[Image] Just do it

Normalize it by doing it.

I went to watch *Avatar 2* for an early morning show, which started around 8 a.m. My girlfriend didn’t want to join me because she doesn’t like 3D movies, and none of my friends were interested either, so I went alone. It turned out to be a great experience, I enjoyed those three hours by myself and watched the movie without any distractions.

I’ve been going to the movies by myself since i was like 14 (i’m 39 now).

I enjoy my own company.

I go alone to restaurants pretty often, I dont see a problem with it.

You know you can do stuff you want to do without waiting for it to be normalised right?

This is me.

I saw endgame by myself at midnight when it came out 🤷

I have done this for all of my adult life… Never understood why friends thought it was odd.

Being with other people doing those activities is how I justify the cost. By myself it’s cheaper to stream a movie and eat at home.

On every other thursday, I like to go out on my own for a while and eat at a local mexican restaurant. I order basically the same thing everytime I go there to the point that some of the staff knows what I want. Every now and then, I get to chat with some of them if the day isn’t that busy.

It’s great. Just me, and some good food, and a time alone to ponder on what I want to do next week after work.

Last time I tried to see a movie alone I was almost abducted…I’m good.

I rarely get free time but on that blue moon that I do, I take myself out somewhere

Business travelling means many of us do meals, cimena and so on solo all the time. Solo travelling is a thing 🤷‍♀️

To be honest I don’t feel like going alone. Would rather have a pizza in my couch or at my PC than eating out. Cinema is kinda of expensive and to be honest over rated.

I do go to restaurant when on business trips, because I want to spend as little time as possible in hotel rooms. But the comfort of my home is better than eating out.

I once went to Buffalo Wild Wings by myself since I had never went there before, always wanted to go but had nobody in my life I was close enough with like that to go out to eat at a restaurant with me. They put down two menus assuming I brought somebody, I guess eating there alone specifically is seen as unusual. However, I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

Counter service at a diner is one of life’s joys. I can get in and out in 20 minutes with a full belly.

Every ” Normalize [ insert action here ] ” is either the weirdest shit , that should definitely not be normalized. Or the most normal thing ever. There’s no in between. It’s either something like ” normalize eating cockroaches from the floor” or “normalize walking alone through the park in the morning”…. Tf?

Fr, sitting alone in a movie theater is surprisingly relaxing

Why does anybody care and why would it not already be normal?

I love traveling alone, going to galleries, concerts, eating out, sitting at cafes, seeing movies – all on my own.

I’m always weirded out by people who would skip on a experience because they’d do it on their own.

I guess “normalize not being insecure because you’re doing something on your own, since it makes absolutely no sense to feel bad about it, and you’re a silly goose for skipping on those experiences just because your friend didn’t join you”.

Exactly!! 

This isn’t as easy when you’re married
