Went to a movie alone and... LIKED IT!

[Locke]

I love to go to the drive in movie theater alone. I sit in my car by myself and watch the movie. It is very therapeutic in my opinion.

Sounds like fun, I've never been to one before.

I go to movies alone sometimes as well.

I looked it up. In the U.S. there's only 356 drive-ins left, and 448 total. :\

Congrats on going to the movies alone. I love doing the same and am still working on doing other things alone. After all, being alone should not stop you from doing the things you like!

I still remember the time people laughed. That sucked. Like it or not it advertises the fact that you have few if any friends.

I got laughed at because I walked home carrying groceries yesterday. Some people are jerks who enjoy laughing at others. Who gives a **** what they think.

So yeah, I've decided that I love going to the movies alone and I will do it, at least once a month, to grow comfortable with being alone (I like it for the most part, I just haven't grown used to it yet) and to grow a pair.

Just wanted to share...

That is awesome! This weekend was not a good one for me as it was my Mom's birthday on Friday and even though she passed away nine years ago, I'm still affected by it.

So, yesterday I met up with one of my two reliable (and platonic) female friends, we had lunch, chatted about some deep stuff, we went to a thrift store to look at some cool antique stuff, and then we parted so I could see "Man of Steel." I didn't even ask her to come because I planned this for myself. Turns out she didn't like Superman anyway, so it worked out perfectly. I enjoyed myself. The movie could have been better, but being alone was fine, and I'll do it again if I can't find someone to see a film with me. I must say that seeing a movie with someone else is preferrable, but not necessary.

I've been seeing movies alone on-and-off for decades, mostly because I'm not going to deprive myself of a movie experience because I can't find a body to sit next to me. lol

Good on you, SS. Keep it going.
