That's right. You should not approach strangers to beg them to bring you into a lounge as their guest.
You can look for a restaurant or bar near the gate where you could purchase food or a drink as a way to have a nice place to relax and wait for your flight. Some people enjoy walking around the airport, people watching, looking in airport stores, etc. when they have extra time.
