Stand on the outside of the floor till the lights convince you more and more and the music shows you. Alone in your seat amidst a fleeting community.Īnd then, take yourself out dancing to a club where no one knows you. In fact some people at full tables will wish they were where you were. You’re no less intriguing a person when you’re eating solo dessert to cleaning the whipped cream from the dish with your finger. When you are comfortable with eat lunch and run, take yourself out for dinner. Resist the urge to hang out with your cell phone. Employees who only have an hour and their spouses work across town and so they - like you - will be alone. Where you will be surrounded by chow-downers. Things you may have previously (electric guitar plucking) based on your avoid being alone principals. No one will think less if you’re hanging with your breath seeking peace and salvation. If you’re shy you could hang out with yourself in mirrors, you could put headphones in (guitar stroke).Īnd there’s public transportation, because we all gotta go places.Īnd there’s prayer and meditation. You’re not supposed to talk much anyway so it’s safe there. Where you can browse the stacks and smell the books. Where you can stall and read the paper, where you can get your caffeine fix and sit and stay there. We could start with the acceptable places, the bathroom, the coffee shop, the library. You’ll find it’s fine to be alone once you’re embracing it.

If you’ve not been alone much, or if when you were, you weren’t okay with it, then just wait.
