I am down to go to places alone BUT I must admit I do tend to go at slower times because I do feel stressed when a place is mad busy.
Start with the bar. It’s perfect for going solo and it’s not weird to bs around with the bartender or whoever sits by you. I do lunch often by myself but I eat early. I don’t feel bad taking up a two top when it’s not busy. It’s just something you get used to when you do it.

So many people are so scared to do things on their own, but it can be so fun and liberating! I’m my own favorite travel partner. You can try fun places without worrying about what someone else is in the mood for, meet so many people, people watch, read, visit museums Or other stops and take all the time you want, etc. I think a lot of people care too much about what others think when they’re seen doing something or dining alone, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter. Starting out, go to a restaurant that has a bar and sit at the bar, you can enjoy your food and maybe a drink, if you get anxious about people talking to you or aren’t having fun people watching, take up watching the sports on the tv to look occupied! Or maybe your solo outing could first be taking yourself on a museum date and getting to spend as much time as you want in each exhibit.

I never used to think I had trouble doing things alone in public. Seeing movies alone? Easy. Going to museum alone? Perfect. Seeing the doctor alone( for a cold)? Done.
But as I started drinking and have gone to a few bars w friends, I can't really bring myself to go alone when I wanted to go. Even to a place I have had good experience with friends.
I have also been thinking about going to the gym alone, but it feels also too intimidating too

To show her I was using this magnifier headset thing she gave me at Christmas. I was doing some hobby watchmaking. Since I wear glasses its hard to do a traditional loupe.
