Shouldn't try to make people feel bad for this

I sit on my own a fair bit at work. When you talk to people for a living it's refreshing to have some quiet

My life as an introvert in a family of extroverts

P r e a c h

I eat alone ~95% of the time. I do nearly everything alone, and I am fine with it. Although, I am certainly not opposed to either attractive or intelligent (or especially both) company.

I dont think extroverts are trying to make anyone feel weird. When i see people eating alone i assume they feel excluded and just need an invitation to eat with someone, not because they i think its weird. Sometimes that's the case and apparently sometimes it's not, i enjoy company when I'm eating but i can understand why someone may not. I'm sure extroverts are not trying to pressure you to eat with people to be normal, they probably just know you're introverted and are trying to include you.

I'm fine with them asking one time but yeah, everyday "oooh you're so lonely come with us, don't feel shy, we won't eat you ha-ha", or "come with us, it's better than being sad and bored alone in your corner"... it can be exhausting. My class was like this last year even after I repeatedly told them that I didn't dislike them but needed some peace. (At the end I brutally told them to go fuck themselves just so I could eat/read/think/... in peace :/ and it's not like me to do that but it worked.)
