Why are you trying to shift it to be something people are afraid of? Personally it's something I've never chosen to do because I didn't want to or need to. If I was in a situation where I had to go to a restaurant to eat alone because otherwise I couldn't eat, of course I'd do.

Previously you said eating alone in a restaurant is "a line I will never cross and hopefully never will". So you made it sound like almost a phobia thing or something disdainful. Like you would be anxious/panicy if you found yourself in a situation where you had to eat without people.

Fair enough if I read it incorrectly tho. I agree a candelit dinner by yourself in a restuarant isn't something I or many people would ever do. So maybe you were viewing it through that lens.
