Shopping was so hard

I don’t know if you found this, but I found food shopping the toughest. Walking through the shop, watching couples, looking at food that I would have previously bought and suddenly buying half the amount. Somehow, I suddenly felt the loneliest person in the world and felt that everybody was looking at me.
Then one day my friend said “Why, don’t you shop on line?” So I did, and I actually found that I enjoyed it as I could browse without feeling as though I wanted to hide. Now I am back shopping, but I make it an event. I normally go with a friend – have a coffee, or lunch – and enjoy their company.
Again, it was about taking one step back (going on line) to take two steps forward.
