Anyone do this? I’ve recently moved to a new state and don’t have friends so I avoid going to social places outside the gym and the movies. How does it feel? Does the loneliness get to you or do you enjoy your own company over time.

you have to do it in that situation

staying in and overthinking isnt the move

yikes u go to the movies alone?

prefer it tbh.

It’s cool doing things alone with some music just observing the world thought this was normal, see a lot of people doing it

@op look for some local meetups like bar crawls. I've also had friends who've used Bumble BFF and had success.

You’re an autonomous human being

Go to social places if you feel you’d enjoy it

If not having friends there kills that potential enjoyment completely for you, there’s your answer

Depends on the vibe of the place for me, some are better suited than others for solo chilling

Going out alone is great every now and then. It’s really nice just hanging with yourself being in the moment taking it all in. Highly recommend

if you're into pokemon, you can download pokemon go and join your local cities group.

great way to make friends

You can do the same with any other hobby you like

U don't?

Yeah I like film

This the activity where going alone makes the most sense. You shouldn't be talking much during the movie anyway, why do you need someone else there?

How else will you meet people if you don't go to things?

got his ass

Ive gone to movies, concerts alone. It really isnt bad

easier said than done but you’re not wrong

In the anglopshere, the culture feels so isolating that people hate going out alone for some reason.

When I was in Albania or Colombia or wherever else, I loved going out to a cafe or ice cream parlor or wherever by myself to relax and just chatting it up with people there.

Feel comfortable with yourself. Don't overthink your future interactions or what people might think of you.

Most important lesson to learn early, plus I kinda prefer doing most things alone atp you don’t have to move at anyone’s time but your own

no im normal

It’s honestly the best. The places you go the workers show so much love. I used to go to the bar solo all the time and the bartenders would give me so many free drinks same way at restaurants
