What makes them different? After years of observing human behavior and diving into the psychology behind our social habits, I've noticed that people who genuinely enjoy eating alone in public share some fascinating traits. We've all seen these people. Maybe you are one of them. While others fidget with their phones or rush through their food when dining solo, these individuals savor every bite, unbothered by the social conventions that make many of us squirm at the thought of a table for one.
The joys of travelling solo are endless. There is something truly freeing about exploring new places alone - you can go where you please, eat when you want, and have uninterrupted quality time with yourself. The interest in solo travel has been slowly rising for a while, but data from UK-based travel organisation ABTA shows that 16 per cent of travellers went on holiday by themselves in 2023, a five per cent increase from the previous 12-month period.
