Do you go out by yourself?

Things like: movie theater, bars, dance clubs or even traveling...

If you do, how often and how do you feel?
And if you don't, why don't you go?

Please share some experiences with me.

Thanks. 😊
Cheers.

I go out to eat by myself, and I grocery shop by myself.

It used to bother me to dine in a restaurant all alone, but I DGAF anymore.

I also walk a 7-mile round trip on the beach fairly often. Pic below:


That's my shadow in the pic, if you look closely.

@TheCaterpillar: Thanks. It was taken 2017-05-07 late in the afternoon, about an hour before sunset, on Bird Island North & South Carolina. I was standing on top of the highest dunes in SC, looking east into NC with Sunset Beach NC in the distance. The NC/SC border is just beyond the shadows--almost all of the island is in North Carolina.

@PoisonGirrrl: I walk it alone, as there's no woman in my life at the moment. :-(

Yeah, all the time. I go to the movies alone, libraries and book stores, walk through parks, etc... I wouldn't mind eating or traveling by myself either.

I like it. It's nice being able to do what I want without keeping tabs. I also like my own company.
I've had a few people comment on it though; twice at a movie theater. They were always surprised and acted sympathetic, as if I didn't choose it. :/

@BlueClapTrap I thought I replied to you here.
Sometimes I do prefer to stay in, but it depends on where I am. I think that staying at home increases my anxiety and depression.
I think that aimless walks are really nice too...
I can relate when you say you don't include people in your life because they are busy, and generally (in my case) they come to me later complaining that I hadn't invited them to whatever I've done by myself.

I do all of those things often except dance clubs really aren't my thing. I've always been comfortable in my own company though.
PoisonGirrrl · 31-35, F
I feel this way when I go to dance clubs... lol I ask myself: "what am I doing here?"
In restaurants it sucks because it's hard to save a seat, but I generally don't have problems there.

@PoisonGirrrl: I actually like traveling alone mainly because I can do everything I want my way on my own agenda and timeline :)

@TheCaterpillar: Exactly! This is what I like the most, no one bothers me. I can do whatever I want and exercise my impulsiveness, which happens very often during trips.
I do most things alone & its depressing. Especially when i go out to eat.

@Selah: I know how you feel. I feel the same way when I dine alone. I usually DGAF, but sometimes I really do feel lonely, and it seems like everyone else there has someone(s) with them.

@Selah: I can go with you. :) We'll stroll through a park and eat a burger.

I do go out alone. Breakfast and lunch, and movies, or shopping. I haven't been out to dinner alone though, for a long time. That just depresses me too much.

@ThePiedPiper: Yes, I also like films that no one wants to watch.
I think that my best travel experiences were by myself. I am so fond of my own timing, having someone else nearby has always been problematic doing this...

I often do, and it does feel invigorating

@SW-User This is great to know. :-)

I go to eat , movie theatres, shopping and have been on a few vacations by myself. I like it. Not many people have my interests.
PoisonGirrrl · 31-35, F
@Exhibiter100000 It's interesting to find people who like doing things by themselves. Nice...

I go alone for having a drink.. I don't watch movies at theatre. I want to travel soon.
PoisonGirrrl · 31-35, F
@Breadroll: And do you feel okay with having a drink by yourself?
SW-User
@PoisonGirrrl: i drink it due to boredom or work frustrations :/
golemn9 · 26-30, M
Yes i do but i try not to go alone. I like being with friends..
PoisonGirrrl · 31-35, F
@golemn9: When you go alone, you don't feel good?
golemn9 · 26-30, M
@PoisonGirrrl: no :(
PoisonGirrrl · 31-35, F
@golemn9: 🌹 I know what you mean.
SW-User
Depends on the thing. Shopping and going to movies it's fine. But not drinking, clubs, or traveling.

@Anonsmiles: Interesting... 😉 Trying to understand...
SW-User
I only go out alone when traveling for work.

My friend could go out to bars by himself and have a great time. I could never do it.
i go and watch a film some times and i like to walk. I am always alone
PoisonGirrrl · 31-35, F
@nevergiveup I see, but do you enjoy doing those things by yourself?
@PoisonGirrrl i wish i had some one i could hold hands with and just talk to when i go out or just sit at home and talk
