Have you ever had a place you wanna go to, but then you don't really know who to ask to go with you? It's... Idk. Is this really part of adulting?

Is this normal?
Or is this a me thing?
Sometimes, I wonder.
I could probably ask people... but I don't for reasons. I also can't think of someone I'd feel really happy to go with. I mean, there are a few and we'd probably have fun, but...I just think that if they wanna spend time with me, then they'd be asking too. And I don't want the pressure of having to pay for other's expenses. It's kinda... it doesn't always feel good that you have to pay for the people you hang out with. As for those others that could pay for themselves, there's this hesitation that makes me not ask. Like, maybe they have people they'd rather spend time with. I don't know.
That, and other reasons, depending on the person concerned.
Maybe it's just me overthinking things.

I’ve totally been there where my friends were busy and it got awkward after I wanted to reconnect with someone and they kept putting it off. So i just decided to go places by myself. It was horrifyingly uncomfortable at first but then I got used to it.

@MysterySci What's the one place you started going alone to? Some places, I feel it's okay to go alone. As for others, honestly, I just think it's better to go with someone with. For conversation's sake, and actually, for safety too.

But I do get it that sometimes, going with someone just isn't an option.

@Casheyane Well, I mostly went to safe public places, like cafes, bookstores, jewellery stores etc.

And yeah if you mean a hike or smth, then definitely take someone with you or don’t go alone. Wouldn’t risk your safety.
