I have become single relatively recently after being in a LTR well about a year ago. In that time it's really started to depress me that I am seemingly treated like a second class member of society because I am not half of a couple. A few examples include :
Awkward pauses when I ask for a table for one (not fancy restaurants normal cabin places at lunch) and the odd person looking over/ staring
Friends in couples no longer want to socialise with me as much
People have told me I can't go on holiday on my own as its weird and what will I do
Colleagues asking what I did at the weekend and looking pityingly at me when I say I did X y and X but when hey ask "with who" I say " by myself"
It's so infuriating! I'm late 30s FWIW. Has anyone else experienced this feeling?

To think single people get treated worse by society in general?
