Idk, I’ve always loved being alone and doing things alone. I never understood friends who couldn’t even go to the bathroom alone. I hated waiting for people so I’d usually roll up to parties and events alone. I liked being on my own timeline.
I’m a mom now and would kill to go to a movie alone. Someone who would judge that is weird and is projecting their own anxiety and insecurity. You do you.
i started going to the cinema by myself last year and its the best thing ever. I dont know why it scared me so much to do things alone, however doing things solo actually made my social anxiety better. I love just hanging out by myself now; going to the cinema; a nature walk; solo study date at a cafe. Doing things alone will heal something in you
builds character. no one is looking at you weirdly i promise just see the movie by yourself bae. if nothing else do it because joan didion also thinks it’s a good idea. just don’t isolate
Though some people might find this kind of depressing I actually see it as the opposite. It’s really been a while since I’ve done this but I see it necessary to go on a date with yourself once in a while. Go to a cafe, take a walk without any destination in mind, or you might as well go to the cinema on your own.
More than an act of self love I perceive it as a way to embrace solitude and get to know yourself more; It brings so much inner peace and helps to heal that part of yourself that finds loneliness daunting. There is a beauty in everything and solitude is not the exception.
Breaking my very thin, almost non existent air of mystery because I got a haircut I actually like, my favorite jeans fit again, it’s a full moon eclipse, 70°, and both of my kids’ birthdays are today!! MAGIC IS REAL AND I AM FULL OF LOVE! 💗 💗💗💗💗💗
