No matter who you are, there are times you will find yourself alone. Be it waiting in a doctor's office, grabbing a coffee or catching a flight. Everyone enjoys spending at least some part of their week alone at home, but when it's in public, some people are just not so good at solo. Between travelling quite a bit on my own, moving to a new city, and being awkwardly early for most appointments/dates/meetings, I have become quite accustomed to doing my own thing. I think every confident girl should be A-OK with being on their own for at least a couple hours, and realize that it's perfectly natural.
Try going into a restaurant and having lunch on your own. It's almost liberating, at least after you get over the initial awkwardness. And if a solo lunch seems too intimidating try grabbing a seat at Starbucks with a coffee and paper for half an hour. A good trick is to always carry a good book, magazine or a journal - something to entertain you and make it look like you MEANT to be on your own (not like you got stood up). Smartphones really help too - allowing you to access the Internet and all chatting capabilities...but that kind of defeats the purpose a bit. Try it, you might be surprised at how great you feel when you devote some time to chillin with yourself!
