I agree. Most can't be in public without a friend or lover. I don't get it.


I think some people feel awkward alone in public. There is a major social stigma against doing things alone like going to a movie, eating in a sit down restaurant, or attending a concert by one's self. I have had some good times doing things on my own, but they feel rather hollow and empty. It's more fun to do things with friends or a significant other even though that usually requires some compromises. I wouldn't be shocked if half of all unmarried couples are mostly together just so that each person has someone to go to things with that they otherwise wouldn't feel like they could do single.

Is there really? Because I think it's more the insecurity of the person going alone than anything else. Most people don't notice or care if you do something alone.

Man, probably 50% of the time I'd rather go do something alone so I'm not tied to entertaining anyone. I like being a complete shite show social butterfly type that runs by the seat of my pants and wants to meet every single person in a bar I walk into.

I give zero fricks what people thing about me going out drinking alone.
