It's Cheaper and more fulfilling to just make your own food and eat at home. Watching movies at home is free and you can skip around and pause whenever you need to. Going out with friends is the only reason to go out and do things that way anymore.
Same, back when I still went to the movies, I went alone all the time. Two arm rests full time, no debating the right day or time. No picking a movie that you both want to see, and both haven’t seen yet. No need to find four empty seats, so the two of you can have an arm rest. People that are concerned about this kind of shit are hive-minded homosexuals, that crave being “okay good boys” under the subjugating focus of lesser morons. I would be willing to bet that @bananafitz got all of they/them’s shots. Just go watch a movie if you want, why the hell would you even care what someone else might think. A rational person would realize, people don’t care, or would even remember if they did. I have never been somewhere, and then focused on someone being alone, and gave a single shit. You must think you are the center of everyone’s world to think everyone is watching you. Absolute frickong homosexuals.
Are you really that egocentric that you think other people gives a shit about you? No. Everyone is fricking concerned by their own world. Most people think about themselfs and their close friends/family. You are not that important so others will go and spend their time and energy thinking about you or whatever. People are all caught up in their own world.
They're not. Me and my friends make fun of people all the time.
People are always judging. if you are a disgusting smelly moron with bad skin and bad hair they will see you and feel bad about you
Everyone is constantly looking and on top of that, everyone is now carrying a high resolution camera in their pockets to take pics and record videos of your horrible face
Try going naked outside and tell me no one notices you. Try doing something stupid like running in circles yelling stuff about aliens: you'll be on instagram as a meme in 10 minutes. You'll be in the story feed of over 100 people.
Seriously if you think no one cares and no one sees anything you are just autistic and wrong
Well his logic was his personal group feels the need to gossip about random ugly people and then he used hyperbole to say people notice things. As if eating alone is anywhere near as strange or interesting as running around naked.
He's definitely below 18.
If going outside alone is like going outside naked or babbling schizo shit to you, you’re either a real problem or you have way more social anxiety than you realize. People see and judge, but none of it matters. I have stood in line behind the fattest smelliest truckers eating pepperoni sticks with their mouth open scratching lottery tickets and coughing, and I might think horrible things about them, but they never mind. They just keep on chain scratching lottery tickets and eating fried food. They don’t feel shame, so why should I? If it’s a weekday off and I want a nicer lunch, I’ll be the homeless looking guy at the all-you-can-eat sushi, looking like a mess minding my own business. Why worry?
On a spectrum of weirdness worth talking about, running in circles yelling stuff about aliens and doing something by yourself like going to the movies or eating out, are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.
If you laugh at a man you don't even know because he's at the cinema by himself, which could be for a thousand different reasons like something as simple as wanting to pass time while his wife shops for furnitute, then something is seriously wrong with you and you've got some mental baggage that needs to be dealt with by a professional. Sooner rather than later
Pretty much, plus what’s the big idea anyways, isn’t a big awkward smelly fat guy in a giant coat SUPPOSED to be at the movies alone? Isn’t over-perfumed loudmouth b***h supposed to be at the bank? Where else is emaciated mush mouth poor black guy supposed to be, besides holding up the line at the liquor store counting coins trying to buy single shots of fireball and a 20oz malt liquor? I may think mean things occasionally, but never have I seen anyone approach someone else and say ‘what the frick we don’t allow ugly Americans in our store, get out’, especially in a world where most people are some type of weird. Who cares? Does anyone actually think these people shouldn’t be out at the gas station or eating a burger by themselves or some shit?
This line of thinking is what differentiates manchildren and men. Manchildren are perpetually stuck in insecurity. Imagine being 40 year old and being scared of teenage girls laughing about your corny shoes or shirt. Millions of manchildren actually live their lives like this and it's pathetic

Some people have really weird brains that run on anxiety. Had a girlfriend like that, one date night she was feeling anxious and worried about people staring for some reason that I've forgotten. It annoyed me enough that I decided to yell at the top of my lungs to show her no one gave a shit. Not one fricking person around us even turned in our general direction. All of these anons claiming people are paying attention are stupid.

The fact is that everyone is carrying around internet-connected cameras in their pocket and the more people there are in one place the more likely it is that any of them could be filming at any time, even if they're not intentionally filming you specifically. I don't think it's all that unreasonable to be worried about that kind of thing, and certain venues can make it more likely than others.

That's internet addiction. I've been out a lot and never have I seen someone recording me for a youtube video, have you?
I would have sat with her and had a good conversation. Then later take her home and nut all up in her holes. Make the b***hes in the back jealous they arent getting any cum.
I would have sat with all of them and take them all home and nut in all their holes, leaving you stranded with nothing while the girls point and laugh at you
They're laughing at her because she set up a tripod to record herself, not because she is alone.
Women are incapable of self-awareness. Why was she even doing that? You can't just sit down and enjoy whatever this event is, you really have to set up a camera to record yourself for the entire duration? You can even see they're pointing at the camera and recording the camera. She got what she deserved, she's a huge loser but not because she went to an event alone, because she was annoyingly recording herself and others at an event for no reason.
I mean shes annoying for recording her and everyone behind her for internet points, but theyre total b***hes in the back for sneering and laughing at her (and then recording her back, no self awareness) like schoolgirls. basically they all should be skinned
touch grass. if you had a good deal of experience with people you'd know that theres a good amount of them that struggle to find things to talk about, but are terrified by 'awkward silence' so they'll scan the room looking for something to make fun of, and a person alone at what they consider a group activity is sweet relief for them.
So what, you figure someone is thinking bad about you in their head? Does anyone ever get up and walk across the room and bully you? Probably not. Has anyone here ever had an altercation like this that wasn’t in literal high school or lower? Adults just don’t bother
>So what, you figure someone is thinking bad about you in their head? Does anyone ever get up and walk across the room and bully you? Probably not. Has anyone here ever had an altercation like this that wasn’t in literal high school or lower? Adults just don’t bother
No this doesn't happen to me because I wouldn't go out alone. But I observe it all the time, and been a part of toxic groups like this, and they're common.
they don't necessarily want to think bad about you, they're just suffering some degree of uncomfortablility by not having anything to say, and will find something to talk about at any cost, to people other than themselves. They avoid talking about themselves because they have a lack of self worth or usually past trauma from being made fun of for who they are, so rather they scan the environment for topics to talk about.
If they see someone they can make fun of this is huge relief for them also because it means they'll no longer feel as though they're at the bottom of the totem pole for the group they're with and thus wont be bullied.
I'm surprised I have to explain this, its extremely common trauma response and basically ubiquitous to toxic social groups, which I would expect anyone who would end up here to be familiar with.
I understand in theory where that can happen, but people really aren’t hassling strangers in public spaces. You’re talking about something that mostly happens in middle school, unless you just mean talking to a friend about how some other guy there is a little odd. >it hasn’t happened to me because I won’t go out alone
I think you have no idea what you’re talking about and have been eavesdropping on banter between friends thinking it’s picking on strangers. You are neurotic about this
Sounds like everything you said is what you do, you’re literally telling me you’re afraid to be alone in public because you’re insecure people will bully you, so when you’re out with other people you eavesdrop on other people’s conversation and accuse them of being insecure themselves for talking about other things. Your whole story that everyone’s just so anxious about themselves they have to attack other people in public, is such a bombastic accusation about strangers it’s crazy

Truth. Only reason anyone might disagree with this is if they're just plain unaware and have never paid attention or thought about these things, or if they're the exact type of people you're talking about and feel called out, or are desperately trying to cope by pretending people aren't superficial, judgemental buttholes and like it isn't common for people to act in those sorts of ways. Denial and rationalization is a lot of people's cope of choice.
Wrong. I spend most of my time in public looking at the people around me and judging them. I keep a journal of all their sad, pathetic habits that they think no one else is noticing.
People do care, though. People are judgemental. People judge everything you do and how you look, constantly. That "nobody cares" is bullshit.
How you look and act determines whether people accept you or not.
There's nothing wrong with going out by yourself. Yeah, you might get a moron or two once in a while who lacks manners. But you're not the problem there. They are. The reason they might give you a look or whisper something to their friend or make a dumb remark is because they're insecure themselves about being alone. They consider it a legitimate reason to treat a person as being weird for. So take pride in knowing you're not as pathetic and weak as they are how they feel the need to get a couple of fake friends just so they can go to the movies and give themselves an ego boost by looking down at the guy by himself who isn't bothered about being alone in the same way as they are. Don't be ashamed of standing out in life in general. There's gonna be many pathetic homosexuals who will try to drag you down because they're envious of seeing you acting in ways or enjoying things that they secretly wished to but allowed themselves to be discouraged from doing due to social pressures or fear of being judged or whatever. Its the kind of mentality of "don't you know doing this thing is weird? Why aren't you feeling ashamed like I did? Wow you're such a loser for not feeling as ashamed as I did and letting it discourage you from doing said weird thing. It makes me uncomfortable and lowkey feel bad about my own self so I'm gonna try to bring you down by trying to make you feel bad". Its a very childish and moronic mentality that a lot of people carry in life.
This is cope and you know it. Nothing is more pathetic than seeing a person not have even the most basic level of self awareness to not peddle their personal cope to the rest of the world as the objective truth. Thats how deeply you have internalized it. People do give a shit and act like rude morons if they perceive you as being weird for whatever reason, and they also don't give a shit sometimes. And it doesn't make you egocentric to notice and acknowledge that, moron.
There is a social stigma to it, but it's a self imposed one.
I got used to it travelling a lot for work, now it's not even an issue but the first couple times it was very awkward feeling.
No one gives a shit but many activities are coded in your brain to be group ones. The only time I ever notice someone alone is if they're defiantly taking a booth or large table to themselves rather than sit at the bar or whatever smaller seating is available.
Why do these sad pathetic people insist in inflicting their presence on others and dampening the mood? Going to the movies is a social event, for a family or a couple or friends. If you have neither of those just stay home and wait for the movie to come out, but if you expect me to not give a stick eye to the weirdo sitting by himself in the corner pretending that he's engaging in a completely normal activity by doing so then I'm afraid that's not Going to happen.
>but if you expect me to not give a stick eye to the weirdo sitting by himself in the corner pretending that he's engaging in a completely normal activity by doing so then I'm afraid that's not Going to happen.
no worries, but if you expect me to not ask you what the FRICK you think you're staring at and give you a fricking slap if you reply with something like >ha ha you're on your own!
then I'm afraid that's not going to happen either. oh and I've got one for your gay friend too if he wants to get involved. childish little b***h, worry about your own life not mine.
The reason I don’t go to movies alone and seldom go with friends is that audiences are more disrespectful every time I go. People talk at full volume, someone is standing up every two minutes, people trickle in well after the start of the movie, glowing phone screens everywhere, non-stop food noises, coughing, smells, etc. I have a big OLED and a properly set up Atmos system so I don’t feel like I’m missing anything even for a big budget action flick.
That looks like a troony. Of course trannies would normalize being alone because no one wants to be with them. Don't listen to this troony. Make lots of friends to spite this disgusting troony and go to the movies with them.
Back before they started the singles tax at my local movie theatre, I used to work there and one of the jobs was “the spotter”. You had to spot people who purchased single tickets and check to see if they sat alone. If they did, a group was called in to sit near them during the movie. Like 1 or 2 rows away no matter how empty the movie was. They’d just walk in and sit near them. Group was usually 2 guys and 2 girls or more depending on the number of singlets that were at the movie. They had to constantly laugh, make noises, look the person in the eye if they turned around, snicker, throw small pieces of popcorn, things like that. I was never part of that group because I wasn’t attractive enough, but they loved that job. Glad I left when they were talking about penis inspections because I could never do that job.
The main reason there is a stigma against it is because it is extremely boring to do those things alone.
Unless you're on your phone how would you just sit there by yourself for that long?
I mean that more for restaurants really. Movies you might just be a bit bored in the slow points they put in for people to talk over, but restaurants you are meant to chat with your companions while you sit around waiting and later eating.
There is no reason to be there by yourself.
I listen to a podcast, audiobook, or just read while at a lunch alone. Have you guys never been to school or something? Being some work to do and eat a hamburger. People do it all the time and it looks completely natural
>work all week >treat yourself to a nice sushi lunch after work or on a day off >’what the frick why would somebody do this?’
Are you stupid or just blind? In any given restaurant from hours 10am-4pm, there are always people eating alone, whether just for fun or because they’re in transit.
but it's incel scum who judge you, not normal people. I'm older than you, been to way more things alone than you and it was always the weird, stinky school shooter types hating, never real human beings.
Strange, I've hardly ever seen that in my lifetime. And I'm old as frick. And am out and about every day.
True. These guys can’t even wait in a line without getting nervous and daydreaming about shooting up the place. They’re paranoid about being judged or seen the way they are, meanwhile if they see one black person, internally the chud’s going apeshit trying to come up with the nastiest things to think about him
Lol the discord troon is breaking down and having a conversation with himself again.
I don't get why people bother posting these in response to people calling them samegay. It has never once worked in the history of the site. Like why even waste the effort making the screenshot and posting it?
God you frickers are so god dammed stunted, you can't even sit alone in silence for an hour. I eat alone at restaurants all the time. There's usually music playing, food doesn't take long to come out, waitress usually brings your drink first and bread with butter, so you're eating and drinking while the appetizer or main dish is being prepared. If you are sitting at a bar there's usually a television playing some sporting event. I've also just grabbed tables alone and sat and people watched, drank my bottle of wine, read a book, go through my purchases if I've been shopping that day. You zoomers are boring as shit, you need constant entertainment and validation.
Why do anything alone? I don’t. I only work just enough to have shelter and food and I don’t do shit because there’s no point. Going stargazing? Who cares it would just be cringe to think about later on. Stargazing with your lover? Could end up being the best memory of your life. But no I’m not gonna go sit out to eat alone what is the point of that I’ll just get groceries and eat at home. Right?
Dude you know you're a shut-in who avoids social situations on principle, why are you surprised that someone who's comfortable spending all that same time in public gets to meet people
>work all week >treat yourself to a nice sushi lunch after work or on a day off >’what the frick why would somebody do this?’

Because when I travel for work I'm not going to lock myself up in the hotel room and order room service for 2 weeks just because some insecure incel might see me, project his own insecurities onto me and think I'm weird for eating out alone? Frick off
to a restaurant alone >moronic shit, why would anyone do that?
Maybe I am fricking hungry and dont want to eat in my apartment and I want to eat something nice at a nice restaurant? Didnt think about that you stupid fricking poorgay incel b***h ass. Some people view it as pleasure to go out and so stuff
but it's incel scum who judge you, not normal people. I'm older than you, been to way more things alone than you and it was always the weird, stinky school shooter types hating, never real human beings.

Doing things alone really depends a lot on where you are. If you eat out alone in Greece people will think something is wrong with you, that you are sad and often invite you to come sit with them because eating out is viewed as a special social ocasion. Meanwhile if you eat out alone in Japan, even in michelin star restaurants, not a single person will care. A lot of the restaurants there even specifically cater to solo diners, which is why it's heaven on earth for autismos
Has anyone got the old greentext story of an anon going alone to antman (I think) and buying two seats and two popcorn and two drinks and pretending his companion just didn't show up?
Anybody who says "nobody gives a shit" has never interacted with anyone before, I am constantly seeing people berating strangers for the most innocuous things
When you grow up you'll realize that the opinions of a few low IQ strangers that you will never see again for the rest of your life and whose lives revolve around gossiping about people, even people they don't know, don't matter at all. If you are happy doing something that 1 out of 10 people might perceive as weird, you are in the right, to a certain point of course. Stop being so fricking insecure
>being around people who spend their time observing and berating strangers instead of enjoying themselves and ignoring the background noise
time to find new people to be around with instead of gutter trash like this
the real red pill is that everyone is too busy thinking about themselves and how they appear to others to give a single frick about you. so who gives a frick.
I don't know if ya'll are being serious or not but I'll tell you zoom zooms something very important that you need to know.
The ability to not care is the most important social skill you need and it's something you learn and foster through effort.
In social fights and really in dealing with people in general, the one who cares less is the winner. It'll carry you through some dark times and help you to get rid of some really bad people throughout your life. You need to always have a passive feeling of not caring and have the ability to use your logic and reasoning skills to flip on not caring like it's a switch.
You'll also need to actively pick and choose what is most important and worth caring about. You cannot care about everything, especially things out of your reach.
~~*society*~~ does it's best to hide this from you because it's so easy to control people who care too much, but you'll gain so much freedom and power by mastering this skill.
This is true. "Nobody cares!" is just bullshit your mother tells you when you're 13 years old. The other one is "You're not that interesting". This just isn't true. Normalspics are constantly looking for anything that breaks from their pattern of conformity. If you're weird, you are only allowed to be "weird" - belong to a selection of pre-approved "outsider" groups like goths or comic book readers. If you do too many things alone people pick up on that, and you will be mentally marked down as an incel shooter type. Eventually this will have consequences and you'll have to move towns.
It's really about timing, people who go alone are prone to bad experiences they must endure alone unlike groups of 2 or more that usually back each other up when something goes wrong.
When out in public, it is the largest group who remains on top of the social hierarchy and the loners who must be ready to fend for themselves and have the least say in what goes. By this I mean, groups of blacks/teenagers/boomers who act up and don't get held accountable as they wield power in numbers, unlike the loner who can just get ran out to "keep the peace"
Does any of that make sense here
>groups of blacks
It still amazes me that like 60% of Americans live in a "you will be robbed and beaten if you cross paths with the wrong group of strangers in public" zone
It's like fricking RPG aggro, how do you exist in that without eventually having a total mental breakdown
you can usually clear out the messicans by yelling "la migra, la migra" and nogs are generally sleeping during the day, they usually don't start waking up until normal people get off of work
Why is this? I have a black gf and she stays up until like 1 am lots of nights and sleeps until like 10am at the earliest. Ive had to literally force her out of bed some days to get ready for work. And she thinks its ok for her kids to stay up until like 11pm at night on school days. I dont understand. My white daughter is in bed by like 830-9pm and ready in the mornings for breakfast and school.
Maybe that's because I'm borderline autistic but I never ever gave it a thought, I go to the cinema with friends and my gf but I also go alone, an generally much prefer it that way.
Imagine giving a shit what NPCs are thinking lmao.
I got Korean bbq and hot pot alone the other day, it was incredible. I ordered so much food and just sat there listening to music while pounding fresh cooked meat off the grill, next time I’m going to focus on the beef belly slices dipped in the bulgogi sauce before cooking
I travel a lot. Sometimes with my girlfriend, sometimes with family, sometimes with friends and sometimes solo.
Solo is my absolute favorite way to travel. Absolute freedom to do whatever the frick I want and when I want it. When it gets lonely I can just google for a touristy bar nearby and go there to meet other solo travelers and make some loose plans to explore together. Some people, especially women, are incredibly scared to do things alone and end up being perceived as a loser. Being able to get past that fear and do things you want to do and that feel right to you is something every man should strive for. If you can't go on vacation somewhere without someone holding your hand, you're a child, not a man
>Some people, especially women, are incredibly scared to do things alone
To be fair, solo female travelers are in very real danger of being sex-kidnapped in most countries.
In some places like India and Bangladesh, traveling solo as a female is lunacy, but like half the world is incredibly safe. And solo female travelers never stay solo for long anyways. It takes them 1-2 days to either find a tourist guy to latch onto for protection and a good dicking, or a group of female tourist friends to hang out with. Male solo travelers on the other hand seem to enjoy solitude and only seek out social groups for sex or when loneliness starts to creep in after a week or two
>half the world >africa >south america outside designated tourists zones (the continent) >most of euroasia outside europe and far east >middle east
seems like way more then half the world. like the majority of it
Try traveling a little and actually going out to restaurants in big cities and you’ll see plenty of single women dining alone. Millions of people travel for work at any given moment and they dont need to be handheld by mommy like you do. They go out and experience shit on their own
The only thing about going to resturants alone is sometimes server will take an extremely long time to take your order because they assume you are waiting on someone.
I've never given a single thought, or even the slightest flying frick, if someone at the kinoplex is by himself or not. I'm fairly sure the same goes for 98% of the population.
You are correct. The 2% who do care are very insecure and project their insecurities onto everybody else. Caring about their opinions, especially when you don't even know them, is a waste of time and beyond moronic
>im too scared to go out alone because of what people will think!
Well will any of it be worse than the shit you think when you merely see a black person or a israelite?
The worst thing is going to the moves alone once because it implies you have been stood up or turned down. Or that you're forced to treat yourself because you have no friends. Go to the movies alone every week and people will just think you're an eccentric film fanatic. Enhance this image by buying the exact order of snacks every time.
Nobody thinks that shit, nobody recognized or knows you, no one will notice you, and if they did they would assume you wanted to see the movie so you just went out and did
Haha you people literally don’t think you deserve the goods and services you pay for. You literally think you are not welcome in society going outside and buying a meal
Spoiler - people like your business, and everyone else there is doing the same thing as you are, so you’re all buddies
This line of thinking is what differentiates manchildren and men. Manchildren are perpetually stuck in insecurity. Imagine being 40 year old and being scared of teenage girls laughing about your corny shoes or shirt. Millions of manchildren actually live their lives like this and it's pathetic
Nobody thinks that shit, nobody recognized or knows you, no one will notice you, and if they did they would assume you wanted to see the movie so you just went out and did
People are incredibly self absorbed. Most people don’t give a shit what you do, and this is coming from a man that is generally considered good looking. This was a very important realization for me when I got into conceal carrying. No one will notice if your gun prints unless they are eyeball fricking you.
>im a discord troon because I’m comfortable being in public alone, and I think you should be too

If people notice your CCW then you're doing it wrong
Saw Dunc 2 about a month after it came out
Somebody had already bought 1 ticket at the very center of the theater and I assumed it would be a fat man baby but it was actually a cutie nerd with glasses
There are some views-- you can't go to the movies alone, 25 yos shouldn't date 18 yos, women shouldn't breastfeed in public-- which are American incel nonsense. Nobody elsewhere gives a shit about any of that because it's all normal and part of everyday life
there's no stigma going to the movies alone. you're sitting in silence either way.
going to restaurants alone suck. the fun of it is to chat with someone
>those two things are different
They are, but the root cause of the "normalize doing x alone" stuff is that 1) social isolation is growing, and 2) there's a rhetorical toolkit on hand for "normalize [insert behavior]."
Americans don't have a handy cliché for "go out and make friends" when it comes to adults. Total social atomization is the default only very recently, historically-speaking. You ask an American twenty years ago about dining alone or going to the movies alone, they'd wonder why someone didn't have friends or family. Today, people increasingly only have "online friends" who aren't actual friends, and they don't get married or date.
You can eat, drink, smoke, pause, piss and shit freely at home. How could a theater compete? It's inferior in every way except screen size. The movie has to be really good to make it worth going to a theater for, and we have been in a serious entertainment drought for at least a decade. There has been 3, maybe 4 movies worth going to a theater for.
Last time I went to the movies by myself was a year or two before Covid, my wife was supposed to supposed to come with me but he had a fight and I just went by myself and got drunk in the movie theater. I dont even remember what it was, felt bad man.
Well MAYBE if you didn’t spent the last 20 years founding, developing and reinforcing to yourselves a massive stalking and bullying community and series of websites, dedicated solely to doxxing and making collaborative documentaries about random awkward strangers whose lives you try to ruin because you saw them try to post online or walk around in public, and spent all that time convincing and lying to yourself that that was right, then MAYBE YOU WOULDNT HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY ABOUT INNOCENT PEOPLE DOING THE SAME TO YOU. You ever think about that?
I once ate alone in a michelin starred restaurant in Tokyo that only had 10 seats around a counter facing the chefs. When I say alone I mean I was the only person in the entire place. I expected to have at least some other guests to talk to, but holy frick, it got awkward and boring after a while, especially because I couldn't pull out my phone to pass time either considering I was being eyeballed by the staff and you just don't do that in a restaurant of that caliber. It was a 9 course meal that lasted 3 hours
In hindsight I probably should have just pulled out my phone and let them kick me out. I must have read the menu like 500 times. I can still remember some of the dishes and this was years ago
lmao moron. They were not eyeballing you specifically but the state of your table, dishes and glasses instead. All so that they could provide service asap. A michellin star is not given to a restaurant just thanks to the food alone. The restaurant setting and privided service are essential too. And how will they provide service is they don't track what's happening on your table?
Of course I know that, but I meant that I had eyes on me at all times so I couldnt start breaking rules. Japanese high end restaurants are especially anal about adhering to customs and rules. I had read in the reviews that a couple had been kicked out because one of them requested a fork while eating a dish that is traditionally eaten with chopsticks. Yes it’s stupid but the cultural autism is usually part of the fun
>Is there really a big stigma about going to the movies alone?
Nope its literally just in your head
People dont care about you or what you do and considering you post on Cinemaphile they never will
I went to a concert alone when no one else wanted to go with. It was horrible just standing in silence waiting for the music to start. Once the concert started it was fine but I never wanted to do that again.
I dont have social anxiety I just dont see the point in going out by myself to spend 3x what I could just do at home. I can make a tasty meal, drink beer and watch kino on my couch with no pants on for a fraction of the price.
Also customer service has gone to shit the last few years. Every 3 or 4 months I might go out to eat just for shits and giggles and every time something is fricked up, the waiter/waitress, the food.. both.. when it costs you like $40- 50 minimum for a sit down place its not worth it any more and I may as well buy some meat and grill it myself at home. Drunk and naked
I want to get one of those hot pot grill combo heating elements for home, but honestly going out and buying all the meats and vegetables separately is probably more expensive than the all-you-can-eat.
Maybe I could ask them to cut a steak thin at the meat department, I never ask for unique cuts
When I go to college I always go in through the far back door where only janitors come in just so I can avoid running into anyone. When I am walking somewhere (which is always just from A to B, never stop anywhere) I'm constantly looking who is coming my way and if I see someone I vaguely recognize I immediately go to the other side of the street and pretend like I didn't see them just so I avoid the small talk. Back in high school I used to just literally stand in the bathroom stall doing nothing but waiting for the time to pass just so I don't have to bother talking to the other kids. Never eat in public alone ever, same for any activity is it going to movies/bars/whatever. It's gotten to a point that I don't even go to grocery stores if they don't have self-checkout.
It's just always easier to avoid interaction than to engage.
I was a terrible hermit after getting out of the military and for some reason my anxiety was through the roof. Didnt like talking with people, pretty much kept to myself at home for a while. Passed up a couple job offers because I literally couldnt stand people. Was the weirdest thing, though because I was always a social butterfly while I was in. Now I dont even want to see my gf most days because her dumb women shit stresses me out. I think something broke inside my brain along the way doing Army shit for all those years.
>Back in high school I used to just literally stand in the bathroom stall doing nothing but waiting for the time to pass
KEK, I'm sorry anon but that is just too bizarre to me to even hear and I have bad social anxiety myself sometimes. Try to talk to Jesus for help. I will even pray for you right now
I go everywhere alone because that's the best way to pick up chicks.
Grocery store? Chicks
Bar? Chicks
Bookstore? Chicks
Random walk in a busy shopping area? Chicks
Never listen to women. Do the opposite. I get a number pretty much everywhere I go.
>no one else gives a shit
thats not true. Insecure people are always looking for someone to shit on. If you go to a movie or restaurant alone there's always the chance someone will make fun of you since they have nothing else to say to their date.
This didn't happen to me since I'd never have the confidence to go alone but I've seen it happen plenty of times.
>not buying the ticket online and then pulling the stealth ninja entrance and exit move where you only enter the cinema 10-15 minutes after the official time when the lights are already down during ads/trailers and you storm out of the theater first just before the credits start to roll and the lights go up
it's like you guys don't even know how to be proper friendless kissless virgins
I used to go out to clubs and bars in Korea and get wasted, dance around all night getting grinded on etc. South Koreans know how to frickin party. Sometimes end up making out with a random chick and wouldnt remember it until morning. Also once hooked up with a cute Korean girl and we literally partied and drank all night and we went out for breakfast in the morning, got a hotel and fricked like rabbits. My first experience with asian pussy..was great
still barred from my local kinoplex for attacking the staff members I had trouble differentiating from the various villain characters I'd just watched convinced they were them
For 95% of every day dishes you don't need any talent at all, you just need to know how to read and that's it. Cooking is extremely easy, just follow a recipe. Hearing someone say "I can't cook" is the same as hearing someone say "I can't read".
Hell, even literal morons can cook decent meals today following step by step videos online.
Farthest from it mah boy. Its not too hard to look up some recipes, season it how you like and have a tasty home cooked meal. Id never cook professionally
Ive driven across the country a bit and you sometimes have those moments where you stop for a bite to eat and your alone. Nothing sad about that, but when you spend all day home alone and suddenly say "Ima go to my local Chilis or something, by myself..on a Thursday..!" Its a bit sad. Movies can be done alone, but not very enjoyable without a date or friend.
Either way. Im not going to schedule myself say a reservation at my nice local steakhouse or something and drink wine with a meal by myself. That just feels like Id be better off throwing a toaster in the bath after a long day
most restaurants have bars
if you go alone, you go to the bar to eat
only moronic asperger autists go to a sit-down restaurant and request a table for one
Yes. There was a picture of a guy sitting alone in a theater that was taken by a Zoomer with the flash on. The Zoomer making fun of the guy sitting alone.
Also, b***hes. they ae having these tiny little social wars with each other every day, that we just have no clue of. because they dont matter, and are a waste
I can't even tell if this is supposed to be funny or actually serious. The vast majority of time I've been to the movies it's with someone else. The few times I've gone by myself I've just bought popcorn, sat down in the middle of the theater, and not given a single thought if this was supposedly weird. Because it isn't.
I could see going to the opera or an actual play alone might be seen as odd. But nobody would actually care.
Going alone to an opera or play just means you're one of the only true fans. The only reason you would do that is if you alone really wanted to see the performance, with no distractions or ulterior motives. You would not be a loner, but an eccentric
You guys haven't lived until you've been in a fight with your girlfriend and then later you just leave by yourself and eat a delicious sushi dinner alone without her. The nectar of victory
>nobody else gives a shit
wrong, everyone pays attention on the people around them. they will instantly realize you're a loner and a weirdo
the rest is correct, though. who cares what anyone else is thinking anyway? if you want to go then just do it
There are so many reasons to go out alone besides being a loner weirdo, and there are enough 'loner weirdos' out there that nobody thinks anything of it. You think we live in some awesome world where everyone in a room is expected to be having the time of their life? There are so many people out there who live lives and moments of just being alone, it's not a scandal or anything people worry about seeing. There's a type of honor in loneliness anyways, we have entire songs about that
>caring about seeming pathetic when the entire business revolves around you as a customer
I don't get it, I go out to a steakhouse and as soon as you walk in an entire staff greets you and is working for you the entire time, you sit down and a woman is literally bringing you a steak, you can even ask for something stupid and they'll do it. Even at a movie theater, they're hired a bunch of teenagers and dressed them in little suits to run a whole popcorn station just to please you and make some money, how is anyone insecure in a situation like that? Unless you're just uncomfortable being served, or something like that. You're practically a king when visiting any decent business, to the point where their biggest worry is if you don't have the mercy to be polite, which is easy
Yes this is is why people pay top dollar for nice restaurants, and hotels, and theaters. Hospitality is a meritorious and laborious skill set, it's their job to make you feel like a king for the little bit of time you're there, to make your day, or vacation. It's like going to a spa, having the staff wait on you literally hand and foot, giving you massages and skin treatments. Everyone should be able to enjoy these things with no shame, especially while alone, it's supposed to be relaxing.
And I know there are food deserts and such, but for $25 you can get 95% of the luxury experience going to a Logan's or a Texas Roadhouse or an Outback or even an Applebees or a Fridays. You go into Jimmy Johns and they've even got it all nice for you, you can sit down and get free refills if you want. Shame people have trouble with this
>Going to the theater alone
I do this all the time when I don't feel like subjecting others to my particular tastes. It's not particularly infrequent that the rest of the theater is filled with singles when I do. Just do a matinee/midnight show not on release weekend, or wait a couple weeks to see a big movie.
>Going to dinner alone
Did this all the time when I worked late at the office. Just go to the bar.
The only people seriously worrying about this need to fix whatever they hate about themselves. If you're a normal looking person either no one will notice you or someone else who's alone will maybe try to talk to you.
They'll put you in a table or booth too oftentimes, if you don't specify, I just make sure to tip well
Of course maybe my restaurants just aren't as busy
I don't know if you're American, but here you're not even supposed to talk to the hostess if you're going to the bar. Just walk up to it and sit down. That's what makes it easier and more out of the way. I've been to maybe a handful of establishments that run counter to this rule and they're usually gimmick shit or I was meeting a big party at a private bar.
That's true, my etiquette might be off on that. I usually just talk to the hostess by habit and end up getting a table, though when the place is packed I'll just go to the bar.
The last time I went to the theater alone everything was fine until the scanner drone made a sweep of the theater I was in and detetcted that I had an empty seat on each side of me. An alarm immediately went off and within seconds the theater's anti-singles tac team rappelled down from the ceiling. One of them pinned me to the floor (it was sticky) with a Georg Floyd lock and his buddy shoved his MP5 in my face and started screaming at me. I told him I came with my gf and she was in the bathroom but then he confiscated my phone and saw that it was an Android. At that point, I knew it was over for me.
"normalizing" is always used in the context of something you can "just do". The whole point of normalizing something is to have external validation. That's what it is.
I saw the very definition of gilf while grocery shopping last week. Perky round ass, long white hair that reached to the middle of her back, tall, thin, beautiful face. I only managed to exchange smiles with her but I've been thinking about her since. Probably married, but I do love a good looking older woman.
This comes with age too. Im 34 and I go to the bar alone all the time because most of my friends have different work schedules, kids, or quit drinking entirely
Yeah, almost always some boomer that will strike up a conversation because theyre used to Bsing and small talk. I guess most zoomers these days just dont go out, or when they do they confine themselves to a few places they know
Nta but yeah they do. I probably get approached a little more than the average guy since I'm decent looking. Usually they can tell I'm not in a chatting mood so they'll end the conversation and move on, so it's never too bothersome.
NTA but I get approached by people all the time in public (cafes, restaurants mostly). I doubt it has much to do with looks (I'm average at best). Some people are a bore, but I find there's often a lot to learn by listening to others.
>Nobody else gives a shit
She's wrong, though. Normies only go to the movies if it's with someone else. I go by myself, but I'm going regularly to see as many movies as possible. For normies, if they go to the cinema it's to see a blockbuster or something marketable, so you go with friends.
So I agree with her and also think she's a dumb b***h.
I've only ever done it twice, the clone wars and one of the hunger games movies and it was to burn some time while waiting for my gf to get off work or something. I dont really care what anyone thinks about it
I went to the cinema by myself only one time. I was enjoying myself until the captain of the highschool basketball team dribbled a basketball off of my head. His mixed-race girlfriend (who looked like Zendaya) told him to stop picking on people. That made me burst out in tears. I stayed for the rest of Barbie, but I seethed the entire time and can't remember anything that happened plotwise.
No, there isn't. And all this stuff is already completely normalized, essentially nobody gives a shit if you go to a movie or restaurant alone and if they're one of the rare exceptions who does care, they're insane.
People don´t really care unless it´s legit creepy. Like, don´t go watch children movies (capeshit) as an adult with no kids of your own. At least borrow a nephew. It´s the equivalent of getting a dog to not looking sad when going for a walk.
As for going to a restaurant you can get away with it by exuding success. Mostly anyone should be able to manage looking like a winner without actually being one. I mean, if i am understanding the "issue" correctly the "problem" would be looking like a loser right?
Oh yeah, it's been weird since I started going. I never gave anyone looks for it, nor talked shit about them to my friends, but yeah. I started liking movies that my friends didn't, so I started going alone. It feels weird especially if you're got empty seats neighbouring you, but once the lights dim, it's alright. A couple of movies I had to struggle not to weep (Hero, and another one with Zi Yi Zang or what her name is) and that does not feel good. Stopped going to movies a few years back, it's insanely expensive now, the ads are out of colour and filled with Black folk and other woke shit, the zoomers are intolerable, I have a huge oled screen and atmos at home. Hope it goes breasts up tbh.
I told a girl at work that I went to the cinema over the weekend. She pressed who with, since she knew I was single. I said by myself. She looked at me funny.
You basically told her you'd rather go alone than ask her out.
You offended her.
She wanted you to ask her out so she could play games and ultimately turn you down, only then would she consider it understandable you went out alone.
>normalize not seeking external validation
Except if you do something out of NPC playbook like going to the movies alone there's gonna be a dozen of drooling zoomers recording you with their iBlack folk and posting it all over the internet
Okay so people are le bad. None of that means anything. You want to hide in your fricking room the rest of your life so you don't make people mad at you for inane shit? If there's no way to get around it then it doesn't matter, go out and do shit and stop worrying. People will seethe and hate you regardless.
If you don't bother people, people are usually content to just ignore you.
If they do bother you, it's probably because they're criminals. Carry a gun, flashlight, knife, or all 3 if you're allowed.
the way in which normalgays can enter a culture completely blind to its nuances and bulldoze it with their narcissism is something you need to see to believe.
an entire thread of singles policy and falcon-posting and Robert, nuked into oblivion by normalgay virtue signaling and e-preening and autism.
Twitter posters need validation for everything they do
This. Its the hilarious "I have social anxiety but post everything I do on social media" trend
Fippy to dat muhfuggin Bippy
Kinda makes sense when you put it that way.
It's Cheaper and more fulfilling to just make your own food and eat at home. Watching movies at home is free and you can skip around and pause whenever you need to. Going out with friends is the only reason to go out and do things that way anymore.
some ppl want to get out of the house tho..
It's nice to leave the house for something other than work or errands now and then
I did that all the time before the pandemic, who cares what people think
I dont know. I think some people feel this way. For me it is not a problem. I do what I want.
Same, back when I still went to the movies, I went alone all the time. Two arm rests full time, no debating the right day or time. No picking a movie that you both want to see, and both haven’t seen yet. No need to find four empty seats, so the two of you can have an arm rest. People that are concerned about this kind of shit are hive-minded homosexuals, that crave being “okay good boys” under the subjugating focus of lesser morons. I would be willing to bet that @bananafitz got all of they/them’s shots. Just go watch a movie if you want, why the hell would you even care what someone else might think. A rational person would realize, people don’t care, or would even remember if they did. I have never been somewhere, and then focused on someone being alone, and gave a single shit. You must think you are the center of everyone’s world to think everyone is watching you. Absolute frickong homosexuals.
yeah. extremely thin skinned and insecure "people"
Stay inside
>OMG FRIENDLESS LOSER TOUCH GRASS
Go outside
>OMG FRIENDLESS LOSER
BY HIMSELF
Are you really that egocentric that you think other people gives a shit about you? No. Everyone is fricking concerned by their own world. Most people think about themselfs and their close friends/family. You are not that important so others will go and spend their time and energy thinking about you or whatever. People are all caught up in their own world.
They're not. Me and my friends make fun of people all the time.
People are always judging. if you are a disgusting smelly moron with bad skin and bad hair they will see you and feel bad about you
Everyone is constantly looking and on top of that, everyone is now carrying a high resolution camera in their pockets to take pics and record videos of your horrible face
Try going naked outside and tell me no one notices you. Try doing something stupid like running in circles yelling stuff about aliens: you'll be on instagram as a meme in 10 minutes. You'll be in the story feed of over 100 people.
Seriously if you think no one cares and no one sees anything you are just autistic and wrong
Bro you got some serious issues or you are like 15 years old. No one fricking cares. I do whatever I want all the time. Get over yourself.
Well his logic was his personal group feels the need to gossip about random ugly people and then he used hyperbole to say people notice things. As if eating alone is anywhere near as strange or interesting as running around naked.
He's definitely below 18.
this
everyone notices even if they don't "care"
that shit cripples me
What’s there to notice? What situation are you worried about happening
If going outside alone is like going outside naked or babbling schizo shit to you, you’re either a real problem or you have way more social anxiety than you realize. People see and judge, but none of it matters. I have stood in line behind the fattest smelliest truckers eating pepperoni sticks with their mouth open scratching lottery tickets and coughing, and I might think horrible things about them, but they never mind. They just keep on chain scratching lottery tickets and eating fried food. They don’t feel shame, so why should I? If it’s a weekday off and I want a nicer lunch, I’ll be the homeless looking guy at the all-you-can-eat sushi, looking like a mess minding my own business. Why worry?
On a spectrum of weirdness worth talking about, running in circles yelling stuff about aliens and doing something by yourself like going to the movies or eating out, are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.
If you laugh at a man you don't even know because he's at the cinema by himself, which could be for a thousand different reasons like something as simple as wanting to pass time while his wife shops for furnitute, then something is seriously wrong with you and you've got some mental baggage that needs to be dealt with by a professional. Sooner rather than later
Pretty much, plus what’s the big idea anyways, isn’t a big awkward smelly fat guy in a giant coat SUPPOSED to be at the movies alone? Isn’t over-perfumed loudmouth b***h supposed to be at the bank? Where else is emaciated mush mouth poor black guy supposed to be, besides holding up the line at the liquor store counting coins trying to buy single shots of fireball and a 20oz malt liquor? I may think mean things occasionally, but never have I seen anyone approach someone else and say ‘what the frick we don’t allow ugly Americans in our store, get out’, especially in a world where most people are some type of weird. Who cares? Does anyone actually think these people shouldn’t be out at the gas station or eating a burger by themselves or some shit?
This line of thinking is what differentiates manchildren and men. Manchildren are perpetually stuck in insecurity. Imagine being 40 year old and being scared of teenage girls laughing about your corny shoes or shirt. Millions of manchildren actually live their lives like this and it's pathetic
>Imagine being 40 year old and being scared of teenage girls laughing about your corny shoes or shirt.
This is the worst thing and itll happen to all of us
He’s saying it easily avoidable and he doesn’t have that problem. You should get over it too
>You should get over it too
I can for a while, until the alcohol wears off and runs out.
The corny part, yes. The scared of laughing teenage girls part? Absolutely not. Grow up
Absolutely yes, whenever i see a group of them i have to cross the street to avoid them.
It's not normal or healthy. Go to a shrink and work through your deep seated insecurities
>Go to a shrink
Why would i pay someone until i agree with them? Shits stupid
So you can learn to go outside without being scared of high school girls lmao. You ever notice how quickly you swap between abject self-pity and megalomaniacal distrust of others?
>So you can learn to go outside
I wouldnt even go outside if i didnt have to
Right, which is why you should get over your social anxiety
Its alright over 3 decades on this planet ive been able to learn some methods and routines to deal with it. Such as crossing the street when teenage girls are coming towards me, and minimizing time outside.
Right, right, living with fear
Pretty much, once you do it for 30 years you get used to it.
Did you know fear and excitement is the same thing. They never tell you that
Haha what a sadsack you are.
you and your friends are piles of shit and clearly young, close to underage probably. You don't matter.
>insecure losers spend their time looking for even bigger losers to laugh at to make themselves feel better
A tale as old as time
>Me and my friends make fun of people all the time.
Oh no, the fricktarded zoomers are staring
You really think a man alone going into a restaurant to get a coffee or something look that strange to people?
You are a huge homosexual
People are disagreeing with this but everytime I look around I catch AT LEAST one person looking at me and we catch eyes. There's some truth in this post
They look at you, think for few seconds, and then forget about you once out of LOS.
>oh no i saw someone looking at me!
Come on, man
Some people have really weird brains that run on anxiety. Had a girlfriend like that, one date night she was feeling anxious and worried about people staring for some reason that I've forgotten. It annoyed me enough that I decided to yell at the top of my lungs to show her no one gave a shit. Not one fricking person around us even turned in our general direction. All of these anons claiming people are paying attention are stupid.
Haha yeah, my girlfriend's the same way.
>live in a society full of cameras
>see dozens of videos online every single day of people being caught on camera doing all manner of embarrassing things
>LOL DUDE NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION
>WHY ARE YOU SO PARANOID BRO
This type of anxiety is a perfectly normal response to living in modern society.
That's just you with a tinfoil hat on
99.9% of the time there's no one looking at any of the footage.
And how often do you see people take out there phones and randomly record anything? Almost never.
The fact is that everyone is carrying around internet-connected cameras in their pocket and the more people there are in one place the more likely it is that any of them could be filming at any time, even if they're not intentionally filming you specifically. I don't think it's all that unreasonable to be worried about that kind of thing, and certain venues can make it more likely than others.
Yes but what of it? You're being record 24/7 if you're not at home. So you just constantly be afraid to live your life? You think there are people watching you specifically? That's called mental illness, anon.
>mental illness is when you have a logical reaction to the reality you live in
No, mental illness is everyone ignoring reality.
That's internet addiction. I've been out a lot and never have I seen someone recording me for a youtube video, have you?
>le autistic zoomer Cinemaphileer with brogoli hair is le making fun of me
AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>b-but if you act like an insane, disgusting maniac people will notice!
lmao keep beating up that strawman
I would have sat with her and had a good conversation. Then later take her home and nut all up in her holes. Make the b***hes in the back jealous they arent getting any cum.
I would have sat with all of them and take them all home and nut in all their holes, leaving you stranded with nothing while the girls point and laugh at you
You wouldnt do shit, with your dried up mutilated cut little penis, looking like a little smokey sausage peeking out from your fupa fat.
And that’s what no one did
If you tried this, everyone would be laughing at YOU instead, even the girl recording herself with the tripod
They're laughing at her because she set up a tripod to record herself, not because she is alone.
The girl in the blue and white shirt is cute. Would date.
This:
Women are incapable of self-awareness. Why was she even doing that? You can't just sit down and enjoy whatever this event is, you really have to set up a camera to record yourself for the entire duration? You can even see they're pointing at the camera and recording the camera. She got what she deserved, she's a huge loser but not because she went to an event alone, because she was annoyingly recording herself and others at an event for no reason.
left one is hot, right is ugly
I mean shes annoying for recording her and everyone behind her for internet points, but theyre total b***hes in the back for sneering and laughing at her (and then recording her back, no self awareness) like schoolgirls. basically they all should be skinned
touch grass. if you had a good deal of experience with people you'd know that theres a good amount of them that struggle to find things to talk about, but are terrified by 'awkward silence' so they'll scan the room looking for something to make fun of, and a person alone at what they consider a group activity is sweet relief for them.
So what, you figure someone is thinking bad about you in their head? Does anyone ever get up and walk across the room and bully you? Probably not. Has anyone here ever had an altercation like this that wasn’t in literal high school or lower? Adults just don’t bother
>So what, you figure someone is thinking bad about you in their head? Does anyone ever get up and walk across the room and bully you? Probably not. Has anyone here ever had an altercation like this that wasn’t in literal high school or lower? Adults just don’t bother
No this doesn't happen to me because I wouldn't go out alone. But I observe it all the time, and been a part of toxic groups like this, and they're common.
they don't necessarily want to think bad about you, they're just suffering some degree of uncomfortablility by not having anything to say, and will find something to talk about at any cost, to people other than themselves. They avoid talking about themselves because they have a lack of self worth or usually past trauma from being made fun of for who they are, so rather they scan the environment for topics to talk about.
If they see someone they can make fun of this is huge relief for them also because it means they'll no longer feel as though they're at the bottom of the totem pole for the group they're with and thus wont be bullied.
I'm surprised I have to explain this, its extremely common trauma response and basically ubiquitous to toxic social groups, which I would expect anyone who would end up here to be familiar with.
I understand in theory where that can happen, but people really aren’t hassling strangers in public spaces. You’re talking about something that mostly happens in middle school, unless you just mean talking to a friend about how some other guy there is a little odd.
>it hasn’t happened to me because I won’t go out alone
I think you have no idea what you’re talking about and have been eavesdropping on banter between friends thinking it’s picking on strangers. You are neurotic about this
Sounds like everything you said is what you do, you’re literally telling me you’re afraid to be alone in public because you’re insecure people will bully you, so when you’re out with other people you eavesdrop on other people’s conversation and accuse them of being insecure themselves for talking about other things. Your whole story that everyone’s just so anxious about themselves they have to attack other people in public, is such a bombastic accusation about strangers it’s crazy
>Sounds like everything you said is what you do,
I've already said the opposite of this, so no, but you're free to that opinion
>If they see someone they can make fun of this is huge relief for them also because it means they'll no longer feel as though they're at the bottom of the totem pole for the group they're with and thus wont be bullied.
Truth. Only reason anyone might disagree with this is if they're just plain unaware and have never paid attention or thought about these things, or if they're the exact type of people you're talking about and feel called out, or are desperately trying to cope by pretending people aren't superficial, judgemental buttholes and like it isn't common for people to act in those sorts of ways. Denial and rationalization is a lot of people's cope of choice.
It’s more autistic than egocentric I think
Wrong. I spend most of my time in public looking at the people around me and judging them. I keep a journal of all their sad, pathetic habits that they think no one else is noticing.
I judge every person I see
i used to do this but it made my mental illness worse. now i try to think kind things about the people i see. sounds insane i know
Good man. That shit work, too, by the way
Using "fricking" as an amplifier is the mark of a redd*tor.
Using "amplifier" in place of adverb/adjective is peak reddit behavior
100% true and the replies are seething over their own self-imposed insecurity.
People do care, though. People are judgemental. People judge everything you do and how you look, constantly. That "nobody cares" is bullshit.
How you look and act determines whether people accept you or not.
There's nothing wrong with going out by yourself. Yeah, you might get a moron or two once in a while who lacks manners. But you're not the problem there. They are. The reason they might give you a look or whisper something to their friend or make a dumb remark is because they're insecure themselves about being alone. They consider it a legitimate reason to treat a person as being weird for. So take pride in knowing you're not as pathetic and weak as they are how they feel the need to get a couple of fake friends just so they can go to the movies and give themselves an ego boost by looking down at the guy by himself who isn't bothered about being alone in the same way as they are. Don't be ashamed of standing out in life in general. There's gonna be many pathetic homosexuals who will try to drag you down because they're envious of seeing you acting in ways or enjoying things that they secretly wished to but allowed themselves to be discouraged from doing due to social pressures or fear of being judged or whatever. Its the kind of mentality of "don't you know doing this thing is weird? Why aren't you feeling ashamed like I did? Wow you're such a loser for not feeling as ashamed as I did and letting it discourage you from doing said weird thing. It makes me uncomfortable and lowkey feel bad about my own self so I'm gonna try to bring you down by trying to make you feel bad". Its a very childish and moronic mentality that a lot of people carry in life.
This is cope and you know it. Nothing is more pathetic than seeing a person not have even the most basic level of self awareness to not peddle their personal cope to the rest of the world as the objective truth. Thats how deeply you have internalized it. People do give a shit and act like rude morons if they perceive you as being weird for whatever reason, and they also don't give a shit sometimes. And it doesn't make you egocentric to notice and acknowledge that, moron.
This has never happened to anyone who wasn't such a hapless sperg that they make everyone notice they're on their own
I regularly go to movies, concerts, and diners alone. Never had an issue before
There is a social stigma to it, but it's a self imposed one.
I got used to it travelling a lot for work, now it's not even an issue but the first couple times it was very awkward feeling.
No one gives a shit but many activities are coded in your brain to be group ones. The only time I ever notice someone alone is if they're defiantly taking a booth or large table to themselves rather than sit at the bar or whatever smaller seating is available.
Why do these sad pathetic people insist in inflicting their presence on others and dampening the mood? Going to the movies is a social event, for a family or a couple or friends. If you have neither of those just stay home and wait for the movie to come out, but if you expect me to not give a stick eye to the weirdo sitting by himself in the corner pretending that he's engaging in a completely normal activity by doing so then I'm afraid that's not Going to happen.
>but if you expect me to not give a stick eye to the weirdo sitting by himself in the corner pretending that he's engaging in a completely normal activity by doing so then I'm afraid that's not Going to happen.
no worries, but if you expect me to not ask you what the FRICK you think you're staring at and give you a fricking slap if you reply with something like
>ha ha you're on your own!
then I'm afraid that's not going to happen either. oh and I've got one for your gay friend too if he wants to get involved. childish little b***h, worry about your own life not mine.
i dont care if youre alone or not. if you go to the movies youre a gay
The reason I don’t go to movies alone and seldom go with friends is that audiences are more disrespectful every time I go. People talk at full volume, someone is standing up every two minutes, people trickle in well after the start of the movie, glowing phone screens everywhere, non-stop food noises, coughing, smells, etc. I have a big OLED and a properly set up Atmos system so I don’t feel like I’m missing anything even for a big budget action flick.
That looks like a troony. Of course trannies would normalize being alone because no one wants to be with them. Don't listen to this troony. Make lots of friends to spite this disgusting troony and go to the movies with them.
Back before they started the singles tax at my local movie theatre, I used to work there and one of the jobs was “the spotter”. You had to spot people who purchased single tickets and check to see if they sat alone. If they did, a group was called in to sit near them during the movie. Like 1 or 2 rows away no matter how empty the movie was. They’d just walk in and sit near them. Group was usually 2 guys and 2 girls or more depending on the number of singlets that were at the movie. They had to constantly laugh, make noises, look the person in the eye if they turned around, snicker, throw small pieces of popcorn, things like that. I was never part of that group because I wasn’t attractive enough, but they loved that job. Glad I left when they were talking about penis inspections because I could never do that job.
>missing out on penis inspection day
Queer
The main reason there is a stigma against it is because it is extremely boring to do those things alone.
Unless you're on your phone how would you just sit there by yourself for that long?
I mean that more for restaurants really. Movies you might just be a bit bored in the slow points they put in for people to talk over, but restaurants you are meant to chat with your companions while you sit around waiting and later eating.
There is no reason to be there by yourself.
>Movies you might just be a bit bored in the slow points they put in for people to talk over,
I will find you and I will hurt you.
>Unless you're on your phone how would you just sit there by yourself for that long?
normally, you adhd riddled zoomer moron
Normally people talk to friends at the restaurant. That's the point. No friends, no phone, then what do you do? It's not natural
I listen to a podcast, audiobook, or just read while at a lunch alone. Have you guys never been to school or something? Being some work to do and eat a hamburger. People do it all the time and it looks completely natural
Lol the discord troon is breaking down and having a conversation with himself again.
>im a discord troon because I’m comfortable being in public alone, and I think you should be too
Not all my posts, by the way
NTA but it’s probably all your seething about White people that made everyone think you’re a troon. KYS btw
When did I ever mention white people? Don’t tell me you associate the race with anxiety itself
I don't get why people bother posting these in response to people calling them samegay. It has never once worked in the history of the site. Like why even waste the effort making the screenshot and posting it?
>the incel soon to be troony is seething again and thinknig everyone that puts him in his place is just one person
el oh el, your kind is so pathetic
you just keep getting btfo
>unless you're on your phone
Do zoomers short circuit if you take away their phones for more than 5 minutes?
clearly. They're the permaonline generation, pure NPCs.
God you frickers are so god dammed stunted, you can't even sit alone in silence for an hour. I eat alone at restaurants all the time. There's usually music playing, food doesn't take long to come out, waitress usually brings your drink first and bread with butter, so you're eating and drinking while the appetizer or main dish is being prepared. If you are sitting at a bar there's usually a television playing some sporting event. I've also just grabbed tables alone and sat and people watched, drank my bottle of wine, read a book, go through my purchases if I've been shopping that day. You zoomers are boring as shit, you need constant entertainment and validation.
>the slow points they put in for people to talk over
I hope somebody smashes your face in with a brick
I don't go anywhere without my dog.
Why do anything alone? I don’t. I only work just enough to have shelter and food and I don’t do shit because there’s no point. Going stargazing? Who cares it would just be cringe to think about later on. Stargazing with your lover? Could end up being the best memory of your life. But no I’m not gonna go sit out to eat alone what is the point of that I’ll just get groceries and eat at home. Right?
Pathetic. no wonder you have no friends, girlfriend or memories worth a damn.
>bro just go out to the movies alone so you can get a gf
???
Dude you know you're a shut-in who avoids social situations on principle, why are you surprised that someone who's comfortable spending all that same time in public gets to meet people
>work all week
>treat yourself to a nice sushi lunch after work or on a day off
>’what the frick why would somebody do this?’
Are you stupid or just blind? In any given restaurant from hours 10am-4pm, there are always people eating alone, whether just for fun or because they’re in transit.
>going to the cinema alone
perfectly normal
>going to a restaurant alone
moronic shit, why would anyone do that?
>going to a restaurant alone
>moronic shit, why would anyone do that?
Because when I travel for work I'm not going to lock myself up in the hotel room and order room service for 2 weeks just because some insecure incel might see me, project his own insecurities onto me and think I'm weird for eating out alone? Frick off
What's you job? Travelling moron?
>gets aggressive because some dude doesnt mind eating alone
that insecure incel part hit a little too close to home, huh?
clearly. You just know that
is a pathetic friendless, gfless incel who gets social anxiety from even looking at a cashier
to a restaurant alone
>moronic shit, why would anyone do that?
Maybe I am fricking hungry and dont want to eat in my apartment and I want to eat something nice at a nice restaurant? Didnt think about that you stupid fricking poorgay incel b***h ass. Some people view it as pleasure to go out and so stuff
Poor people will never understand this. Don't bother.
All twitter users should be castrated and lobotomized
Correct answer
i've gone to movies alone all my life and it's fricking great. normies are just dumb c**ts. they get literal anxiety from being by themselves
but it's incel scum who judge you, not normal people. I'm older than you, been to way more things alone than you and it was always the weird, stinky school shooter types hating, never real human beings.
True. These guys can’t even wait in a line without getting nervous and daydreaming about shooting up the place. They’re paranoid about being judged or seen the way they are, meanwhile if they see one black person, internally the chud’s going apeshit trying to come up with the nastiest things to think about him
Doing things alone really depends a lot on where you are. If you eat out alone in Greece people will think something is wrong with you, that you are sad and often invite you to come sit with them because eating out is viewed as a special social ocasion. Meanwhile if you eat out alone in Japan, even in michelin star restaurants, not a single person will care. A lot of the restaurants there even specifically cater to solo diners, which is why it's heaven on earth for autismos
Has anyone got the old greentext story of an anon going alone to antman (I think) and buying two seats and two popcorn and two drinks and pretending his companion just didn't show up?
Anybody who says "nobody gives a shit" has never interacted with anyone before, I am constantly seeing people berating strangers for the most innocuous things
no you're not
When you grow up you'll realize that the opinions of a few low IQ strangers that you will never see again for the rest of your life and whose lives revolve around gossiping about people, even people they don't know, don't matter at all. If you are happy doing something that 1 out of 10 people might perceive as weird, you are in the right, to a certain point of course. Stop being so fricking insecure
>being around people who spend their time observing and berating strangers instead of enjoying themselves and ignoring the background noise
time to find new people to be around with instead of gutter trash like this
Cite several examples.
meow meow pussy boy
Strange, I've hardly ever seen that in my lifetime. And I'm old as frick. And am out and about every day.
depends where you live. in polite societies people will just judge you quietly, it's rare for someone to confront you about anything in some places
I haven't seen somebody do that since I was in middle school. You need to be 18 to post here.
the real red pill is that everyone is too busy thinking about themselves and how they appear to others to give a single frick about you. so who gives a frick.
I don't know if ya'll are being serious or not but I'll tell you zoom zooms something very important that you need to know.
The ability to not care is the most important social skill you need and it's something you learn and foster through effort.
In social fights and really in dealing with people in general, the one who cares less is the winner. It'll carry you through some dark times and help you to get rid of some really bad people throughout your life. You need to always have a passive feeling of not caring and have the ability to use your logic and reasoning skills to flip on not caring like it's a switch.
You'll also need to actively pick and choose what is most important and worth caring about. You cannot care about everything, especially things out of your reach.
~~*society*~~ does it's best to hide this from you because it's so easy to control people who care too much, but you'll gain so much freedom and power by mastering this skill.
This is true. "Nobody cares!" is just bullshit your mother tells you when you're 13 years old. The other one is "You're not that interesting". This just isn't true. Normalspics are constantly looking for anything that breaks from their pattern of conformity. If you're weird, you are only allowed to be "weird" - belong to a selection of pre-approved "outsider" groups like goths or comic book readers. If you do too many things alone people pick up on that, and you will be mentally marked down as an incel shooter type. Eventually this will have consequences and you'll have to move towns.
I honestly don't know what it's like to go out with friends. I've always been a lonely loser.
Same, I don't have to normalize anything, I just don't have any friends left.
It's really about timing, people who go alone are prone to bad experiences they must endure alone unlike groups of 2 or more that usually back each other up when something goes wrong.
When out in public, it is the largest group who remains on top of the social hierarchy and the loners who must be ready to fend for themselves and have the least say in what goes. By this I mean, groups of blacks/teenagers/boomers who act up and don't get held accountable as they wield power in numbers, unlike the loner who can just get ran out to "keep the peace"
Does any of that make sense here
>groups of blacks
It still amazes me that like 60% of Americans live in a "you will be robbed and beaten if you cross paths with the wrong group of strangers in public" zone
It's like fricking RPG aggro, how do you exist in that without eventually having a total mental breakdown
you can usually clear out the messicans by yelling "la migra, la migra" and nogs are generally sleeping during the day, they usually don't start waking up until normal people get off of work
Why is this? I have a black gf and she stays up until like 1 am lots of nights and sleeps until like 10am at the earliest. Ive had to literally force her out of bed some days to get ready for work. And she thinks its ok for her kids to stay up until like 11pm at night on school days. I dont understand. My white daughter is in bed by like 830-9pm and ready in the mornings for breakfast and school.
People are more afraid of a loner because they're unpredictable.
Maybe that's because I'm borderline autistic but I never ever gave it a thought, I go to the cinema with friends and my gf but I also go alone, an generally much prefer it that way.
Imagine giving a shit what NPCs are thinking lmao.
good for you, i guess? frick off normie
No, but theaters are pretty dead.
Consistently find myself to be one out of maybe 5 people in the theater.
No idea how they stay in business.
I got Korean bbq and hot pot alone the other day, it was incredible. I ordered so much food and just sat there listening to music while pounding fresh cooked meat off the grill, next time I’m going to focus on the beef belly slices dipped in the bulgogi sauce before cooking
>going to breakfast alone
peak comfy
>going to lunch alone
perfectly normal especially in a work setting
>going to dinner alone
fricking freak
I travel a lot. Sometimes with my girlfriend, sometimes with family, sometimes with friends and sometimes solo.
Solo is my absolute favorite way to travel. Absolute freedom to do whatever the frick I want and when I want it. When it gets lonely I can just google for a touristy bar nearby and go there to meet other solo travelers and make some loose plans to explore together. Some people, especially women, are incredibly scared to do things alone and end up being perceived as a loser. Being able to get past that fear and do things you want to do and that feel right to you is something every man should strive for. If you can't go on vacation somewhere without someone holding your hand, you're a child, not a man
>Some people, especially women, are incredibly scared to do things alone
To be fair, solo female travelers are in very real danger of being sex-kidnapped in most countries.
In some places like India and Bangladesh, traveling solo as a female is lunacy, but like half the world is incredibly safe. And solo female travelers never stay solo for long anyways. It takes them 1-2 days to either find a tourist guy to latch onto for protection and a good dicking, or a group of female tourist friends to hang out with. Male solo travelers on the other hand seem to enjoy solitude and only seek out social groups for sex or when loneliness starts to creep in after a week or two
>half the world
>africa
>south america outside designated tourists zones (the continent)
>most of euroasia outside europe and far east
>middle east
seems like way more then half the world. like the majority of it
I only give guys "the look" when they're going alone to Thailand or Philippines
Why is a guy ITT seething over incels?
No one has mentioned that word except you.
Yeah there is 1 guy saying it over and over in his seethe-chain. Ctrl + f "incel" you'll see.
I did ctrl+f. Your two posts are literally the only ones in the thread that say that word.
I'm surprised how many normal looking/attractive women go alone too.
they're always married though. you will never see a single normal looking attractive woman dining or watching a movie alone, ever
t. midwestern basement dweller
Try traveling a little and actually going out to restaurants in big cities and you’ll see plenty of single women dining alone. Millions of people travel for work at any given moment and they dont need to be handheld by mommy like you do. They go out and experience shit on their own
The only thing about going to resturants alone is sometimes server will take an extremely long time to take your order because they assume you are waiting on someone.
I ride a motorcycle so I can look more kino while actually being an autistic loner
Kingly. What do u ride? Helmet? Gloves?
The lone wolf..
I've never given a single thought, or even the slightest flying frick, if someone at the kinoplex is by himself or not. I'm fairly sure the same goes for 98% of the population.
You are correct. The 2% who do care are very insecure and project their insecurities onto everybody else. Caring about their opinions, especially when you don't even know them, is a waste of time and beyond moronic
>im too scared to go out alone because of what people will think!
Well will any of it be worse than the shit you think when you merely see a black person or a israelite?
>there are literal troons and obese disabled minorities who are more comfortable in public than some anons
Fricking hilarious
She's right.
When you are an adult you have lots of occasions to eat or watch a film alone.
I never go alone, i always have my friend morgan with me. Captain morgan that is.
The worst thing is going to the moves alone once because it implies you have been stood up or turned down. Or that you're forced to treat yourself because you have no friends. Go to the movies alone every week and people will just think you're an eccentric film fanatic. Enhance this image by buying the exact order of snacks every time.
Nobody thinks that shit, nobody recognized or knows you, no one will notice you, and if they did they would assume you wanted to see the movie so you just went out and did
Haha you people literally don’t think you deserve the goods and services you pay for. You literally think you are not welcome in society going outside and buying a meal
Spoiler - people like your business, and everyone else there is doing the same thing as you are, so you’re all buddies
He's still going!
Meds and therapy for your crippling insecurity that prevents you from doing things you like without having your hand held
People are incredibly self absorbed. Most people don’t give a shit what you do, and this is coming from a man that is generally considered good looking. This was a very important realization for me when I got into conceal carrying. No one will notice if your gun prints unless they are eyeball fricking you.
The whole point CCW is so people don't realize you're carrying so you don't appear to be as big a threat you tard
If people notice your CCW then you're doing it wrong
Saw Dunc 2 about a month after it came out
Somebody had already bought 1 ticket at the very center of the theater and I assumed it would be a fat man baby but it was actually a cutie nerd with glasses
Did you suck his dick?
Nah, finally dragged the wife to go so it so I couldn't get away with something like that
There are some views-- you can't go to the movies alone, 25 yos shouldn't date 18 yos, women shouldn't breastfeed in public-- which are American incel nonsense. Nobody elsewhere gives a shit about any of that because it's all normal and part of everyday life
Being in a theater is usually such a miserable experience, you kind of need someone to share it with, otherwise it's just unbearable.
there's no stigma going to the movies alone. you're sitting in silence either way.
going to restaurants alone suck. the fun of it is to chat with someone
>those two things are different
They are, but the root cause of the "normalize doing x alone" stuff is that 1) social isolation is growing, and 2) there's a rhetorical toolkit on hand for "normalize [insert behavior]."
Americans don't have a handy cliché for "go out and make friends" when it comes to adults. Total social atomization is the default only very recently, historically-speaking. You ask an American twenty years ago about dining alone or going to the movies alone, they'd wonder why someone didn't have friends or family. Today, people increasingly only have "online friends" who aren't actual friends, and they don't get married or date.
You can eat, drink, smoke, pause, piss and shit freely at home. How could a theater compete? It's inferior in every way except screen size. The movie has to be really good to make it worth going to a theater for, and we have been in a serious entertainment drought for at least a decade. There has been 3, maybe 4 movies worth going to a theater for.
I've never gone to movie alone but I've gone to restaurants alone loads of times like for lunch and shit. It never seemed weird to me at all.
Last time I went to the movies by myself was a year or two before Covid, my wife was supposed to supposed to come with me but he had a fight and I just went by myself and got drunk in the movie theater. I dont even remember what it was, felt bad man.
troony? Women don't think like this
I thought you were being paranoid, but then I checked the profile pic and holy shit, that jaw lol
Well MAYBE if you didn’t spent the last 20 years founding, developing and reinforcing to yourselves a massive stalking and bullying community and series of websites, dedicated solely to doxxing and making collaborative documentaries about random awkward strangers whose lives you try to ruin because you saw them try to post online or walk around in public, and spent all that time convincing and lying to yourself that that was right, then MAYBE YOU WOULDNT HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY ABOUT INNOCENT PEOPLE DOING THE SAME TO YOU. You ever think about that?
I once ate alone in a michelin starred restaurant in Tokyo that only had 10 seats around a counter facing the chefs. When I say alone I mean I was the only person in the entire place. I expected to have at least some other guests to talk to, but holy frick, it got awkward and boring after a while, especially because I couldn't pull out my phone to pass time either considering I was being eyeballed by the staff and you just don't do that in a restaurant of that caliber. It was a 9 course meal that lasted 3 hours
>I was being eyeballed by the staff and you just don't do that in a restaurant of that caliber. It was a 9 course meal that lasted 3 hours
lmao
In hindsight I probably should have just pulled out my phone and let them kick me out. I must have read the menu like 500 times. I can still remember some of the dishes and this was years ago
lmao moron. They were not eyeballing you specifically but the state of your table, dishes and glasses instead. All so that they could provide service asap. A michellin star is not given to a restaurant just thanks to the food alone. The restaurant setting and privided service are essential too. And how will they provide service is they don't track what's happening on your table?
Of course I know that, but I meant that I had eyes on me at all times so I couldnt start breaking rules. Japanese high end restaurants are especially anal about adhering to customs and rules. I had read in the reviews that a couple had been kicked out because one of them requested a fork while eating a dish that is traditionally eaten with chopsticks. Yes it’s stupid but the cultural autism is usually part of the fun
Man frick people who aren’t fluent in chopstick
>Is there really a big stigma about going to the movies alone?
Nope its literally just in your head
People dont care about you or what you do and considering you post on Cinemaphile they never will
in Europe its accepted
in America its usually a mass-shooter
I went to a concert alone when no one else wanted to go with. It was horrible just standing in silence waiting for the music to start. Once the concert started it was fine but I never wanted to do that again.
What do you do when the music starts? Just attempt to dance? Would definitely need drugs for that
I dont have social anxiety I just dont see the point in going out by myself to spend 3x what I could just do at home. I can make a tasty meal, drink beer and watch kino on my couch with no pants on for a fraction of the price.
Also customer service has gone to shit the last few years. Every 3 or 4 months I might go out to eat just for shits and giggles and every time something is fricked up, the waiter/waitress, the food.. both.. when it costs you like $40- 50 minimum for a sit down place its not worth it any more and I may as well buy some meat and grill it myself at home. Drunk and naked
I want to get one of those hot pot grill combo heating elements for home, but honestly going out and buying all the meats and vegetables separately is probably more expensive than the all-you-can-eat.
Maybe I could ask them to cut a steak thin at the meat department, I never ask for unique cuts
Boomers do it all the time, wheres the stigma?
I actively avoid people my whole life.
When I go to college I always go in through the far back door where only janitors come in just so I can avoid running into anyone. When I am walking somewhere (which is always just from A to B, never stop anywhere) I'm constantly looking who is coming my way and if I see someone I vaguely recognize I immediately go to the other side of the street and pretend like I didn't see them just so I avoid the small talk. Back in high school I used to just literally stand in the bathroom stall doing nothing but waiting for the time to pass just so I don't have to bother talking to the other kids. Never eat in public alone ever, same for any activity is it going to movies/bars/whatever. It's gotten to a point that I don't even go to grocery stores if they don't have self-checkout.
It's just always easier to avoid interaction than to engage.
what a sigma mindset does to a mfer
I was a terrible hermit after getting out of the military and for some reason my anxiety was through the roof. Didnt like talking with people, pretty much kept to myself at home for a while. Passed up a couple job offers because I literally couldnt stand people. Was the weirdest thing, though because I was always a social butterfly while I was in. Now I dont even want to see my gf most days because her dumb women shit stresses me out. I think something broke inside my brain along the way doing Army shit for all those years.
>Back in high school I used to just literally stand in the bathroom stall doing nothing but waiting for the time to pass
KEK, I'm sorry anon but that is just too bizarre to me to even hear and I have bad social anxiety myself sometimes. Try to talk to Jesus for help. I will even pray for you right now
I go everywhere alone because that's the best way to pick up chicks.
Grocery store? Chicks
Bar? Chicks
Bookstore? Chicks
Random walk in a busy shopping area? Chicks
Never listen to women. Do the opposite. I get a number pretty much everywhere I go.
>no one else gives a shit
thats not true. Insecure people are always looking for someone to shit on. If you go to a movie or restaurant alone there's always the chance someone will make fun of you since they have nothing else to say to their date.
This didn't happen to me since I'd never have the confidence to go alone but I've seen it happen plenty of times.
People need to realize that nobody gives a frick about you. Do whatever you want. Nobody is waiting for you to screw up or humiliate yourself.
Most women don’t know about the no singles policy unless they work at the kinoplex. One of those “need to know” security protocols
>not buying the ticket online and then pulling the stealth ninja entrance and exit move where you only enter the cinema 10-15 minutes after the official time when the lights are already down during ads/trailers and you storm out of the theater first just before the credits start to roll and the lights go up
it's like you guys don't even know how to be proper friendless kissless virgins
I go to the theater alone and always buy three tickets so no one can sit next to me.
>not many ticket sales, Robert says you can sit anywhere
>people sit next to you anyways
I went to the movies alone in 2015 and now I can't get a loan anywhere.
I used to go out to clubs and bars in Korea and get wasted, dance around all night getting grinded on etc. South Koreans know how to frickin party. Sometimes end up making out with a random chick and wouldnt remember it until morning. Also once hooked up with a cute Korean girl and we literally partied and drank all night and we went out for breakfast in the morning, got a hotel and fricked like rabbits. My first experience with asian pussy..was great
still barred from my local kinoplex for attacking the staff members I had trouble differentiating from the various villain characters I'd just watched convinced they were them
What if I know that I'm a loser? Yes I'm a friendless loser, now give me my perfect seat IMAX ticket please thank you
I wouldn't know, the last movie I saw in the theater was Avatar 15 years ago.
The fun at restaurants is eating the food. The fun at going to the cinema is watching the movie.
>The fun at restaurants is eating the food
If it's just about the food, why eat in the restaurant then? Just take it home.
Or cook the same shit but better at home for like $15 instead of 50
Not everyone is a talented chef mate.
For 95% of every day dishes you don't need any talent at all, you just need to know how to read and that's it. Cooking is extremely easy, just follow a recipe. Hearing someone say "I can't cook" is the same as hearing someone say "I can't read".
Hell, even literal morons can cook decent meals today following step by step videos online.
Farthest from it mah boy. Its not too hard to look up some recipes, season it how you like and have a tasty home cooked meal. Id never cook professionally
Ive driven across the country a bit and you sometimes have those moments where you stop for a bite to eat and your alone. Nothing sad about that, but when you spend all day home alone and suddenly say "Ima go to my local Chilis or something, by myself..on a Thursday..!" Its a bit sad. Movies can be done alone, but not very enjoyable without a date or friend.
This. Ive never eaten at a place alone unless Im travelling and literally just need some food to survive
Either way. Im not going to schedule myself say a reservation at my nice local steakhouse or something and drink wine with a meal by myself. That just feels like Id be better off throwing a toaster in the bath after a long day
I kinda like how girls cling to me and follow me everywhere. Its very cute how you're jealous, now you're gonna watch garbage with me.
I can easily go the movies alone but cannot eat a restaurant or a diner alone 🙁
most restaurants have bars
if you go alone, you go to the bar to eat
only moronic asperger autists go to a sit-down restaurant and request a table for one
>most restaurants have bars
Tried doing that as well and just sat there looking at my phone and felt uncomfortable
sounds like a "i have all my personal needs met by other activities" problem
Yes. There was a picture of a guy sitting alone in a theater that was taken by a Zoomer with the flash on. The Zoomer making fun of the guy sitting alone.
I'm seeing posts about this supposed stigma on Reddit and nowhere else.
exactly. reddit is a world unto itself.
Also, b***hes. they ae having these tiny little social wars with each other every day, that we just have no clue of. because they dont matter, and are a waste
Really? It’s been a meme here probably a decade
>probably a decade
Even longer.
I can't even tell if this is supposed to be funny or actually serious. The vast majority of time I've been to the movies it's with someone else. The few times I've gone by myself I've just bought popcorn, sat down in the middle of the theater, and not given a single thought if this was supposedly weird. Because it isn't.
I could see going to the opera or an actual play alone might be seen as odd. But nobody would actually care.
Stop being prisoners to your own prejudice.
Going alone to an opera or play just means you're one of the only true fans. The only reason you would do that is if you alone really wanted to see the performance, with no distractions or ulterior motives. You would not be a loner, but an eccentric
going to a restaurant alone is MVP mad men shit, its what people who make a lot of money working while traveling do
Yeah, but they go in wearing nice suits, not pajama bottoms and a stained anime shirt.
Going to a movie alone would imply that there are any movies in theaters that I want to watch (lol)
You guys haven't lived until you've been in a fight with your girlfriend and then later you just leave by yourself and eat a delicious sushi dinner alone without her. The nectar of victory
>nobody else gives a shit
wrong, everyone pays attention on the people around them. they will instantly realize you're a loner and a weirdo
the rest is correct, though. who cares what anyone else is thinking anyway? if you want to go then just do it
There are so many reasons to go out alone besides being a loner weirdo, and there are enough 'loner weirdos' out there that nobody thinks anything of it. You think we live in some awesome world where everyone in a room is expected to be having the time of their life? There are so many people out there who live lives and moments of just being alone, it's not a scandal or anything people worry about seeing. There's a type of honor in loneliness anyways, we have entire songs about that
I saw Joker alone in theaters and even brought a couple of those little vodkas with me and no one cared
>caring about seeming pathetic when the entire business revolves around you as a customer
I don't get it, I go out to a steakhouse and as soon as you walk in an entire staff greets you and is working for you the entire time, you sit down and a woman is literally bringing you a steak, you can even ask for something stupid and they'll do it. Even at a movie theater, they're hired a bunch of teenagers and dressed them in little suits to run a whole popcorn station just to please you and make some money, how is anyone insecure in a situation like that? Unless you're just uncomfortable being served, or something like that. You're practically a king when visiting any decent business, to the point where their biggest worry is if you don't have the mercy to be polite, which is easy
Yes this is is why people pay top dollar for nice restaurants, and hotels, and theaters. Hospitality is a meritorious and laborious skill set, it's their job to make you feel like a king for the little bit of time you're there, to make your day, or vacation. It's like going to a spa, having the staff wait on you literally hand and foot, giving you massages and skin treatments. Everyone should be able to enjoy these things with no shame, especially while alone, it's supposed to be relaxing.
And I know there are food deserts and such, but for $25 you can get 95% of the luxury experience going to a Logan's or a Texas Roadhouse or an Outback or even an Applebees or a Fridays. You go into Jimmy Johns and they've even got it all nice for you, you can sit down and get free refills if you want. Shame people have trouble with this
>Going to the theater alone
I do this all the time when I don't feel like subjecting others to my particular tastes. It's not particularly infrequent that the rest of the theater is filled with singles when I do. Just do a matinee/midnight show not on release weekend, or wait a couple weeks to see a big movie.
>Going to dinner alone
Did this all the time when I worked late at the office. Just go to the bar.
The only people seriously worrying about this need to fix whatever they hate about themselves. If you're a normal looking person either no one will notice you or someone else who's alone will maybe try to talk to you.
They'll put you in a table or booth too oftentimes, if you don't specify, I just make sure to tip well
Of course maybe my restaurants just aren't as busy
I don't know if you're American, but here you're not even supposed to talk to the hostess if you're going to the bar. Just walk up to it and sit down. That's what makes it easier and more out of the way. I've been to maybe a handful of establishments that run counter to this rule and they're usually gimmick shit or I was meeting a big party at a private bar.
That's true, my etiquette might be off on that. I usually just talk to the hostess by habit and end up getting a table, though when the place is packed I'll just go to the bar.
It's a generational thing. For boomers it would be unthinkable to do that stuff alone. Now it's normal.
judging by this very bread comments and the absolute amount of obviously underaged neurotics its the exact opposite
The last time I went to the theater alone everything was fine until the scanner drone made a sweep of the theater I was in and detetcted that I had an empty seat on each side of me. An alarm immediately went off and within seconds the theater's anti-singles tac team rappelled down from the ceiling. One of them pinned me to the floor (it was sticky) with a Georg Floyd lock and his buddy shoved his MP5 in my face and started screaming at me. I told him I came with my gf and she was in the bathroom but then he confiscated my phone and saw that it was an Android. At that point, I knew it was over for me.
"normalizing" is always used in the context of something you can "just do". The whole point of normalizing something is to have external validation. That's what it is.
I sat alone in a bakery just this morning. While I was drinking my coffee a GILF started chatting me up. Shit was so cash.
I saw the very definition of gilf while grocery shopping last week. Perky round ass, long white hair that reached to the middle of her back, tall, thin, beautiful face. I only managed to exchange smiles with her but I've been thinking about her since. Probably married, but I do love a good looking older woman.
When you spend 99% of your time alone, going to movies and restaurants by yourself becomes second nature.
This comes with age too. Im 34 and I go to the bar alone all the time because most of my friends have different work schedules, kids, or quit drinking entirely
Do strangers ever approach you to talk when you go alone?
Yeah, almost always some boomer that will strike up a conversation because theyre used to Bsing and small talk. I guess most zoomers these days just dont go out, or when they do they confine themselves to a few places they know
Nta but yeah they do. I probably get approached a little more than the average guy since I'm decent looking. Usually they can tell I'm not in a chatting mood so they'll end the conversation and move on, so it's never too bothersome.
NTA but I get approached by people all the time in public (cafes, restaurants mostly). I doubt it has much to do with looks (I'm average at best). Some people are a bore, but I find there's often a lot to learn by listening to others.
>Nobody else gives a shit
She's wrong, though. Normies only go to the movies if it's with someone else. I go by myself, but I'm going regularly to see as many movies as possible. For normies, if they go to the cinema it's to see a blockbuster or something marketable, so you go with friends.
So I agree with her and also think she's a dumb b***h.
I've only ever done it twice, the clone wars and one of the hunger games movies and it was to burn some time while waiting for my gf to get off work or something. I dont really care what anyone thinks about it
Just saw this last night.
Now this is kino. Looks like they've got the nice reclining seats too. Yep definitely kino
Normalize not posting twitter screencaps on Cinemaphile
I went to the cinema by myself only one time. I was enjoying myself until the captain of the highschool basketball team dribbled a basketball off of my head. His mixed-race girlfriend (who looked like Zendaya) told him to stop picking on people. That made me burst out in tears. I stayed for the rest of Barbie, but I seethed the entire time and can't remember anything that happened plotwise.
No, there isn't. And all this stuff is already completely normalized, essentially nobody gives a shit if you go to a movie or restaurant alone and if they're one of the rare exceptions who does care, they're insane.
the point is its never not been normal
only self conscious sensitive twitter homosexuals thought otherwise
ZOOM IN
Let's see why a "girl" would be saying this.
No
t. incel pile of shit making excuses and crying, like always
I've only ever gone to the theater alone once.
None of my friends or family wanted to watch Hereditary since they thought it looked too intense.
So I said frick it, went alone, and wrote down notes in a notepad the entire movie to make people think I was a reviewer.
One of my more autistic moments.
have a nice day
seriously
People don´t really care unless it´s legit creepy. Like, don´t go watch children movies (capeshit) as an adult with no kids of your own. At least borrow a nephew. It´s the equivalent of getting a dog to not looking sad when going for a walk.
As for going to a restaurant you can get away with it by exuding success. Mostly anyone should be able to manage looking like a winner without actually being one. I mean, if i am understanding the "issue" correctly the "problem" would be looking like a loser right?
>borrow a nephew
None of my siblings have kids or spouses either.
What a fricking loser.
Oh yeah, it's been weird since I started going. I never gave anyone looks for it, nor talked shit about them to my friends, but yeah. I started liking movies that my friends didn't, so I started going alone. It feels weird especially if you're got empty seats neighbouring you, but once the lights dim, it's alright. A couple of movies I had to struggle not to weep (Hero, and another one with Zi Yi Zang or what her name is) and that does not feel good. Stopped going to movies a few years back, it's insanely expensive now, the ads are out of colour and filled with Black folk and other woke shit, the zoomers are intolerable, I have a huge oled screen and atmos at home. Hope it goes breasts up tbh.
Ads are out of control*

I told a girl at work that I went to the cinema over the weekend. She pressed who with, since she knew I was single. I said by myself. She looked at me funny.
You basically told her you'd rather go alone than ask her out.
You offended her.
She wanted you to ask her out so she could play games and ultimately turn you down, only then would she consider it understandable you went out alone.
i go the movies alone most weekends, it's nice to get out of the apartment. never gave a seconds thought about what people might think about me
>normalize not seeking external validation
Except if you do something out of NPC playbook like going to the movies alone there's gonna be a dozen of drooling zoomers recording you with their iBlack folk and posting it all over the internet
Okay so people are le bad. None of that means anything. You want to hide in your fricking room the rest of your life so you don't make people mad at you for inane shit? If there's no way to get around it then it doesn't matter, go out and do shit and stop worrying. People will seethe and hate you regardless.
The ushers threw me out roughly for my last singles trip. Can I sue?
Everyone talks shit, you included, but none of it matters because we're all in the same boat. Does that make sense to you?
Aw man who shit in the boat?
We all shit in the boat. You and I are doing it now. People talk shit and people vent, its no big deal
My boat smells like coconut tanning oil and virgins
If you don't bother people, people are usually content to just ignore you.
If they do bother you, it's probably because they're criminals. Carry a gun, flashlight, knife, or all 3 if you're allowed.
the way in which normalgays can enter a culture completely blind to its nuances and bulldoze it with their narcissism is something you need to see to believe.
an entire thread of singles policy and falcon-posting and Robert, nuked into oblivion by normalgay virtue signaling and e-preening and autism.
