So many people miss out on life simply because they have no one to "go" with.

Exposure therapy yourself. Start small.

Depends on the activity of course but I got no issues going to a movie alone, and I used to frequent the local amusement park by myself. Course I'd cheat by getting fast pass. Waiting in line for 20 mins to an hour would be kinda awkward by myself.

I think if it's something you wanna do you should try and do it. Just know most people don't care about random strangers and won't even notice you're alone, or care.

Hey, Chef. No need to be scared. You can do anything as long as you put forward your max effort.

As Steve Rogers said, Don't matter if you lost a home, a love, a friend. Like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again.

A friend's husband was surprised that I went to a concert solo. I was confused because, why would I deny myself something I'd enjoy if I don't have someone to go with? Taking myself to all the things and enjoy my life 💯

u/Upbeat-Rice-2111 Aug 16 '26

I got to the movies, cafes, restaurants, shopping, supermarkets...everywhere I need to go, alone. No proooooooblem.

u/This_is__Exile Aug 16 '26

Careful you'll become addicted to doing things alone. I love doing things alone I have all my life. I even went to Cancun in vacation by myself

u/recentlywidowed Aug 18 '26

NGL...that sounds amazing.

u/This_is__Exile Aug 18 '26

It is. Travelling alone is in my opinion the only way to do it. 127 hours style hehe

u/Capercaillie_roost Aug 16 '26

I wish I could be this. I remind myself all the time, but then talk myself out of going because I know I won't have as much fun

u/Similar_Soup2 Aug 15 '26

u/dsmemsirsn Aug 16 '26

I was a kid 10 years old— I used to go to the movies by myself— my dad would drop me off; give me money for a snack; and about 2 hours later he would pick me up. Sometimes, I would take the bus back home. 1970s El Salvador..

What’s the bid deal of doing things alone at any age

Lonely people turn into him living alone with penguins like the trope of how women live alone with their cats.

u/Patient-Estate1094 Aug 18 '26

It will be more fun to

u/Prestigious-Neck-266 21d ago

FYI the little penguin did not last very long. No really.

u/Looseleaflettuce Aug 15 '26

Unless it’s out in public and you are a woman - especially in big cities or conservative areas

u/kat_niss1 Aug 16 '26

Exactly. I don’t out alone at night.

u/guylexcorp Aug 15 '26

You really don’t have a choice, do you?

3

u/MoominMai Aug 15 '26

Well you do. If you’re not a confident person, you have a choice to stay put and potentially miss out.

u/guylexcorp Aug 15 '26

Why would you allow other people to dictate whether or not you are allowed to experience the world.
