That's understandable, I know a lot of people who don't like to go the gym alone however is the reason you don't want to go alone because you don't know what to the in the gym? Or a different reason? Reason I ask is because I'm a gym instructor and found in the past that new members who use the reason as yours is generally because they don't actually know what to do in the gym therefore don't want to go alone. If that's the case, then ask for a gym induction, they're generally free on joining a gym and in that induction they can give you guidance as well on what equipment to focus on for yours goals etc. Go to the gym with an idea in your head of the session your going to complete eg squats, bicep curls, crunches, press ups and calf raises 12 reps x 3 with 90 seconds recovery as this increases motivation
after going a couple weeks with doing planned sessions you will probably find you prefer training on your own! I love my friends but I would never train with them as I chat to them continuously and not get my session done! Haha. Also definitely don't skip meals!! I know it's a bad habit but you having breakfast would increase your energy levels, set you up perfectly for a good gym session and increase your appetite after! If your stuck for gym ideas, just type in on google 'circuit examples' and loads will come up
hope this helps? Good luck!
