I've been going out alone to all kinds of places for years. Nobody blinks an eye.

One time I went alone to a restaurant on Valentine's Day and somebody paid for my meal. I wasn't even lonely.

It is normal. Just do it. People who have an issue with this are creating their own problems. It's a YOU problem.

On the other hand, I'm autistic and have no frame of reference for some of the things I want to do. How can I just show somewhere alone without knowing the social norms?

I go to restaurants, concerts and other shit by myself all the time. I go some Sporting events by myself, even out of town. In fact, I'm going to take a nostalgia road trip and watch an indoor soccer match.

Everyone in here saying how fun going to the movies alone is. Idk. I've done it before, it was pretty lame. I'd way rather go with a friend and have someone to talk about the movie with. Going all alone sucks.

Eh, went to my first concert by myself. Lost my spot when I had to pee and got to watch my favorite band from side stage.

There’s nothing stopping you from asking another adult from taking a picture of you without your phone held up in the middle of it like a caveman brandishing the first burning branch.

The restaurant one makes sense. Don't wanna get your food poisoned when you need to walk away to use the bathroom.

They aren't asking for permission. They are asking for attention.

I want to go to the comfy movies but all the seating is loveseat couches. I might have to share that with a stranger. So anyways I heard WoW is good again?

The ones I go to have armrests that fold down. No need to share with others.

Ooh so I can pretend they don't exist. I like that.
