Eating alone in the cafeteria or any known place is really embarrassing. Perhaps the Korean policy is correct for this. I really feel people are laughing at me. As per my usual habit, I don’t talk much while eating, but it doesn't mean that I can’t eat with someone. When I take food, sit alone. I feel shame to face somebody known sitting near my table. That’s why I choose time 1:30 pm for lunch or skip my breakfast or snacks so that I don’t have to see many people. It’s really very embarrassing.
