Good for you!!!!
I find I'm my best dining guest...I can pick where I want to eat, when I go and actually enjoy lone dining. Although, I'm pretty social and always have conversation with someone dining.
(I love to travel alone NO drama or timelines😁)

Eating alone is peaceful. It's fun to have company.......... sometimes yes,\.... sometimes no.
Eating is to feed your body - not for social judgement nor approval.

@Luvsmyfam Happy New Year to you! After my DH died I went to Denny's a few times for a meal alone. It actually wasn't too bad but I understand how you feel.

@Luvsmyfam HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I'm glad you had lunch! I've been doing take out mostly during the pandemic. But before I would occasionally go. I know how you felt being alone.
Sometimes I'd take a book or text on my phone while waiting.
I'm on an I pad and when it was new I started typing on these forums and it helped me learn the onscreen keyboard. It's harder to do photos on it so I haven't done that yet. But it's a good way to learn.

I have eaten alone a lot in all sorts of restaurants because my husband traveled a lot and I didn't want to go home from work and cook.
It never made me uncomfortable and I didn't take a book. Just relax and enjoy the food, people watch, talk to the waiter and leave a nice tip. It's fine!
Usually I found the waiter would make a few extra stops to check on me and have a brief conversation--I think they know singles appreciate the attention. At least the good waiters. . .

My job required quite a bit of traveling so I had to eat out alone often. I got used to it but can honestly say it usually wasn't enjoyable for me. I felt awkward just sitting there so I would bring a book or my work to look over. That being said, for those who feel comfortable I think it's great to eat where you want when you want and often not have to listen to uninteresting chatter from your table mate.

@Luvsmyfam I use two different tablets and have no difficulty capitalizing anything I want. You can even capitalize on a cell phone.

I've dined alone for years now and always have my phone to play with. The other week, a lady in the next booth was leaving with her friend and she stopped at my table. She admired me for eating alone and she really never did that. I encouraged her to do so, she's missing out on good food and it's easier than cooking for 1 person sometimes. I always receive good service from the staff.
