I'm not lonely, I just enjoy be alone. At work my coworkers like to have lunch together and they call me to go with them, but to be honest I like to eat alone. But I don't know how to explain to them that. They might think I don't like them or I'm stuck-up. I don't want them to get this idea, so I never refuse their invitations. People also thinks that a person who eats alone it's because they doesn't have any friends and get a little sorry for this person, but in this case I don't mind at all if people will think I'm lonely, because I know I'm not, I just like to eat and think about my life instead of eat and talk to people.

I'm not lonely, I just enjoy be alone.

At work my coworkers like to have lunch together and they call me to go with them, but to be honest I like to eat alone. But I don't know how to explain to them that (word order: "that to them"). They might think I don't like them or I'm stuck-up. I don't want them to get this idea, so I never refuse their invitations. People also thinks that a person who eats alone it's because they doesn't(subject-verb agreement: "they don´t") have any friends and get a little sorry("feel pity") for this person, but in this case I don't mind at all if people will think I'm lonely, because I know I'm not, I just like to eat and think about my life instead of eating and talking to people.

Hope my corrections help! Let me know if you have any questions/doubts! :)

At work, my coworkers like to have lunch together and they call me to go with them, but to be honest I like to eating (you don't need "to" after the verb "like", although it is correct. You can just get the verb after "like" in gerund) alone. But I don't know how to explain it to them (it wasn't that incorrect, however, this way it sounds better) that. They might think I don't like them or I'm stuck-up. I don't want them to get this idea, so I never refuse their invitations. People also thinks that a person who eats alone it's a person who  because they doesn't have any friends and so they feel get a little sorry for this person, but in this case I don't mind at all if people will think I'm lonely, because I know I'm not, I just like to eat and think about my life instead of eat and talk to people.

Well done!  you could try and say that you need a lot of quiet time to recover from a morning's hard work.  I don't think anyone would be offended, as long as you sat with them at times....

I know, but it's people that I have to be with almost everyday and when I tried to go alone they come me out for that. HAHA!
