Eating out alone may not be that bad after all. Despite the lack of communication with another human being, it is actually a process of self-discovery and period of honing your observation skills. it actually helped me to discover more about myself and how to relate to others by observing other people's conversation.

One valid but slightly generalized observation I have made is that youths nowadays simply do not like to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the person they are having dinner with or spending time with. With the advent of all the cool gadgets and items exclusive for the people who can afford, undivided attention seems to have plunged to an old time low.

I have grown to cherish the people that I spend time with. Bearing the positive mindset that people would rather spend that extra one minute of time with you than tending to other issues, it somehow makes me happy. Especially the people that puts a smile on my face. No amount of cool gadgets would be able to substitute that.
