Do you go to places alone?

[Argamemnon]

Do you go to places alone when you're bored? Like wandering downtown, having a coffee etc.. For those who work, do you sometimes go somewhere in the evenings during weekdays, apart from your daily shopping?

 

[Psychedelicious]

I don't, but I proabably would if I could drive or live on my own. I just have no way to get anywhere.

 

[Hoth]

I'll go to a park or for a hike from time to time. The occasional Burger King or Carl's Jr stop. Don't have a downtown to wander.

I don't go out that much other than to school. I'm always afraid of getting into an accident, which makes me hesitant to do a lot of driving. While I'm at school, I do occasionally go into Center City (via the subway) to visit a few stores. At home, though, I barely leave the house. Before I had my license, it was even worse. I never did anything.

Sometimes I do, but it's mostly when I have some other work too. Like if I visit a mall to buy a shirt then I would hang around it for a while, eat there etc. It's a totally different feeling hanging out alone in a mall, isn't it?

I go pretty much everywhere alone. It's very rare that I have company with me whether it's out to eat, a movie or any other type of activity.

that's cool. I wish I could also.. but I'm young.. and I tend to think al the youngsters as young as I am would pick on me if I were alone. And besides there are like hardly any places to "do things" around here I have to go to another city or something. Besides Im not too interested in many things either that are kind of 'mainstream', and.. well uh... I can never think of things to do by myself.. I always think it's no point unless I have someone to share it with... but I'm also kind of shy to do thinjgs with members of the same sex because it might feel or look "homo" or something because I've never been with a woman before... never been friends with one or anything so.. it would be kind of imbalanced or something.

as you can see I am being very f*cking honest. maybe too much but oh FECKING well.

Personality, I feel more comfortable and less anxiety when I go with someone. Anywhere for a coffee, cinema, doctors including to the hairdressed. Í´m not capable to sit down at a bar or go to the cinema alone. But, it´s necessary for soma of us to become more independet.

I go around alone all the time, personally I find it more relaxing.

Where do you go for example and what do you do?

Sometimes I go hiking or to the movies by myself. It can get lonely at times, but it feels better to keep as active as possible.

I shop and go to the track/nature walk alone sometimes. I've been to a concert by myself once.

I'd go to the movies by myself, though. I have never been to one alone, but it's not something I am opposed to.

I don't think I could dine alone, though. I've done it before in college. That was okay - but it was mainly during the times that were not too busy. I just have problems with it because it brings me back to HS. I never had anyone to sit with during lunch so I ended up hiding out in the bathroom stalls.

Anywhere it just depends what I'm in the mood for shops, movies maybe just a walk round the neighbourhood. A quiet walk just having a look around can be very relaxing.

 

[bleach]

Yes... if i didn't go alone then I would never go anywhere.

 

[SunCat]

When I was a teenager I would go to movies by myself as I felt I could enjoy the movie without having to think of the other person. Now, I do my shopping on my own, go to work and gym but since I live in a dangerous city, I don't venture out alone at night, unless I am meeting a friend (which doesn't happen often).

 

[Kamen]

Yes, I do it. How do you feel more relaxed - when you walk on your own or when you are with someone ?

 

[GloomySunday]

It depends on the type of place it is. I like to go to movies alone, but generally they have to be the 'art house / independent' style of cinema (for the serious film goer) rather than the mainstream picture houses showing mainstream movies. I also go to concerts alone and generally favour 'standing' venues as you can mingle in the crowd and move around. You don't feel so self conscious there.

Absolute no no's are dining out or bars. Those places I consider hostile to single people!
