Is it normal to be so lonely?

I was sitting in a cafe, having my delicious coffee and a cigarette.. Surrounded by people.. And all of them were looking weirdly at me.. At first I thought it was because of the cigarette thing giving the fact that I live in the middle hell.. Sorry I meant middle east and women who smoke are frowned upon.. But then I noticed that there were other females who were smoking.. And thoughts were rushing through my mind.. Maybe my hair looks funny, or maybe they think oh what a slut.. But no my hair looked fine and I was wearing decent cloths.. So why are they staring.. I then realized that they were surprised by the idea of a woman sitting all by herself in cafe without any company.. I tried to ignore but their eyes kept burning me.. So I asked for the bill and left quickly.. I felt sorry for myself that night and I cried and cried till my pillow was soaked.. I woke up the next morning with panda eyes.. Am I being too sensitive here or should I just shut up and stop making posts about how pathetic my life is when people in the neighboring countries are dying everyday ?

    I'm not sure if I fully believe this post, just because of the way it's written...

    Where in the Middle East are you?

    You're assuming everybody was staring at you for one reason, but you might be wrong.

        It wasn't because of your English.

        Out of curiosity, where in the Middle East are you, and what's your first language?

    I wouldnt tell you to shut up about it. I canse how it could be upsetting, but if i were you I would just ignore them and live your life.

    I understand how you feel but I truly think you should not care. People will always make judgement,most of the times they are hurtful and uncalled for but you shouldn't hide yourself because you are alone. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a loner. If you where happy before you realized they where judging you, keep it this way. If you absolutely can't help noticing them bring a book,or listen to some music or write. If you don't hide yourself and you go out alone again, with time, you will not be sensitive about their judgement anymore.

    I live in the middle east and what did you just say made me laugh, people star at you because you're alone !!!! i think there's another reason or maybe people weren't technically looking at you.

      I think you're right, I used to feel the same a lot, and when I think people stare at me I start to check my clothes and my haircut because I think they missed up in some way, and that's why they look at me, kinda funny but then I started to ignore it and realized that people don't actually stare at me, or maybe they do cause I'm very hot (I'm joking but who knows)

    You are you and you have your problems and they're important to you so don't think you should just brush it off they are your problems and that is why they are important can't always think about things you can't do anything about

    I'm a pretty lonely person myself but I deal with it by increasing my interaction with the world.
