would you agree that some people might find your desire to eat by yourself (even on Pesach) outside the mainstream population? Very few people consistently want to eat their meals alone.

There you go. You made the assumption that a lot of people make. I never said I wanted to be by myself. I said I wanted to be AT HOME! There is a difference. I would love nothing more than to have a dining room full of people. But in MY HOME, eating MY FOOD.

The problem is I don’t have a dining room, or even a dining table. I have a bed and a coffee table. That isn’t conducive to having guests. I hope that someday I will be financially able to have a larger apartment, and lots and lots of company.

For what it’s worth, when I was in a better financial situation, and did have a larger apartment, I did invite people. I was usually (but not always) turned down. Occasionally some other singles would come. Families never did.

In fact, one person even said, “Cooking for eight is a lot different than cooking for one.” Since he was an expert, I wish he could have taught me how to cook for one. I usually just gave my Shabbos leftovers (of which there were quite a bit) to some people who I knew would appreciate them.
