<p>yucca, we need to get her into the dining room....</p>
<p>er...she will if she is really hungry.</p>
<p>maybe I'm really different from other CC members....the only comes to my mind when somebody mentions dining is food</p>
<p>Just to update, I let D know that I was a little concerned that she had eaten only 3 times in 18 available meal times last week. The ate two more this weekend so that is improvement. I am also going to suggest some counseling to deal with these issues through the campus counseling program. There might be a group that meets that will help her deal with these hangups. But things are improving.</p>
<p>I eat by myself most of the time.</p>
<p>I eat alone alot. Then again, I'm socially behind, so if I were you I wouldn't go by me.</p>
<p>I recommend Xanax</p>

<p>Same here. Just grab a good magazine, or a newspaper, eat your food, then leave. It isn't really that big of a deal...</p>
<p>I guess it must be a girl thing to be afraid to eat alone. I ate every single one of my meals alone except one or two when my Indian room mate sat near me. The only time I ever had a problem was when all the tables were full and I would have to sit near people who clearly didn't want me there and would start throwing things at me, taking my food, and insulting me. I went to UCONN and lived in North Campus. It was kind of like prison.</p>
<p>I've never ever felt weird eating alone... why would you? I mean no stranger really cares about your presence so why would they care if you are sitting alone?</p>

<p>I think so too. Let's face it, society despises girls who aren't sociable.</p>
<p>go eat when the dining hall opens up and leave before most ppl start showing up. if u have a friend at another dining hall go eat there. if u see someone eating alone eat with them, they might be wanting someone to eat w/ them.
man, Uconn must suck balls to live at.</p>
<p>I really couldn't care if I eat alone...</p>
<p>it is NOT a good idea to avoid the situation by going in early and then leaving before people show up, that just feeds the fear!!!!</p>
<p>you need to go and sit there and work through it, and see that nothing happens, if you avoid it, something you will have to deal with your whole life </p>
<p>it takes doing it to move on, making all kinds of plans to hide from eating alone isn't good</p>
<p>I mean, what is the logic of going when no one is there, if you do that, you will never find anyone to eat with</p>
<p>Don't even think about it,don't regard it as a issue.Just focus on the food,lol</p>
<p>It's really no big deal. I will admit right now that I am very shy person and have big issues opening up. Today I was eating with a friend and she had to go to class and I was left alone. So I swallowed my pride and joined the 2 people at the next table. Turned out they were sophmores and one was really into politics, which I am interested in learning about. We even exchanged numbers, which was cool even if no friendship blossoms from it. The point is, you never know what will happen.</p>
<p>I ate quickly between classes and I had no problem with dining alone. This isn't middle school...</p>
<p>Bring your iPod to the DC.</p>
<p>It should be a non-issue. No one cares if you eat alone.</p>
<p>If you saw someone eating alone though, and on multiple occasions, wouldn't you think this person doesn't have many friends? I know that's how I'd feel. Not trying to judge or anything but just natural conclusion based on observation.</p>
<p>but would you really notice if one person eats alone a lot? that would require you to notice every time, and then remember that they were alone last time too. seems like a waste of brain space to me.</p>
