Anything wrong about being alone?

Hey guys, its friday and today i was planning to shopping and after that i want to go see a movie by myself? Is there anything wrong with doing these things by myself? There is this movie that i really want to see that comes out today, (saw 6) but last time i went to see a movie alone, there was some people that made fun of me and called me a loner.

It really hurts my feelings. On top of that i dont have many friends and the few friends i do have dont share the same interests as me so it is really hard to do stuff with them. I dont know, what do you guys think about this?

i dont see a problem.

before i met my boyfriend i often ate out by myself and went to the cinema.

even now i like to do things on my own.

i like my own company.

i dont think its odd or strange...and i cant wait to see the 'saw' movie! with or without company.

I too have gone out to eat by myself or watched a movie.

I see nothing wrong with getting a table for one - yep, I get a table rather than sit at the bar.

Like Red, I like my own company.

It's not funny unless they know they're getting to you. WHen I went out alone, I never even thought or worried about what anyone was thinking.

It's unfortunate that you had to be made to feel inferior the last time you attended the movies alone.

There isn't anything wrong with it and shows great self-confidence that you do go. Many people would be too insecure to dine alone or go to the movies alone.

I think it's a fabulous idea and shrug off anyone who would be so ignorant to comment.

I feel funny eating dinner alone, but I go to the movies alone all the time. I thought at first that I'd feel funny, but found I really liked it ... just me and my bags of M&M's. Enjoy.

I once went to a movie by myself then went to eat at a pizza buffet by myself and then went back and seen another movie by myself all in the same day. I liked doing it. It was peaceful and I didn't have to have anyone else's approval of what I watched.

Comments on this post
nikosmom agrees: yes, very peaceful
none12345 agrees: lol

I'm married and I still go to the movies by myself sometimes. If my wife doesn't want to see a movie and I do I go. Technically you aren't alone that theater is going to be packed, that's the way I always look at it. It's not like you are holding a conversation during the movie anyway.

I use to date this one girl who would get so upset that I would eat lunch by myself at a restaurant during work. I asked if she preferred if I just eat lunch with some random girls she didn't find that funny.

nikosmom agrees: I found it funny!
none12345 agrees: me too lol
friend4u178 agrees: Ha Ha.............good point
paxe agrees: LOL nice one!
