    Never been on my own, I personally don't think I'd enjoy it as much and would feel awkward. I don't think there is anything wrong with it though.

    When I lost my job a few years ago and was unemployed for a few months I used to go during the day by myself a couple times a month. Do you need someone to watch TV with at home? It's the same f---ing thing

    If it wasn't $11.50 to see a movie I'd go on my own more frequently than I do. I love movies but my attention span at home sucks and it's impossible to not get interrupted.

    I used to always go with someone else but nowadays I almost always go by myself, I prefer it anyways. I get very annoyed when people talk during a movie in a theater so I even kinda choose where I sit carefully, try to make it so there won't be anyone directly behind me so I don't hear them eating popcorn/whispering or if they're total d----s, talking at a normal volume.

    I would have thought it was weird in the past too but not sure why I would have thought that, think it's just kinda what people are led to believe for whatever reason cuz obviously people wouldn't think it's weird to watch a movie by yourself at home. So why's it different if you're at the theater where you're not even supposed to talk during the film? I love getting high before movies and then just chilling watching everything myself, it's great.

    Not at all, I actually prefer it sometimes. Saw Ted 2 alone a few weeks ago and laughed my a--- off.

    Same, I went to see Slaughterhouse and a MMG concert (Rick Ross, Wale, etc.) a couple years ago by myself.

    Gone to a few movies alone. No one I knew wanted to go see it or had already gone. They don't want to go, f--- em. I'm not going to miss something I want to see for fear of being looked as awkward for being in a movie theater alone.

    Yeah, if I'm hungry and no one's around and I feel like grabbing dinner I sit at the bar and eat by myself like a grownup. I also worked in a restaurant for a bunch of years and people would eat by themselves all the time. Are you allowed to drive and piss by yourself?

    I could eat mcdonalds by myself, but literally going out my way to eat out a nice a--- resturant, nah man....I need that company to enjoy the ambience and discuss the food and other things.

    I woudn't go cinema by myself either tbh, just wouldn't be the same. I enjoy my own company, and I'm quite the introvert, but there are some events which are just suited to the company of others. .Each to his own though.

    It's like sex. Is it better with someone else? Sure, but you can do it by yourself and it's not bad

    I've never gone to the movies alone but I don't think it's weird as a matter a fact its on my 'bucket list' to go alone once and then maybe go more often. don't find it weird at all

    I don't mind going to the movies alone, but i'd probably feel awkward going alone to a nice restaurant where food gets served at your table.

    Waitress is like "How many are are"
    You: "By myself"
    Waitress: "We don't have one person tables, but I can give you to a table for two"
    You: "Okay"

    I've never done it but I can imagine some people would find it sad or strange but really who gives a f---?
    Their opinion of you really doesn't matter in the long run.
