[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it really that embarrassing to eat alone? I did it ms y times in college when my friends weren’t around and never thought anything of it.[/quote]

It is if they reason you are eating alone is that you simply do NOT have anyone to eat with. Very different from choosing to do so and being forced to.  I can relate.  My college had the rule that Dinner had to be eaten at your "home dining hall".  Except I was in the party dorm on campus (dorm room on 1st floor 20 ft from the most popular fraternity on campus).  My friends were not in my dorm but instead at the other side of campus.  So I eventually appealed to get my "home dining hall" changed to the one that was open more hours and made up some excuses about class/etc.   But that took me 2 weeks to get done once I started.  I had to put myself out there to accomplish it---someone who was already partially immobilized with lack of friends would have hit a wall.  
And that dining hall was not where most of my friends were located.  But I instead made a great group of quirky "Dinner friends" (picture a really quirky group of introverts---I was probably the most outgoing of the group and I'm a true introvert), some who I'm still friends with 30+ years later.
