I went to the movies on my own today to see The Kids are All Right. The movie was great (I laughed and I nearly cried), plus I am pleased to report I've progressed beyond feeling like a friendless loser when I go to the cinema solo. Now if I can just get used to going to see bands at bars on my own, I'll be set.
I made chocolate crackles yesterday. Yum. (Yeah, I know. I should try out for Masterchef.)
Seriously? I've been a lone attendee to the movies, concerts etc for years. If I want to go see something/someone and nobody wants to come with me, I still go. Bugger it! I got to this stage only after I travelled overseas alone! There's no shame in being alone...... (regardless of what my girlfriends tells me) I say if you are strong enough to do it alone, you are a strong person! Who cares what others think!
ReplyDeleteI've been content doing a lot of things on my own for a long time - in fact there's quite a few things I'd rather do on my own than with friends - but for some reason, I still had a thing about going to the movies on my own. Maybe travelling on my own earlier in the year helped me get over it?
ReplyDeleteI probably shouldn't say this too loudly, but I feel a little bit sorry for people who aren't confident or comfortable doing anything on their own.
Not concerts? Seriously?
ReplyDeleteI find it much easier to go to concerts by myself than movies... but I did only discover this in the last year or so.
On Wednesday I saw John Butler and Blue King Brown and it was BLISS.
all by myself : )
