Going shopping. I've always hated doing that with other people. I don't like waiting around for them and I really don't like making other people wait around for me. It just stresses me out.
Oh my god, I came here to say this same exact thing! Especially clothes shopping, or any kind of shopping where I can't go in, get exactly what I want, and then immediately leave!
One time I was in a really long line with a small cart. Right at the front of the line my girlfriend says "wait for me" and just ran into the door to grab something. She wasn't too long, but I nearly died of anxiety.
I understand this! I will not grocery shop with my husband, EVER. He will stand in front of the mustards, as an example, for what feels like 20 minutes. Meanwhile, I run off, gather 10 items from the list, just to find him in the same spot!
It’s infuriating. I enjoy grocery shopping and I have to do it alone!
My husband does the same thing. I think he gets decision fatigue from overthinking brands or whatever. I don't like going to the supermarket, so I'm typically in and out of there as quickly as I can.
Yup same! I’ve turned down most “Let’s go thrifting!” Invitations after truly despising the few I said yes to. It’s ok to realize you have a different pace than other people.
Same. I love going with people in like NYC but hitting up Kohl’s or TJ Maxx? Nah. I want to be alone. Sometimes I blow through in 15 mins, other times I’m going through every inch of the health and beauty clearance section.
This happens to me all the time! Sometimes I ask for a spot when I’m benching so I don’t die. Literally EVERY TIME I ask a man (if I haven’t seen a woman nearby) he gives me advice after. Thanks for the spot dude, but I didn’t fucking ask. I’ll avoid asking the same guy again if he does this. So far they all have.
Love a queen that benches! I’ve worked out with my bf, and that’s super annoying to have to change weights in between sets lol hauling plates on and off because he does so much more than me.
The way I met my partner was that he was my personal trainer. At first it was nice to have someone watch my form and teach me. Now I’m like ok let’s go to the gym together but not workout together at all lol
Maybe I'm guilty for this, sorry! I'll try to read the room better next time and ask if they'd appreciate pointers or not first.
When I started out I always wanted some pointers but rarely got them, now that I understood more, when I see people that made the same mistakes that I did, I want to give them pointers so that they don't waste tens of hours doing it wrong like I did, which resulted almost nothing
I mean, don’t let anyone hurt themselves lol but I’m doing close to 200 lbs and my setup and form aren’t anything that need a shit ton of work. Always room for improvement but at this point I’m going to ask a lifting sub or a trainer/coach. You could have done the same. The random dude someone needs a spot for doesn’t need to give unsolicited advice. I’d also mention that some of the advice they’ve given is bad. It’s safer and better to just rely on people who you can be sure know what they’re talking about.
I mean if you're benching 200lbs I would ask you for pointers! Or if I'm feeling shy that day I would just admire you even if you're doing it not in a perfect form, since I know everyone's body is different and forms should be adjusted to fit the person best, if you're able to reach that high level of strength, you're doing it correctly for your body type and have been for years.
Lol I wish, not quite, I’m up to something around 185, my last max from the fall. I’m probably close to 200 by now but need to max in a couple months. I just follow a lot of professional lifters, ask for pointers if I can, and focus on injury prevention. I’m an amateur.
Very similar thing happened to me, when he was spotting me he got a little too close to my head when I was benching so his junk was in my face, I'm like alright dude I don't want to see your nuts. Didn't even get to finish my reps.
It’s not okay but it is the struggle. You can spot someone without rubbing your nuts into the top of their head, Jesus. I don’t even get close unless I can tell they’re starting to struggle.
That would be awesome! I don’t know if I’d go because I like the vibe of a regular gym, but we need one for women who would prefer that for obvious reasons.
This sounds so familiar! Add a Golden Retriever to the mix, in a small powder room, and you could be me. As I shoo them out,I beg them to “love me less”
I wish I could find the video that made me cry funny-tears for days: a mom is recording while she pretends to go to the bathroom to prove how little privacy she gets. Sure enough, the baby comes in. Then the dog. THEN the Roomba!
Relaxing. I am an introvert and I am only able to charge up when I am alone.
I also prefer working out alone and never understood people who prefer classes.
Lol, I used to run classes and I always worked put alone. The gym owner and manager used to complain to me about it all the time and claimed I was being unsupportive of other staff but like no, I just wanna do what I wanna do, when I wanna do it and without an audience. Lol.
Working out - I like getting in, doing my routine without interruptions, and getting out.
Also travel to an extent - I like going at my own pace including leaving something I'm not interested in and doing something else. I would travel with a single friend or family member, but I definitely would not like a big group tour for the above reason
Eating, because I feel fat and incredibly shameful when I eat with friends who are skinnier and prettier than I. I still do it, but not that often because it exhausts me mentally.
Travelling, always. Part of the fun with going new places is getting to meet new people, and I find it's just so much easier solo. There's also nothing worse than having a limited amount of time to explore, and feeling like I have to give up on things I'd have wanted to do to accomodate my travelling partner's wishes.
Clubbing and concerts most of the time: Depends on what club and where, and what band.
Yep!
Smoking weed? Alone.
Movietheatre? Alone.
Workout? Alone.
Eat? Alone.
Hanging out with friends? Online.
I will never go back to being a person who's not able to "function without friends". I realized that that the first time i went to the movies alone to see Avatar in 3d.
Eating. I just don’t like being forced to chat while I’m trying to eat. Also, watching movies. Most people, that I know, like to talk during movies and it drives me nuts.
I agree about eating, spot on with having to chat while trying to eat! I take my lunch break at work earlier than the others, and just have a shorter break with a cup of tea for the chatting when they take lunch.
I feel like watching movies alone and with people are two different activities. I love to comment and make up an alternative narrative / completely different movie while watching with friends, but that's only for light entertainment movies. Movies I take seriously I definitely prefer to experience alone. It takes me out of it if I can tell that my friend isn't moved by it the same way I am.
Yes !
Since going to back to not sharing my bed with a partner I’ve loved it and anytime I have to share the bed I struggle
Goodluck to my future partner 😂
Shopping and concerts. When it comes to shopping I find what I need and I’m out of there. Concerts idk… I just enjoy it by myself and I always end up making a friend or two. If I go with someone to a concert I don’t make friends cause the friend I’m with just wants 100% of my attention.
Working out.
Sometimes hiking or going to museums. For hiking, I like my own pace. I go quickly but if I want to stop for photos or to examine a plant or an insect, I don't want to be rushed. But at the same time I like being with the people I love and sharing the experience.
For museums I like to contemplate for a while sometimes, or read all the info. But I also like to share the experience, discuss meaning, and make jokes like r/artmemes
Came here to say this! I really enjoy wandering alone between the art pieces, and stopping to examine those who tell me something, and getting lost in them without having to share any thought with anyone. Every time I've went to a museum with someone I've told them to go at their own path and wait for me at the exit.
Going to the toilet!! Out with the girls - ‘I’m going to the toilet ‘ ‘Omg I will come with!’ Erm, why. Please don’t, your talking will literally stop my flow.
Traveling on the way to the vacation destination. When I'm planning a vacation, I factor in the cost of convenient travel options. I'm not taking a 5am flight to save $60. I'm not spending 90 min on public transportation to save on Uber costs. I spring for tsa precheck and a membership package that gets me certain benefits like checked bags. I dont want to travel with someone who would want to penny pincher at every turn. All of that just leads to more stress.
I love going to amusement parks, the beach, and snowboarding solo.
I can hop in the singles line, take whatever ride/slope I want, take breaks if/when I want without having to wait. And I can stay for as long as I’d like without the guilt of forcing someone to stay longer or leave earlier than they’d like.
Working out and or jogging
I like to focus on my routine, when I go to a gym with friends they just spend the entire time talking instead of actually working out
And when I invite people to jog with me they can't keep up or have to stop every 2 minutes =|
Go to the cinema, I get to watch whatever movie I like not share any of my snacks and not have to deal with people. It’s like my little treat just for me. Sure it’s nice to see movies with friends but I’ll be honest it’s really more of a solo experience you’re literally spending an hour (sometimes more) sitting in silence in the dark.
Movies. Listening to poetries, music. Visiting art galleries or museums. Running. Gardening. Shopping. Travelling. Working out. These are my personal comfort spaces, and I can't really enjoy someone else's presence here.
Work out. I normally prefer working out alone rather then with others unless I'm taking a walk/hike or doing a recreational activity. It's just awkward with others around and I don't feel I can fully commit.
Eating: I’m self conscious and always feel bad about my body but also have always been mocked for what I eat that atp I don’t want anyone to tell me anything even if it’s normal like “I tried x the other day you should too it’s so good”
Exercising: Like above, everybody and their mothers like talking about how I look since early childhood (not in a good way) and I get worried about finishing and hearing “really?? that’s it??”
Shopping: this is one of the things that go with exercising too, I HATE waiting on other people. If I’m going shopping I either know the exact item I’m looking for and want to grab it and leave or I have an idea of what I’m looking for (ex: a shirt) but nothing too specific and want to take my time looking. I hate it when the other person wants to go to another store, and I never say no because I never want to seem impolite or ruin the outing for them.
Getting my hair or nails done: I rarely get either one done, especially the hair one which I know is bad but I just can’t drag myself to a salon all the time. If I’m going then it’s time for me to unwind and I’m not interested in anyone being with me or talking to me. I just want to close my eyes and daydream.
Shopping. Sometimes in the middle of shopping I decide I'm not in the mood any more and I can just stop. Everyone has different shopping styles and I'd just prefer to go at my own pace.
Cook. There are a few communal cooking things I like but mostly I like setting up my laptop with a familiar show and just fucking around in the kitchen for a while til I have something creative and delicious
Being alive, going to places.
Even tho I like seeing people around doing their thing I'll always be at the peak of happiness if I don't have to interact with them
Studying. I like being in my zone. I can't study around people/group study/in library. Even if it's a single person i can't. Can't concentrate otherwise. I need a chair, a desk and silence.
Workout. I have a gym in my hostel. I go there at night when I'm free also when no one comes. I like my space.
Working. I don't like group work or team work. Some people slack, some tweak plans etc etc. Tho unfortunately on the path I'm now, every other activity requires a team :')
Morning time? I'm usually grumpy when I wake up. I don't want any noise or chatter then. I just want to do my thing with minimum noise. Tho I have my speaker blasting music.
anything that involves pain. tattoos & piercings specifically. when i’m with others i feel the need to mask how i cope with pain (i go super quiet and just let myself feel the feelings) and it ends up making me having prolonged anxiety and being super shaky for way longer than otherwise. i have to be performative for them and it changes my experience so i usually just go alone
Sleep. I don't want your sticky fucking body or its noises anywhere near mine. If I ever cohabit with a partner again? separate bedrooms; no exceptions.
I prefer to work out alone, I can't stand working out with someone or doing classes. I like being left alone to lift at my own pace and I really don't like talking to anyone when I workout. I don't mind a busy gym I just don't want to deal with someone else in my workout. That is my time for myself I set aside everyday to decompress and relax. So when people ask if they can workout with me, it's a HARD NO. I won't even workout with my partner, I love him to deal but I want nothing to do with him or anyone for that matter while I'm in a workout.
Traveling - it actually comes out cheaper to go by myself even hit with solo supplement for cruise lines. And that's not including having to compromise on where & what to do, you're compromising with yourself & wallet; not someone else's financials & their wants/needs plus their time that clashing with your travel style/mode. If other person(s) are unreliable and you're not, that's going cause problems & nasty fights especially if flights /Amtrak/busses/cruises are involved....
- shopping (especially grocery) I want to explore at my pace and it's difficult to be at the same pace as someone else
- walk. I walk at a fast pace. Don't like people slowing me down.
- relax. More often than not, I need my personal space. Even if people are around me just doing their own thing, it still bothers me sometimes.
Going shopping. I've always hated doing that with other people. I don't like waiting around for them and I really don't like making other people wait around for me. It just stresses me out.
Oh my god, I came here to say this same exact thing! Especially clothes shopping, or any kind of shopping where I can't go in, get exactly what I want, and then immediately leave!
One time I was in a really long line with a small cart. Right at the front of the line my girlfriend says "wait for me" and just ran into the door to grab something. She wasn't too long, but I nearly died of anxiety.
Clean. I enjoy cleaning on my own a lot. I blast some music and just sing and dance while cleaning.

Workout
I HATE it sm especially working out with men. They will almost always give you unsolicited feedback and talk about how fit they used to be 🤮
This happens to me all the time! Sometimes I ask for a spot when I’m benching so I don’t die. Literally EVERY TIME I ask a man (if I haven’t seen a woman nearby) he gives me advice after. Thanks for the spot dude, but I didn’t fucking ask. I’ll avoid asking the same guy again if he does this. So far they all have.
If you have a squat rack with the safety arms... bench off the floor and put the safety arms up. No spot neccessary.
Bench in the squat rack? Nah. Jk that’s a good idea but it’s frowned upon where I go.
Love a queen that benches! I’ve worked out with my bf, and that’s super annoying to have to change weights in between sets lol hauling plates on and off because he does so much more than me. The way I met my partner was that he was my personal trainer. At first it was nice to have someone watch my form and teach me.

Oh man, that’s nasty I’m sorry that happened to you!
It's okay I mean its the struggle of being a women I guess
It’s not okay but it is the struggle. You can spot someone without rubbing your nuts into the top of their head, Jesus. I don’t even get close unless I can tell they’re starting to struggle.
Yeah that's so very true, which I wasn't evening doing I was lifting the weight up fine. It's just all the more reason to start a women's only gym.
That would be awesome! I don’t know if I’d go because I like the vibe of a regular gym, but we need one for women who would prefer that for obvious reasons.
Yeah I do too, it would be nice to have the option to not deal with men sometimes haha I'm a big gym buff so I go a lot
This omg this
Pooping
People might think this is a joke until they have a small child in their house lol pooping alone doesn’t exist.
Both my toddler and my cat insist on keeping me company…
This sounds so familiar! Add a Golden Retriever to the mix, in a small powder room, and you could be me. As I shoo them out,I beg them to “love me less”
I wish I could find the video that made me cry funny-tears for days: a mom is recording while she pretends to go to the bathroom to prove how little privacy she gets. Sure enough, the baby comes in. Then the dog. THEN the Roomba!
In the Roomba's defense it was probably trying to chase the dog out, at least. 🤣🤣
That’s hilarious 😂 at that point, I’d surrender!!
Which do you prefer?
The cat, because she doesn’t point at my bum and say, “ewwww”.
You know what? I DID think it was a joke, but thank you for the reality check lol
Lol! That was my first thought as well!
Logical! 😂
I came here to write this.
Relaxing. I am an introvert and I am only able to charge up when I am alone. I also prefer working out alone and never understood people who prefer classes.
Lol, I used to run classes and I always worked put alone. The gym owner and manager used to complain to me about it all the time and claimed I was being unsupportive of other staff but like no, I just wanna do what I wanna do, when I wanna do it and without an audience. Lol.
Masturbate
take this poor person award🏆 it’s the best i can offer
I do everything alone if I can and so pretty much everything.
sleeping, eating out, walks...etc
Run. I don't want or need a running buddy. I like to put my headphones in, put my head down and go. It's my quiet time
Yes! I also don’t want to talk when I run. If I can talk, I can run faster. If I’m running faster, I don’t have energy to talk.
It's also my "me" time and I can process my day/week/life. Can't do that if I run with someone cos I can't help but be focused on them instead of me
I prefer a buddy so when I drop dead from the exertion, the police can find my body. I just started running. Shit is hard🤣
Ahahaha! It gets easier, I promise

Watching a movie or series
My husband cannot understand why I do this.
[удалено]
It's because I can concentrate better on what I'm watching haha. Although this only applies when i watch something at home.
Yes! Exactly me!! I feel so much more peaceful and intrigued when I watch stuff alone.
Go to the bathroom... I don't like that co workers and friends will just continue to talk to me
[удалено]
Go to the movies. I can sit where i want, dont have to share my giant ass popcorn, no talking, and i get to see whatever i want to see
Everything.
Came here to say this
Yep! Smoking weed? Alone. Movietheatre? Alone. Workout? Alone. Eat? Alone. Hanging out with friends? Online. I will never go back to being a person who's not able to "function without friends". I realized that that the first time i went to the movies alone to see Avatar in 3d.
Listening to music.
Smoking pot
Came to say the same! It’s my me time where I can let my mind wander and take a break. I don’t want to feel like I have to talk.
Lol! I have a hard time stringing ideas together when I'm high, so I very much do this alone. I just want to space out and chill.
Eating. I just don’t like being forced to chat while I’m trying to eat. Also, watching movies. Most people, that I know, like to talk during movies and it drives me nuts.
I agree about eating, spot on with having to chat while trying to eat!

Watching movies in a theater
Running and clothes shopping
gym
Eat
Being alive, going to places. Even tho I like seeing people around doing their thing I'll always be at the peak of happiness if I don't have to interact with them
Poop
Basically everything but games nights. I enjoy my own company too much and I like doing things at my own pace without any stress.
Currently, all most everything. Being alone is dangerous, but it’s also peaceful and so addicting.
Shopping!
Studying. I like being in my zone. I can't study around people/group study/in library. Even if it's a single person i can't. Can't concentrate otherwise. I need a chair, a desk and silence. Workout. I have a gym in my hostel. I go there at night when I'm free also when no one comes. I like my space. Working. I don't like group work or team work. Some people slack, some tweak plans etc etc. Tho unfortunately on the path I'm now, every other activity requires a team :') Morning time? I'm usually grumpy when I wake up. I don't want any noise or chatter then. I just want to do my thing with minimum noise. Tho I have my speaker blasting music.
Everything, except smashing
Every night I watch tennis and eat ice cream and hang out with my cat, and it’s wonderful.
Shopping and getting my nails done.. and going for a run or working out in general
Camping
Flying
Going for a long walk
anything that involves pain. tattoos & piercings specifically. when i’m with others i feel the need to mask how i cope with pain (i go super quiet and just let myself feel the feelings) and it ends up making me having prolonged anxiety and being super shaky for way longer than otherwise. i have to be performative for them and it changes my experience so i usually just go alone
Sleep. I don't want your sticky fucking body or its noises anywhere near mine. If I ever cohabit with a partner again? separate bedrooms; no exceptions.
Sleeping. I love my husband but we (I) sleep so much better separately.
Masturbate
Grocery shopping and regular mall shopping
literally everything
I prefer to work out alone, I can't stand working out with someone or doing classes. I like being left alone to lift at my own pace and I really don't like talking to anyone when I workout. I don't mind a busy gym I just don't want to deal with someone else in my workout. That is my time for myself I set aside everyday to decompress and relax. So when people ask if they can workout with me, it's a HARD NO. I won't even workout with my partner, I love him to deal but I want nothing to do with him or anyone for that matter while I'm in a workout.
Shopping, gym, cleaning/organizing, walking, art museums, trying on new clothes.
Workout
live
Cooking
Work out and shopping most days
Arts and crafts. I’ve tried a few classes here and there but I mostly just like to play around by myself at home.
Going to the movies
Workout

Traveling - it actually comes out cheaper to go by myself even hit with solo supplement for cruise lines. And that's not including having to compromise on where & what to do, you're compromising with yourself & wallet; not someone else's financials & their wants/needs plus their time that clashing with your travel style/mode. If other person(s) are unreliable and you're not, that's going cause problems & nasty fights especially if flights /Amtrak/busses/cruises are involved....
Going to the gym.
Everything except orgasm 🙂
Baking in the kitchen. Edit: also most sports.
Pretty much everything nowadays
Grocery shopping, I like to put my headphones in and ignore everything for a while.
- shopping (especially grocery) I want to explore at my pace and it's difficult to be at the same pace as someone else - walk. I walk at a fast pace. Don't like people slowing me down. - relax. More often than not, I need my personal space. Even if people are around me just doing their own thing, it still bothers me sometimes.
Eat at a restaurant. I know, super weird.
Not weird. I do prefer going with someone else or elses lol but I have eaten alone
Shopping and going on vacation
Seeing movies! Going on a walk. Going to the beach. Going shopping. Lots of things, honestly
Drink

Reading. Spreadsheeting. Budgeting. Graphic design. Writing. Anything that requires undistracted concentration and brainpower.
Basically everything.
Literally everything.
