re: Why does it feel so wrong to be alone in public places?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not leaving my SO at home to go out alone. 
Obviously being with someone you like is preferable to being alone.. but when that isn't an option, I enjoy my time out alone.
I use the alone times to go somewhere nice and have wine and an appetizer for much less $$ than it would be to go with someone else and sit at a table.

I don’t worry about this

Blame phones and social media. 30 years ago you would have made conversation with strangers. Oh the horror.

I don’t mind talking to people.

Nah, I’m a 30 year-old recently divorced dude. I spent my whole 20’s with the woman I married who later divorced me, and I am having trouble adjusting back into the single world.
And no, I am most admittedly not ok.

You'll be ok eventually. I'd probably have similar trouble adjusting in the same circumstances. At least the rug got pulled out from under you fairly early.
And no reason to be anxious in social settings. Think about the average person and how self-absorbed they are. I bet 95% of things we're self-conscious and feel awkwardly about go entirely unnoticed.

See a therapist if you haven't already. Seriously.
That's a big transition and you're probably still grieving the loss of the relationship, even if it's been done for a year or more. It makes the time you are alone feel so much more lonely.
You seem like a good dude. Sorry you're going through this.

Not for me.
When I want to be left the frick alone, I prefer to be by myself.
Brb. Going to make a song out of this.

I like being alone.

You kidding me? You won the lottery. Listen here’s what you need to do. Find a suitable young woman in her early 20s. This part should be pretty easy because you probably have decent money and all women care about is money. Then, what you’re going to want to do is start having a lot of children. Then, you’ll be happy because kids are great and you’ll have a young wife with enough energy to take good care of them. You’re in the cat bird seat my man. We should all be so lucky.

Kinkbob , you are one of my favorite posters. You are genuine and informative.
Why don't you get back in music scene or go to trivia. Leave baton rouge isn't good place to meet single college grad women . Come to Orlando , hell even mobile.

Yep
And at some point you might actually prefer it

You need to treat your anxiety.

acceptable to be alone are places where social interaction is 100% discouraged (library) or where intoxication is expected (bar).
I like eating by myself sometimes, I’ve sat at a bar at a restaurant out of town by myself to eat and have a drink or two and ended up having interesting conversation with a stranger.
I will not go out to a bar by myself (like a club/bar scene, not including bar at a restaurant)
I wouldn’t go to the movies alone either, just seems stupid to me but I rarely go to the movies anyways these days

I leave work to eat lunch alone almost every day. Why worry about societal expectations?
