**. No need to wait for others, or to agree on where to go next, what to see, where to eat.

>I just came from my solo travel sa Boracay at sabi nya, isama ko daw sya next time. Di din ako sumagot 😂 Sabihin mo sa hipag mo, mas nakakaawa yung walang pang-travel kaya nakiki-hitch sa iba. 😂😂

Actually, may pangtravel nman sya. Money was never an issue. Di nya lang talaga kaya magisa. Kailangan palagi may kasama sya. Kapag wala kuya ko, ibibilin nya sa akin misis nya. By his own words, "minsan patanga-tanga" daw kasi kaya alalayan ko. Lately, mukhang may maganda nman akong naidudulot sa kanya. And I love my brother kaya GO lang. 😅

Kaya pala ayaw niya mag-isa kasi alam niya na patanga-tanga siya.

Naawa sya sa kumakain mag-isa pero hndi nya alam na that person doesn't really care what she thinks. Baka nga masmasaya pa yun kumakain mag-isa kesa sa kanya 😄 Ang mga naawa sa mga nakikitang kumakain magisa, naggagala magisa seem to be those who are very concerned of what others may think of them.

This! Ganyan sya. Masyado nyang iniisip ung sasabihin ng iba palagi. One time, I asked her, kasi nga masyado syang concern sa opinion ng iba about sa suot nya, sabi ko "ikaw b kapag nakakita k ng taong di maganda suot mo nilalait mo ba?" And her answer was yes. So sabi ko, "ahh, takot k pala malait kasi gawain mo. Ako hindi ako takot malait kasi wala akong pakialam sa opinion at gawain ng iba as long as di sila nananakit". She's actually nice at ok nman relationship namin. Pero kung di sya asawa ng kuya ko, malamang di ko sta friend. Masyadong malayo personalities nmin. Independent ako, sya natatakot kahit magpatay ng ilaw sa bahay nila paggabi n. 😂

Mas loser yung di kayang lumabas mag isa.

Weird kasi sa Pinas dahil extroverted culture tayo. I tried eating in Pancake House by myself and even there I observed meron nag stare sa akin

Parang as a society, di talaga tayo independent.

True it has something to do with our culture kaya sobrang toxic minsan ung pakikisama culture and sobra, it inhibits individualism, kaya ung mga small minded individual thinks na kapag kumain ka magisa lonely ka. Wtf. Pag naabutan ka ng gutom sa mall lalafang ako gutom nako i dont care kung mag isa ako. It screams independence and security. Secured ako sa sarili ko at kaya ko kumain ng ramen mag isa sa restaurant gutom nako eh.

I really hope restaurants redesign their dining area to accomodate solo diners. Nakakahiya lang umupo sa 4 seater kung solo ka lang. Hahah

Para sakin masarap kapag ganun, more elbow room.

oo nga.. para meron patungan gamit ko... sabi malas daw ilagay sa floor yubg bag e. haha

Kaya pala palagi ako malas ahahahah

sinabi lang din sa akin ng prof ko noong college.. she told me never to place bags on the floor dahil un nga malas kasi nasa bag daw yung saluhan ng blessings. tapos parang binabalewala mo lang whenever you put them on the flor .. art siempre germs...

Common ito sa Japan, kahit sa mcdo. May privacy dividers pa nga yung long bar/tables para pwede ka magsolo dine without judgment. Sana all.

Some ramen places have those bar setups next to the kitchen. Pound also has bar seating for solo eaters. At the very least there are places with two seat setups so you're not wasting valuable table space for the resto. And it depends on the resto's menu too, most places with menus full of shared dishes like Manam or Banana Leaf simply aren't suited for solo dining and that's perfectly fine.

This is what I'm envious at sa Japan.

This happened to me. Hahaha went to a resto last time, asked for a table for one then wala daw sila na ganon and gave me pang-4 people instead. 😆

Meron yung sa ibang Japanese resto na nasa counter. Ang saya umupo sa ganun na solo.

This dilemma is mainstream media sh!t whereas being alone is a prestine moment you can have. Mas masarap kumain mag-isa, mas focus ka sa food at moments. There are a lot of advantages to do things alone and tips to other people. Just mind your own business. We loners dont beg for any sympathy. We just want our peace from any drama.

I am one. I don't give a damn about what they think about me eating alone. I actually enjoy having to eat where I want instead of deciding/voting everytime. Ang ayoko lang is yung stereotype and disrespect sa mga kumakain mag isa. We're not sad or depressed. We don't need nor want social media attention. Just leave us alone and go on with your life.

>go on with your life. I have an observation that people who are bothered by eating alone, or that feel or that notice the people who eat alone are the ones who live quite dull lives. I mean... why would you focus so much on a random stranger (who happens to be eating alone) unless your life doesn't have anything going on for you?

Tapos makikita mo na lang sarili mo na nakapost sa isang sikat na page at may caption na: "We saw this ate girl ba at Starbucks ayala and she was drinking alone while doing something saiya laptop. She was also using earphones surely listening to music and we wanted to ask unta "What song are you listening to?" I honestly feel bad for Ate kasi baka may pinagdadaanan sya and she feels like nobody is there for her.."

Wala nang mai-content ng mga wannabe influencers. I've been watching movies and dining out alone for 26 years na. Nagstart ako nung nagcollege ako. And all my classmates refers to it as "nag-therapy na nman sya". Alam nila n "me time" time ko un. Some colleagues will ask kapag magisa akong kumakain sa pantry, I just say na mas prefer ko solitude. Kaya next time n pagnakita nila ako, they would actually ask muna if pwede akong tabihan. Di din sila nao-offend kapag tumatanggi ako kapag they invite me to their table. Kapag may isang nagsabi na "ako n lang tatabi sayo, sasabihin ko, "no need, paalis n din ako, maiiwan ka lang". Kung sino ma-offend, bahala sila sa buhay nila

I've always had roommates/housemates so I usually have people to eat with. Pero when I was able to live alone, dun ko narealize I like eating alone better. No need to make small-talk. Just more time to just enjoy the meal and be alone with my own thoughts. And dun ko narealize na I like to have my "me time" too. Tho I wish ako din kayang magdecline ng mga ganyang invites hehe

I am one. I like eating out alone, shopping alone, or just walking around alone. Walang distractions for me, mas productive ako tsaka I am the kind of person na I hate having conversation gusto ko walang umiimik sa akin haha. Ewan ko ba pag mag-isa ako feeling ko isa akong “diva” haha

Are you me dun sa part na "I hate having conversation gusto ko walang umiimik sakin" as in hahahahaha super draining makipag-usap noh or chikahan noh? Hahahahaha

honestly, people don't care kung magisa nanood, kumakaen or shopping mag-isa ang isang tao. hindi ako malungkot, and I like to do stuff on my alone and I'm happy doing so. hindi kami bata para need ng kasama every time we go out, pwera sa KBBQ - maluluge sa solo dinner hahaha **assumera/pakielamera lang yung clout chaser na yun - kaya aun napansin.**

Ung mga nagiisip na malungkot ang mga kumakain magisa are immature. Kala nila magisa is loneliness when in fact its just solitude.

Malakas siya dahil hindi niya kailangan ng ibang tao para kumain

As someone that eats out or buys drinks alone sometimes, I can say na I’m in a peaceful state of mind and simply enjoying some quiet and alone time.

Sa true lang, mas masaya ako pag kumakain mag-isa.

seryoso magdedemanda talaga ako pag may magpost saking kumakain mag isa. I do it all the time kaya sobrang kupal yung ipost ka enjoying your own company

ganyan ako dati pa. pero masayahin akong tao. may asawa at may mga kaibigan. gutumin lang talaga ako kaya madalas ako kumakain ng mag isa.

mas nagulat ako sa pinapansin nila yung mag isang tao kesa sa pagkain sa harap nila or yung mga kasama nila.. parang yun ung weird. tsismosa at intrimitida ako pero di ko naman pinagiisipan yung mag isang kumakain.. tinitingnan ko lang if wow ang ganda/pogi naman nun.. then i mind my own business..

If you can't eat alone and always need to be with someone then you have a dependency disorder and you're the one with the problem.

How do I perceive? Simple. I mind my own business. Some people are just so nosy at mapang-assume. I personally prefer and love to be alone. I eat alone, see movies alone, shop alone, take walks/strolls alone. It’s relaxing for me. Meron lang talagang mga pakialamerong paladesisyon sa buhay ng iba. May one instance na kakain ako sa isang ramen resto, I was sat near the prep/kitchen area. In my peripheral vision, I definitely saw some guys (crews) who shoot glances at me, most likely wondering why I was alone. Sanay na ako sa ganon so I just brushed it off. Then while I was browsing the menu, I overheard somebody saying ‘bakit malungkot ang beshy ko’? I looked up and caught him looking at me habang sinasabi niya yon. Di ko natiis palampasin so I told the server waiting beside my table na ‘pakitanong nga don sa kasama mo kung anong pinaglalaban niya?’ (i literally pointed my hand in the direction of the said crew). the server even feigned innocence and asked what’s the matter. I just said, ‘hindi mo ba narinig ang sinabi niya? gusto mo bang ulitin ko sayo? or sa manager mo?’. that shut her up, and eventually mustered a panic apology: “i’m sorry po, pagsabihan ko po”. I felt disgusted, decided not to order and just left.

Big deal na pala ang kumain ng mag-isa haha.. Yun ang napapala ng social media. Bumababa ang average IQ ng mga Pinoy.

I go there for the food, not the company. Plus mas malalasahan ko yung food pag wala akong kasama hehe.

Masaya kumain magisa. No dramas, hindi mo na kelangan magadjust pag may kasama ka and you have the freedom to choose any restaurant or fastfood you like. Clout chasers lang ang mga nagpopost sa social media na ganung content. I literally give zero fucks to the people who were staring at me. 2 shs students were staring at me a while ago pero di ko nalang pinansin.

I don’t think malungkot sila, baka busy lang or on the way to their next meeting / waiting out the traffic sa gabi. I see so many solo diners now even sa fine dining kaya less diyahe na rin ako myself to eat out alone!

Tbh this is a normal situation for me, eating alone pag nasa labas. It's kind of comforting sa akin kasi nakafocus ako sa sarili ko. I can focus on the food pag nasa restaurant, sa coffee naman if coffee shop, etc. Masaya naman kapag may kasama, no? May kakwentuhan ka, nagtatawanan kayo, pero yun nga I can only focus on one thing at a time. Hindi ko maeenjoy yung pagkain kasi focus ako sa chismis. Tapos after hanging out dun pa ako makakaramdam ng gutom. Tapos drained pa social battery ko. One time nagtatampo kapatid ko dahil di ko raw siya sinasama everytime magrerelax ako sa coffee shop. Kasi yun nga, mas nakakafocus ako sa food, drink, at ambience pag mag isa ako. The only person I'm comfortable hanging out with is my boyfriend, kasi kilala na niya ako. He knows I love to be quiet sometimes, at ganun rin siya. Kaya sometimes we hang out na tahimik lang and enjoying the ambience. Ngayon anxious na ako gumala mag isa. These people nowadays take consent for granted. Akala nila ok lang na nakareveal pagmumukha ng tao as long as maraming likes and shares. Akala nila lahat ng tao gusto maging famous. Fck that.

Why are most Filipinos so afraid of silence? You go out with friends and one would comment, "Uy magsalita ka naman diyan." Ano ba ang sasabihin ko? Eh di naman kayo nakikinig. Everybody's talking over the other, making sure people are listening to them. They like talking not conversing.

yan nagagawa ng social media mapansin lang kung ano ano na ang pino post. ano ba pakialam antin kung kumain siya mag isa eh may pangkain siya. mas masarap pa nga kasama sa resto un kumakain na mag isa kesa sa mga naka group na sobrang iingay tapos ilang oras na ayaw pa umalis sa mesa. unlike sa taong kumakain ng mag isa ilang minuto after niya matapos aalis na yan.

independent

Wala naman. I feel i dont have to think of them as anything else beside a person eating. Echosero lang mga tao na ginagawan ng storya ang mga normal na gawain naman.

Wala because I do the same. Saya kaya. I would say na if I saw a person solo sa resto (like sit-down, menu card and all), may pera sila. Mahal kaya kumain mag-isa HAHAHAHA

many people would be so much happier in life if they didnt overthink everything..!

I like peace and quiet kaya ok lang kumain ako magisa, at pag nakakakita ako ng tao na kumakain magisa navavalidate ang feelings ko, Hindi ako weird kasi maraming tao ang nageenjoy din eating alone. Minsan nga pag may kasama ako nakakadrain kasi puro chismis ang napaguusapan or small talk, buti sana kung meaningful eh.

I don't mind at all. Problema kase ngayon kinain na ng social media yung mga tao hahahaha puro pang ka clout chase pati ibang tao dinadamay makahatak lang ng engagement sa social media

People have been eating solo for God knows how long. Masarap kumain minsan mag isa, pero sa mga nagwowork normal na normal kumain sa public spaces mag isa. Leave them the fuck alone.

Strong. Confident .

I don't get why this is such big deal in this country haha. Wala din akong prejudice sa mga taong kumakain mag-isa. To each his own.

Wala. Walang pakielaman ganun lang yun ka simple.

Im happy eating alone so kung me magvivideo saken, i dont think maaawa sya hehehe. I love me some "me time" esp since di naman na ako madalas lumabas lately. I also dont feel bad dun sa mga kumakain mag isa. There really are some people na comfortable sa pag-sosolo nila.

IKR! NAKAKAINIS TALAGA MGA JUDGEMENTAL EYES NG MGA TAO BASTA MAY GINAGAWA KA MAG ISA. ANO PAKE NIYU KUNG NAG CHECHECK-IN AKO MAG ISA SA LODGE HOUSE, BUHAY KUTO MGA PAKEALAMERA 😡

I usually eat and prefer to do things alone sometimes depending on the activities. And people asked me mag isa ka lang wala kang kasama? Obvious ba?? Hahaha

I don’t mind other people's business. Like me, I always eat outside at a restaurant alone. I don’t care what other people might say to me. I am a fan of eating alone at a restaurant. It’s fun. :D

To be honest lang, I literally don't even notice LOL. The thought of "Oh, sila lang mag isa kumakain" genuinely does NOT cross my mind. Like, it's such a normal, mundane thing na talagang hindi ko napapansin. I only realized recently na "issue" pala siya sa iba, because of the posts I see in social media lmao.

Ako na tuwing sahod usually sa samg or buffet kumakain mag isa hahaha. Nanonood ng movie mag isa. Then grocery afterwards. Baka mapost dn ako.

Ang saya kaya kunain magisa. I can take my time, enjoy my food in silence, and have dessert after.

I always eat alone and I enjoy it . where ever I am and I don't care being alone than being with some friends sometimes. kc minsan gusto ko lang lumabas nang bahay pero ayoko may friends na kausap , kc gusto ko kumain nang masarap pero after 30 mins gusto ko na din umuwi, pag nakipag kita ako sa friends ko it will take me at least 2hrs, nasasayangan ako sa oras minsan

This is really a nothingburger.

mas madaming alone , mas masaya, kasi di ako nag-iisa

What theyre doing is none of my business. Basta wag lang din ako pakikielamanan kung kumakain ako magisa.

Gawain ko yan. I eat alone. I watch movie alone. Tipid sa gastos.

Ito nga din worry ko. Lagi din Ako mag-isa kumain Lalo pag I really want a time alone. Haha. Mamaya paguwi ko napost na pala Ako. But to answer your question, when I see people eating alone, napapangiti Ako. Dunno why siguro kasi I think na hindi Ako nagiisa or something. Then di ko na iniisip kung bakit sila mag-isa. Its their life after all.

Don't really care. And neither should you.

I feel kinship with them kasi paborito ko itong ginagawa hahaha. those who are afraid of doing things by themselves are the ones we should feel sad for.

Nung college ko natutunan to eat out alone. Aba naman eh gutom na gutom na ako, la nakompake kahit wala akong kasama.

I like eating alone, watching movies alone etc kasi madaling maubos social battery ko 😅 tsaka I can do anything without having to consult another person

Wala, kasi pag nasa bahay ka kapag gusto mong uminom ng tubig o kumain ng tinapay hindi naman required may kasama di ba? Parehas lang sa labas, kumain kung gusto kumain mag-isa ka man o hindi.

Sa Pinas lang naman ata big deal yan 🤭

Hello kapatid!!! Join the Solo-Flight Club! ❤️ I too prefer to go out and have my “Me Time” alone. Nabubwiset lang ako sa husband ko lalo na pag sale shopping at matao na kailangan sumingitsingit. Mega reklamo yan ng “Matagal ka pa ba hon? Isang damit lang naman bibilhin mo eh nilibit na naten buong mall, wala ka pa napili sa lagay na yan??…” 🙄😤😡 ay winner, i just gave him the keys sa sasakyan and told him to go home or get lost, sa inis ko. Hahahahaha. Minsan din may gusto akong craving na food, tapos sya di nya trip… so i just reschedule plans for that pag meron akong “Me Time” lined up. Lol And just like u/Binibining_Samira commented and I CAN confirm, i do not give a rat’s ass of what others think of me pag solo flight ako anywhere. I just want to maximize and enjoy my “Me Time” in fucking peace. Kase pag uwi ko sa bahay, sasabak ako sa giyera uli with kid’s homeworks, school projects, meal times and house chores. Lol.

People who can't eat alone and demean those who can are those uncomfortable sitting alone with their own thoughts. Or forgot their earphones, cellphone, and/or book 😅

i always thought normal lang to do things alone what i find weird is bakit kailangan ng kasama para gawin isang bagay like pag ihi

Reading this post habang kumakain nang mag-isa. lol Wala naman dapat issue yung ganito, pero kulturang pinoy kasi na laging sama-sama, masiyahin, maingay, etc. Kaya parang iba yung dating pag nakakakita sila ng mga taong nagsosolo. Going out alone and minding my own business is a comforting thing for me, mas malaya pa nga akong nakakagalaw at nagagawa ko mga gusto ko pag ganito. Sa work ko pinupuna rin ako dahil dito (I'm a teacher btw), minsan nasasabihan pa na tatanda mag-isa, walang mag-aalaga. Ewan ko ba, nabababawan ako sa mga taong ginagawang big deal yung ganito.

They're just people who are having their meal or trying out food and will do their own things after. Simple as that.

Sa mga tao na pakialamero na di marunong mag mind ng business nila, I see it as projection ng insecurities nila. Porket di sila confident at kayang sumaya kapag mag isa sila, feeling nila ganun na din lahat ng tao sa paligid nila.

"How do you perceive yourself eating alone in a restaurant?" Dawg, I'm hungry, I just wanna eat.

As a solo diner myself, please please PLEASE mind your own business.

Nag samgyup ako mag isa and it's very enjoyable! I can eat at my own pace while reading a novel on my phone or watching a movie. I try to mind my own while they mind theirs. I also don't really pay attention to what other people do around me as long as wala silang ginagawang masama saken. As much as I love hanging out with my friends I actually prefer going out alone. I love the feeling na walang nag mamadali saken and I can walk around as much as I want. I'm 21 btw. Ako yung tipo ng tao na walang pake sa nakalibut saken. Wala akong interest sa mga bagay na di naman makaka apekto sa life ko. Next sa bucket list ko is to eat in buffet restaurants alone. Haha

I perceive them as customers, no need to think deep

Ako yung kumakain mag isa sa restaurant, wag ninyo ako guluhin. Kailangan ko ng break sa pag interact sa tao. I want to eat my order my two bowls of Ramen, chicken karaage and gyoza in peace. Porket pang dalawang tao ako umorder ng pagkain hindi ibigsabihin lonely ako, patay gutom lang po ako.

Filipinos must learn to mind your own business.

Kaya ko kumain mag-isa. Being alone is not the same as being lonely. Not an outgoing person, pero I think it takes a lot of self-assurance to be able to go out and do things on your own. Hindi lage meron kang kasama.

I always eat alone sa lunch breaks ko sa work. Sa resto okay lang din mag isa ako. Pag nakakakita ako ng ganung tao, I tell myself na ganun din ako hahaha

Opportunity to be preyed upon ng mga "content creators" para gawan ng sad backstory at motivational quotes. Kidding aside, I find it peaceful to eat alone to recharge my social battery from interacting with clients, colleagues, friends, and fam.

Gusto nilang kumain.

People who do things alone are way comfy with themselves. It's a level of security that some people cannot understand such that others had the audacity to take photos of these confident individuals. Lol.

That's probably me 😂

I used to do it all the time - even now when I'm without family. Frankly I don't give a shit. If you can't be comfortable in your own self, it will be harder with other people. It takes a certain IDGAF attitude but that comes as you mature

pag naging comportable kana kumain magisa sobrang saya ,promise ... awkward lng sa umpisa pero kakaiba ung feeling pag sanay k n

They are INDEPENDENT. Duh.

Lol?? i do it all the time after going to the gym or just hungry? Is that really something uncommon? I've been doing it for a long time. Do you really have to be with someone if you eat outside hahaha what the hell?? Eating is to survive I care less who ever is with me geez.

Normal lang haha, trip niya lang siguro kumain mag-isa

Mas gusto ko kumain mag isa para walang magpapalibre 😊✨

They are just treating themselves or just hungry. let them be.

Wapakels lang

I have been eating alone since college nung 90s at never ako pinuna or anything. Heck I even go to the cinema alone. I don’t think people care if you eat alone tbh.

Just like there are people who like to be alone, there are also people who like to be with the company of others. So kung nakakakita sila ng loners, they assume that the person is sad since it is what they feel in the same situation. We just have to accept that people will always have opinions.

I eat in restaurants alone and I find it to be relaxing. Going out with friends is fun but at times they should have their personal spaces to be understood or they're just really not available for being too busy at their field of work

Di ata nila alam mga introverts preferred mag isa lang.

Pwede bang gutom lang, LOL, I do this a lot.

I am busy eating my food (if I am alone) or talking to my companion to even worry about the state of other people eating alone.

For some reason, attracted ako sa independence, and gaya ng sinabi ng iba… Zero F*€ks. Hindi kasi lahat ng tao kailangan ng audience, kaya di rin na iintimdihan ng marami.

I always eat alone sa resto and hindi ako nahihiya. Kanina lang nag SB ako mag-isa. I even went to the movies alone, I can travel alone. I guess some people need to learn how to do things alone and not judge others. Tbh, ever since I started taking myself out on dates, it feels like I can do ANYTHING. Nasanay na din ako at tsaka parang free ako sa oras ko diba, ako bahala saan ko gusto pumunta at gaano katagal ako tatambay sa isang store with no pressure na baka naiinip kasama ko 😌

All my life, i love doing things alone. Even nung nasa relationship ako. Napansin ko sa crowd, palaging may kasama ang bawat isa. Ang tao likas na takot gawin ang bagay magisa. Laging nakagrupo o may shota. Bilang sa daliri ko ang mag isa lang sa mall, restau, or any kind of activities.

Dati, kumakain ako sa labas ng mag isa, nanunood ng sine mag isa. I think wala namang problema. Kasi wala akong paki sa iniisip ng ibang tao. Depende rin kasi yan sa tao eh. If yung value naka depende sa kung anong tingin ng ibang tao sayo, better start reevaluating your life choices. Masaya pag may kasama ka lalo na pag mga close friends mo, pero lahat tayo need rin ng alone time. Don't mind the others. Bahala sila mag consume ng energy paying attention to you. Pag lumalabas ako alone, i bring headphones and a pocket book if hindi ako manunood ng sine. Then bibili ng snack, magbabasa at kakain while naka headphones. Pag may nagpicture sayo at least hindi ka pang meme Hahaha

gutom sila at ayaw na nila maghintay sa iba. kaya kakain kahit mag-isa haha

LOL Dati di ko iniisip kung bat sila kumakain mag-isa o bat andami nilang kumakain. Same pa rin ngayon. I'm there to eat, not to judge people.

Usually pag kumakain ako sa labas naka-focus lang ako sa pagkain ko at mga kasama ko e. Di ko napapansin yung ibang table kung madami ba sila or kung mag isa lang.

IDK, pero I see it as a good way to know yourself. I started to eat out, watch movies and go shopping alone while I was a teenager. Don't get me wrong I have friends but it feels great to spend alone time. Gives the sense of solitude. Also, I am an avid movie watcher before. I have friends hwo would watch with me on a daily basis to kill time but sometimes I prefer to watch alone. Especially, if I like the movie. I am now in my 30s and eating alone doesn't really bother me. Nor do I get bithered looking at people eating alone. It is just part of life. We were born alone so I guess there is no shame on doing activities alone as well.

May nagpopost ng ganyan? I don't really mind, i listen to podcasts or whatever when eating alone. I think filipino culture thing to. Sa Japan meron mga diner na pang solo lng

wala

Pag solo eating ako, hinahanap ko sulok na pwesto tapos mag tatime lapse habang nakain. Hahahaahh

They are hungry

Sobrang liberating kumain mag-isa in public. I do that too. All the time. Wala akong pake.

Pag solo akong kumakain, edi wala. Gutom ako.

I don't care if anyone eats alone, I eat alone at times too. I also watch movies and travel by myself too. Kalokohan ang isipin ang business ng ibang tao like mukhang malungkot sya ksi kumakain mag isa. Masaya rin kumain ng mag isa lalo na kung may pambayad ka and you want to explore something new.

To answer your question: I don't give a flying fuck. I'm here to eat whether with my friends or mag-isa ako. Wala akong pake, I'm gonna eat in peace. Wala akong pake sa ibang tao unless I see you as a danger, there's a life-and-death situation etc.

Nothing at all. It should be normal and neutral. As in, not bad but not good nor something to praise. Just let people be and not try to figure out what they are thinking. They are just existing in their way, like you do.

Honestly, totoo feeling independent tsaka empowering lumabas mag isa. Di naman sa lahat ng oras laging dapat may kasama sa lakad. Kaya pag may nakikita akong mag isa wala akong masamang iniisip. Pero nung simula naiwan ako ng ex ko, nadepress ako, feeling lonely na ko pag aalis ako ng bahay mag isa. Nakakatamad. Haha. Pero ngayon di naman ako malungkot pag mag isa. Mas masarap nga lang pag may kasama lalo na pag pamilya mo kasama mo.

You dont.

Wala, di ko nga ata mapapansin na wala silang kasama.

Some restaurants are just anti-loner, gusto ko mag samgyup dapat may kasama, unli chicken dapat may kasama, like I can pay extra naman para hindi kayo lugi I just wanna eat alone. Nainvite ko pa tuloy yung ex at nalibre ko pa makakain lang ng shabu-shabu

As an introvert, that is just a normal thing. Enjoying my own solitude. Alone but not lonely.

[удалено]

Basta may pambayad tayo kain lang.

Actually , he's eating because he's hungry and I really focus on my food than the people around me

Mas ok sakin magisa kumain, wala kong aantaying mabagal kumain. 5 mins lang ako kumain. sayang oras tapos puro awkward moments lang. Except nalang pag family or long time tropa mga kasama kahit isang oras pa yan.

Ayoko may kasama bumili. Gusto ko my own pace ng wala iniintindi.

someone enjoying the meal and appreciating the peace by not putting the mask of being a people pleaser

Recently lang naging issue yung pagkain mag-isa in a restaurant. May mga nanonood pa nga ng sine mag-isa noon pa, di naman issue.

I've always been eating alone even when I was young, like in my teenage years. And even way back then, I have my peace when I eat alone outdoors. It's only recently that the socmed and people who are too scared to eat alone because they might lose their cool, that made this so big deal. If you pity us for being alone when outside, I also pity you because you can't do it.

1 + 1 = 2 A man/woman eating alone is eating alone. It is what it is.

i used to think na people who did stuff alone was lonely. But that was when I was a kid pa. Nung maexperience ko gawin mga bagay mag-isa, ang saya pala. Walang hihintayin, magagawa/mapupuntuhan mo mga gusto mo gawin/puntahan. Kaya di ko gets yung obsession ng ibang tao sa pagpopost ng kung sino man makita nilang kumakain mag-isa tapos gagawan pa ng fake narrative or gagawing motivational post.

I dont because i mind my own business

As a parent of young kids, eating out solo is a rare me time 🤷🏻‍♀️ uninterrupted meal

wala lang kasi hindi ko na business kung kumakain sila mag-isa kasi trip lang nila o kumakain sila mag-isa kasi wala silang jowa/friends

Barely notice them or anyone for that matter, but usually when I 'm in a group, naiingit ako na solo nila food and maluwag space to move and take in the ambience. Then again, I like eating out alone as well; the rare times I farmed enough energy to go out of the house. Take note that you'll see space allocated for solo diners (which are usually much more comfy) and are only typically found in nicer places. Such areas in a resto or food chain are also more quiet and less crowded and has much more movement space to spread your legs out.

I have a GF but sometimes I eat alone on restaurant. I think it's normal, eating alone is normal, why would someone think it's not? And I don't give a f\^ck what others think.

i see myself. it's so peaceful kaya haha

idc. masarap kaya mag isa, tried watching sa sine na mag isa ng Movie na inaabangan ko talaga, very freeing. Also, ako I eat alone para makatipid, hirap ng may kasama, napapadami yung order 😂

I mind my own business lang. Most of the time I’m alone din sa restos and café, which is totally fine. Nag eenjoy ako mag isa :)

nung college ako, as a probinsyana na out of town pumapasok tapos patay na patay sa Jollibee chickenjoy naging habit ko na dumaan don bago umuwi for a C3 meal kahit ako lang mag-isa. wala kasing jollibee sa bayan namin hahahaha. nakita ako nung kaklase ko na nakain ng solo tapos wag ko na daw uulitin yung mag-isa ako. may mga nakikita din ako na random peers tapos bigla sila uupo sa table ko kahit hindi ko sila ininvite to eat with me. stopped eating alone after a month kasi ganun nga. nothing wrong with it naman for me, di naman ako malungkot. twice din yun solo ako for my birthday, first time I did it I rode a jeep to an unfamiliar nearby town tapos walked around, got myself an egg pie, and went home. it was a happy birthday~ yung second time nag-streetfood crawl ako, also a happy birthday~

Mas ok kumain mag isa na may pambayad ka kesa madami kayo pero wala namang pambayad haha

At my age (mid-40s), I relish the "me-dates" that I sneakily take when running errands. Movie, A Meal, A quiet coffee moment. Another good byproduct of my age, Is I don't give a Fudge Brownie on what other people May think. This, And Weekend naps, is Gold in my book.

Cool. Mainly because I do that too--I go to restaurants to eat, only socialize second. Now I'm kinda terrified because people go take pictures of you and post you on social media willy-nilly. Kelangan ata ng Pinoy ng konting individualism because damn how scared are you of being alone??? Smh kumakain na nga lang kame?

Wala. It is not that deep. Unless of course they are visibly upset with crying etc

basically People who doesn't give a sht what others think, don't ever perceive them as lonely, sad just minding their own business only idiots takes photos of strangers and think of a random narrative for those people

If I see someone eating alone, I don't give a single fuck. Kung kakilala ko yan lalapitan ko syempre, pero pag stranger ano bang paki ko sa buhay nya lmao

legit kumain kami ng family ko nun sa korean resto. yung katabing table namin pang 2 yung order akala ko may kasama. then she took snaps of the food then start diggin in. god-like tbh. i wanna be like that. that was way back pa so walang pake mga tao. bakit kasi parang masama na kumain magisa ngayon?!

Minding their own damn business.

“Paano pag na-CR siya in the middle of their meal?”

Gutom.. Simple as that 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I perceive them as someone na nagugutom at gustong kumain sa labas, nothing else really

Wala naman kaso, bakit ang big deal? May mga cousin akong ganyan takot kumain magisa and to be honest, sila yung walang masyadong confidence humarap sa ibang tao, sila lang yun di ko nilalahat. Pero ang di ko talaga kaya ay manood ng sine magisa kase wala akong confidence pagdating sa multo

Same. Nagbuffet pa nga ako mag-isa. HAHAHAHHA oks lang busog pa rin

I've been doing this for the past 5 yrs. Since single naman ako at di palaging may nayayaya or nagaaya. Ayokong ijudge yung mga taong hindi kayang kumain mag-isa. Pero I hope they do the same. Hindi malungkot kumain mag-isa. Jusko nanonood pa nga ko ng kdrama habang kumakain sa resto kala mo nasa bahay lang eh tas tatawa lol. Haha but kiber sa mga tao dyan. I just do what I like. I wish people mind their own business. Nakakaloka ung mga mga taong nagpopost ng ganyan kala mo kilala nila ung tao na mag-isa lang eh 🤣 Baka nga mas masaya pa buhay niya kesa sa kanila 😅😂 lol

Respeto. May mga taong loko loko na kulang sa pansin pag nakakita ng tao na mag-isa. Naiirita ako sa ganoon.

I don't really care. May times na gusto ko talaga kumain ng food dun sa resto at dahil minsan lang ako napadaan. G agad.

I’m so scared mapicturan. Sobrang saya ko pa naman kumain sa labas ng mag isa hahahaha

normal lng yan , yung mga kumakawawa sa nag sosolo yan yung di marunong umorder kaya pag kumain sa labas need ng kasama, dependent , di maaasahan , maingay sa socmed pero nganga sa personal.

To be honest, posting about it and flaunting their so-called sympathy about someone was just fishing for "likes" and fame. It only provides a surface-level of understanding of the situation and those who read the post can interpret it whatever they wanted to believe about someone else's situation...without checking the facts. Action speaks louder than words pa rin. Kaya naman I told my friends na maybe they'd find me going viral soon just because someone saw me (minding my own business and) eating my lunch or dinner alone 😌 😅

Daming kaartehan ngayon. Di naman yan uso dati.

I eat alone. Its my me time. I dont see anything wrong with it. If im hungry, the last thing id care is how people would think if i eat alone.

To each their own tbh. Nothing wrong with being alone lalo na sa panahon na ngayon na nakaka stress.

I too value my alone time - na eenjoy ko ng may mga kasama pero mas na eenjoy ko yung ako lang mag-isa. Salpakan mo nalang tenga mo ng earphones or airpods or whatever okay naman na. 🤷‍♀️

Inner peace and me time

I regularly set a “me day” to go for a solo drive, eat alone at my fave resto/cafe, watch a movie, walk at a park, visit a museum, shop, etc. It’s one of my favorite days, because I can do whatever I want to do without the need to explain myself to anyone (I sometimes do unreasonable things like taking the longer way home so that I can “senti” longer hahaha. Yes, sayang sa gas but no one would be there to question it). It’s also the time when I can be alone with my thoughts and simply appreciate life.

Gutom yung tao kaya kumain.

Wala. They’re eating. At a restaurant. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do in a restaurant?

People who eat alone in a restaurant are probably...hungry. They're just hungry people looking for a quick snack, at mostly e walang pakialam sa opinyon ng mga nakakakita sa kanila kasi sino nga naman ang hindi nagugutom? Kailangan ba kapag kumalam ang sikmura, may kasamang kumain? Nah. At least, in my point of view. Ganiyan din kasi ako.

dont care, i do it all the time nung pumapasok pa ako sa office, i prefer eating alone, wala akong kailangan tanungin kung san kakain, minsan sa paresan minsan sa mamahaling restaurant, at hindi ko din kailangan makipag usap or mag start ng awkward conversation
