Eating Alone 혼밥 트렌드
[Talk about the trend of eating alone]
Just ten years ago, it was not easy to see people eating alone at restaurants.
People were accustomed to having company when they ate.
When people had to eat alone, they got self-conscious. It even made people feel left out.
But nowadays, things have changed. It's not hard to find people eating all by themselves at a restaurant.
People think nothing of eating alone. They don't care about what others think.
One reason is that a growing number of people are living alone.
The trend is not limited to eating. You can sometimes see people drinking alone at bars, too.
불과 10 년 전만 해도, 음식점에서 혼자 밥을 먹는 사람을 보기는 쉽지 않았다.
식사를 할 때 누군가와 같이 하는 것에 익숙했기 때문이다.
혼자 밥을 먹어야 하면, 괜히 남의 시선을 의식했고 소외된 느낌이 들기도 했다.
그러나 요즘은 추세가 많이 바뀌었다. 음식점에서 혼자 밥을 먹는 사람듵을 어렵지 않게 목격 할 수 있다.
사람들은 혼자 밥을 먹는 것을 대수롭지 않게 생각한다. 남의 시선도 의식하지 않는다.
혼자 사는 사람들의 수가 늘어나고 있는 것이 그 이유 중 하나이다.
식사뿐만 아니라, 술집에서 혼자 술을 마시는 사람들도 간혹 목격할 수 있다.
