Yeah, working on my self-worth and confidence and that it's okay to be alone in a public place.


BEG, I think you sell yourself short, I believe that you have a tremendous amount of confidence....on here you know exactly what you like and don't like and are very sure about yourself...just continue to BE YOURSELF and act upon your gut feelings....if you think you should do something then do it.....

at least that is my 2 cents...for what its worth..

That is something I would be very anxious about.  I see people by themselves in restaurants all the time and think nothing of it.  I don't know why it's such a big deal for me.

I'm pretty used to that. I go to lunch a lot by myself. I usually perch myself up at the bar, where its less obvious I'm dining solo, and sometimes talk to the people around me, especially when there are other solo diners.

Next time you're dining solo, imagine the other diners naked. You'll either laugh your butt off or gag on your food.  :biggrin:

It doesn't bother me to be somewhere alone,but I do not like to be center of attention.

This is a such a small thing for some, but for me it is a MAJOR feat.  :yes:
I haven't went anywhere alone for the last 20 years.
When I would go to lunch alone, I would eat in my car. I would NEVER go into a restaurant alone. I'm just not comfortable doing that. But I am making progress.  :smile:  2 times in one week - woo hoo!!!  :biggrin:

On another topic:
This weekend I came to a realization that I did nothing, but love 'him' and I still do and always will. :smitten:  
But I have come to terms that I did nothing to get rejected. There was no fight or argument. So that has placed me in this limbo feeling for a while. This weekend I told Lil BEG 'Well, this is his doing. He made the choice, not me.' She gave me a huge hug and a high five and told me I was too good for 'him' anyway.
And all I can say about that is one day 'he' may regret what 'he' CHOSE in the year 2006.

That is ONE thing I am very assure of, Magistrate. The good Lord is always with me and gives me blessings each and every day.  I am a healthy and vibrant young woman.  Yes, blessings are many! :yes:

Not me, give me an audience versus being ignored any day.
In a pretty good place now.

So, how's it going? I was thinking of you the other day as I sat and ate my lunch by myself, it's something I've learned to do w/out thought, so once I sat and thought about it and looked around...there were a few "loners" and nobody else seemed to notice or care, but I can see how that might be a struggle.

Personally, I like being able to choose what I where I want to go and what I want to eat without needing to put my head w/someone else to decide. I like the solitude to my own thoughts without needing to come up w/conversation while I eat. Don't get me wrong, I'm an extremely talkative and friendly person, but I don't mind using my lunch as a time to refresh myself.

Anyway, let us know how it's going.

Thanks for asking MsMojo!  :biggrin:

It's going very well.  I guess my uncomfortable feelings come from ALWAYS being with someone for 21+ years and all of a sudden being alone in public.
But I found out last weekend that I don't have a sign across my chest that says 'I'm separated' or 'Going through a divorce'.
I could very easily be on a business trip and staying in a hotel. That's the mind set I have developed.
Also I overcame the thought that just because I'm going through a divorce I am NOT a failure.  :no:  That was a major hurdle that I went over recently. The relationship was a failure but not me.  :yes:
I'm okay - a little tattered and torn, but I'm still okay.  :smile:
I'm getting better each day which is my goal so I can be the best me that I can be for Lil BEG.  :biggrin:

The stages of emotion during a divorce are almost identical to that of adjusting to a death.

Logical because there has been a "death" -- a relationship died.

Mine died after 18 years. Believe this -- time is an incredible healer, slowly but absolutely surely.
