Anyone here sit alone during lunch when they were in school? How did you deal with that?
Had my own table till one day 3 literal sluts started sitting at the table for rest of year. to bitter and depressed to make anything of it.

>tfw the uni library is always full so i have to sit around the back outside to get away from people between classes
fending off girls trying to sit with me and invite me to their table
I ate ASAP so I could go the bathrooms and watch porn on my phone.
i sat in the bathroom stall.

Sometimes, I usually had a good friend sitting across from me though
Even then, I/we were alone

I preferred it. I always snuck out to the back of the school by the parking lot and nibbled on my sandwich and Goldfish crackers. It was nice.
I did for a few weeks in ninth grade before dropping out due to depression (not from sitting alone but it probably didn't help).
Pure misery. I would hate to go back to that time.
who /sat by themselves in a classroom/ here?

I spent every single break during my freshman highschool year on the toilet making gloves out of toilet paper. A normal person would be bored and or lonely, but I didn't mind. I only stopped doing this when some seniors started to notice and made fun of me. I literally only tried to make friends to stop this bullying. I wish being social wasn't so engraved in a normal human's behavior and people would just accept that not all people enjoy being social. I am perfectly capable of being social and I have many friends now, I just enjoy being alone better. Why is this such a bad thing?
I hope people stop forcing me to do this social shit once I finish uni.

I sat on a bench alone for awhile for some reason. Then my friend sat with me occasionally. Then he introduced me to another one of my friends. Then I made friends at crew. Then I sat in the sperg gazebo with the weebs. But while I sat alone I played vidya. Ds, vita, mobile. Not too bad.
Do you think we are all on the autistic spectrum? I like being alone, but don't think I'm weird but most people ignore me or don't include me in things and refer to my "funny ways" that I'm not even aware of. I also make things up to be interesting and have something to say :(

Only for my first year in High school. I was popular before then, but I lived closer to one high school and was sent there by my parents, while my friends went off to the other one together. I was bullied day fucking one, so I spent the year alone.
I avoided the school as much as I could, eating primarily outside. My spot got taken quite often though so I said fuck it and found this underpass overlooking a highway and ate there for the rest of the year, or wandered off into a forest to explore and take my mind off my loneliness.
The next year I convinced my parents to transfer me and things picked back up for me. This is the first time in

This is the first time in 13 years I acknowledged this period of my life.

For the first month of high school school I ate lunch in some bushes out of the way until some stoner kids found me
I eventually pushed myself into a social group but even then I found myself wandering around school lunch times or eating in the bathrooms or just going of campus.
The main problem in school that I had was that I sweated too much in social situations which created a lot of anxiety for me. I had to change shirts in the bathroom every day.
The only good thing about school was that I was very fit and practiced martial arts so nobody fucked with me.
>walking around school trying to look like you're going somewhere

I remember those feels

Didn't eat lunch at high school. Not eating at uni either because there's literally no free tables anywhere(small uni).
>>27059256
This is what I do. Time moves pretty slowly though when you need to walk off one hour.

I used to sit w my brother,
but after he graduated, i had no one to sit with
just sat with some people I knew from having classes with and they knew i had no one to sit with so they were ok to have me anytime
i think i'm open to making friends now, but it just never happens
>>27056293
lots of people at my school sit alone but if you're that insecure about it just find out when it's least busy or get your food to-go and eat it somewhere private
Never ate lunch. Always went to the skidpit behind the school in the forest and chain smoke my hunger away
I used to eat alone in high school after i got my license. I would leave school and go to taco bell or whatever was close then come back to school and eat in my car and then just walk to my next class. No one ever bothered me. It was nice.
>>27056293
I almost always sat alone. I'd read while I ate then go for a walk for the rest of lunch period.
I had a couple of groups that liked me hanging out with them but they were boring.
I just don't enjoy spending time with most people and prefer solitude.

Congrats, I think when you start sitting alone in a social environment you start to suppress it, I did the same.
Spent 2 years eating alone in the classroom on my computer, when the classroom was locked I had to eat in the toilet.
>tfw it was in the middle of the city
>tfw almost no sitting area except one big cafeteria too populated, so it would be embarassing
>tfw spent thousands of dollars just to get away from the classroom at times, by going to the store alone
I sat at the dork table pretty much throughout HS. I wouldnt call any of them friends, none of us really spoke but they gave the illusion of filling a void and that was enough. I sit alone in the cafeteria every day at work though, no dork table to hide in here.

Smoking dicks doesn't count, slag bag.
I don`t eat at school because i`m afraid people would either stare at me or make fun of me. But I do sit alone, as long as I have a book or phone with me it`s not that awkward or anything. Sometimes people sit with me, but I know that they do it out of pity.
I diversified. Some days I would sit in the library, which was usually too crowded and talkative for anybody to pay attention to a one-off person. Some days I'd walk to nearby stores and get something to eat/drink, and some days I would go see a teacher about something class related that I felt the need to inquire about.
I wasn't ever really ashamed of it, and it was quite apparent to me that no one gave a shit assuming they even noticed. They only notice you when you choose to sit alone at a table in the middle of the cafeteria and stare at your hands and look to be on the verge of tears for the whole lunch hour,which is what I did initially

The same way I dealt with the rest of school. I read novels. It distracts you from the fact that you're forced to be somewhere you hate, and it makes you look busy so people mostly don't try to interact with you. It's a convenient side effect that the practice makes you score higher on the English parts of standardized tests, which got me a partial scholarship.
But I'm a loner because I dislike people (real ones, at least), not because they don't like me. Those are two totally different things.

eat in my car
I sat alone for the first part of my senior year because I preferred it. I'm a major introvert with various mental issues, so dealing with people tends to be exhausting. Then I started dating one of my best friends. Next thing I know, he drags me into his friend group and I'm assimilated. I hated sitting with them for most of the year until I just got used to it. When I think back, sitting alone was better because it wasn't as loud and I got work done. I can't fuckin' stand loud noise.
