just saw someone recommend going to the cinema alone but going to concerts alone is the real boss move and way more fun. itโs a nice way to make new friends and also just chit chat with other people who have the same interest as you even if you may never see them again.
bonus: way easier to get to the front of the standing area when you donโt have to drag a friend with you !
iโve done this a couple times i hope to do it again when my anxiety isnโt as crippling
another recommendation in the same vein: going to concerts of artists you donโt know or barely know their music! went to ethel cain by myself and had barely listened to her music now sheโs one of my favourite artists and iโm so glad i went
