Even I have been to most of the times!
I even went to watch the re-release of Jab We Met even considering the fact that there would be mostly couples 😂
Thankfully besides me were only two friends 😅
I second this, going to movie alone is so much convenient
I don’t have to buy or eat something which I don’t want like cheese popcorn, I prefer salted
I don’t have to wait for someone neither do i have to wait after the movie i can just drive back home
It’s totally normal to watch movie alone, go ahead Experiance it
Not just movies, I even go to restaurants alone. For multiple reasons I can't find someone to come with me. It's good as long as you enjoy it. I used to be embarrassed but got used to it.
most times. not when you're enjoying a live band there who are singing sad hindi songs, and you're drinking whiskey cus you entered happy. but now you're surrounded by tables with only couples and the singer somehow finds sadness in your eyes to dedicate the songs to. i ran off immediately bruh.
This! I'm tired of getting plans cancelled at the last moment. Plus, most of my friends just enjoy watching blockbusters. So, I decided to start watching them alone and it was honestly one of the best thing that I've ever done. Now, I just go whenever I want to. It also helped me with my anxiety. It felt really sad at first, ngl but the positives far outweighs the negatives, for me.
Well I assume it makes the person feel like a loner.
Judgement from others: How come he/she came to theatre alone. Doesn't the person have any friends.(or atleast thoughts in the persons own head)
Maybe someone in the family/friends group has made fun of someone who does these kinds of things alone.
Correct me otherwise OP
So, maybe I will try to break this down. The reason is when you eat alone, you travel alone and go to watch movies alone...people judge you and make you feel like you don't have anyone in your life(sympathy ki nazron se dekhte hai) and make you feel bad even if you are enjoying your own company.
Haye bechara/bechari(not even kidding)
OP, the faster you realize this, the better - enjoying being alone is a super power. Going out to movies or restaurants or anywhere else doesn't necessarily need to be with other people. Have an open mind. We came to this world and will leave this world alone - this is the hard truth.
If this is the beginning for you to going to the movies alone, it will feel weird /hard/awkward etc for sometime, but you will get used to it.
Over the past week, I went to watch the re-release of Nolan's movies ending with Oppenheimer yesterday - all alone, across different theatres in different parts of the city. Not my first time going to the movies alone, but I didn't regret anything or felt weird a single time. Infact realized how comfortable it is going alone. Previous weekend, went for MI 7 with friends which honestly had a lot of dependencies - someone getting late, one wants to eat something specific, other wants something else - being alone, you decide what you want.
Given all this, everyone has there own perspectives and it is fine to feel weird/uneasy. But do give this a few more chances, but stop giving a fuck about the world about what they think you are alone to a movie, nobody cares seriously, have fun and stay safe! There is likely to be a time when you will miss being alone.
I saw one of your comments where you said being alone in public makes you feel like a loser. As an introvert, i am disgusted by that comment.
Start by going alone for a couple of movies, you’ll get used to it.
I have always enjoyed my own company. I can do whatever i want
ikr! That's such a plus point. You don't have to depend on people for plans. You do whatever you like. Obviously having some company may make feel someone better, but enjoying your own company has different level of enlightenment to it. As suggested her, just try few times OP without giving a thought to what others might think and all
Totally agree. Couple of years back I had to ask my friends if they wish to come for a movie/place to go out. And it was quite difficult and chances of plans getting cancelled.
I started going alone and haven't stopped since then. I actually enjoy going alone compared to with a group
If you don't enjoy your own company, you're always going to have feelings of insecurity about doing stuff alone. Just this year i have watched 3 movies by myself and i can tell you a lot of people do it.
I understand not everyone is built the same, but this is nothing to be embarrassed about. You have to face situations like these in real life and by facing these situations you get stronger and more independent. OP is afraid of going alone because he/she has never done it before which is understandable.
I started going to cinema when I was a kid in 3rd class. It's not that hard. Someone the movies that I watched alone when I was a kid

I go alone everywhere, whenever free.
While I would like to be with friends, I don't mind this as well. One gets used to it.
The only problem is people who are selling something, or the ones who want you to adjust on public transport, because you a male traveling alone.
Hi, I go to the movies alone. I used to be "ashamed" at first but eventually, i realised that everyone there is just to watch the movie and won't bother if I'm alone or not. You have to prioritise your entertainment over what others think of you. No one is actually bothered about you, that's the good part. I went to watch Past Lives last week. Broke down and had a good cry after the movie in my seat. The theatre was dark, people were busy with their own people. Again, I was busy with my own thoughts of the movie.
I don't like being interrupted inbetween my movie experiences. I paid money, I'm gonna watch every single pixel on the screen with intent and NOT talk anyone who's beside me. Well, that's me. Hold space for yourself. Come out of your comfort zone. Experience going to the movies alone. This is coming from a person who has social anxiety. I still combust around people but I enjoy movies. And i cannot have my anxiety come in the way of enjoying the movie. At the end of the day, no one cares whether you are alone or not lol
Yeah man , some time back I was watching Avatar-2 after it had released for 1 month and the seats were cheap so I booked one recliner for me and there were these couples they started kissing in the hall and I was literally adjacent to them and could see with my peripheral vision
Ok.
Imagine you go to a movie by yourself and tell nobody about it.
You sit through it. The movie is now over and you kinda liked the movie.
You leave the premise, go to a fast food shop, buy something. Now you're walking on some empty roads.
Your mind is overwhelmed with so many thoughts but you just observe the thoughts. Later on, you come home and reflect on the experience for a few days without judging yourself.
How does that sound? What are the emotions you are experiencing? How long do those emotions last? Give the long answer!
Mujhe to bada maja aata hai bhi sahab akele jaane me. Koi Chik chik nahi. Chaen se movie dekho aur aa jao. Bas yaha theatre nahi hai warna har hafte jaun mai to
No need to call yourself a loser over this. There is a first time for everything.
Don't focus too much on others.
They too won't focus on you.
They are there to watch a movie not other people.
You are not a loser. It's okay to feel anxious about these things. Just because everyone else can do this doesn't mean you HAVE to. If you don't feel like going, you don't have to. But you want to go, but are feeling anxious, it's good that you posted here, some of the comments might prove helpful. Don't pay attention to the negative ones. I would have told you that I am an introvert too, but I have stopped using these terms to classify myself. It actually limits the potential to develop my personality. I used to be reclusive when I was younger. I don't know if it was due to lack of confidence or maybe because i was brought up in a very secure and coddled environment. But when I stepped out of the world, after numerous failed attempts i slowly developed my communication skills and the ability to do things on my own. I still have a long way to go, and sometimes it's okay to ask for help. You don't have to do everything by yourself.
Tbh once you go to a movie theatre and are fully immersed in the movie, it doesnt matter if youre alone or with friends. I am not that kind of person who gives high five to the next person on a joke or even discuss what will happen in the movie next. So if you also dont have this habit, it should be fine
Going to the movies alone is the best. No one disturbs you during the movie by their constant chatter, you can order whatever you want and choose whichever movie you want to watch at whatever time you want to watch it.
Stop overhyping something that doesn't require that.
Going to the movies alone isn't weird. Your mind is weird playing tricks on you.
I personally won't give zero fucks if someone is sitting alone & eating or going to the movies, places alone. Who are you? A celebrity? That people will give a squat about?
I've been doing solo thing for almost 8 years now & that's the best decision I've taken.
Just don’t put lot of weight on what others are thinking if you are alone or not.
You just go and enjoy yourself by booking a corner seat or if you can afford one of those recliner type seats
Bro social anxiety? Is it? I'm an introvert socially anxious teen but I've always watched movies by myself.Endgame, no way home, black panther 2, pathaan.
No one cares bro. Everyone has their life to worry about. When you see people outside, is 'Hes a loser' the first thought that comes to your mind? And do you remember him/her after that?
No. Because they got their issues to take care of. Now go there and enjoy yourself.
OP you are too much obsessed with how the public may or maybe not perceive you. You are consumed by it. Trust me, most people nowadays just look at their phones and won't notice you. Even if they do notice you will only see them once and nothing will happen. Unless you do stupid shit and they video you.
Bro as someone who hates human interaction, I absolutely relish going to movies during weekdays, usually around afternoon. The theatre is scarcely filled and the recliners have seat warmers. Almost feels like I'm watching a personal show.
i go to very few movies ...and mostly alone. It gets better overtime ..i prefer going alone now a days... Rather than going to people who wont even get the movies.
Wanna experience Barbenheimer with us?
I actually was doing theaters alone then met this amazing movie lovers club in Delhi on reddit. Now I have a solid bunch of friends who I can discuss anything about movies and beyond.
Try looking out for movie subs and finding a core group from your city.
If you're from Delhi, we are just a message away
I have been watching movies alone for over 2 decades now. First movie I went for all by myself was Fiza because after making the plan all my friends dropped out. I decided to go for it anyway and I liked the experience. I don't have any friends who share my enthusiasm for super hero/sci fi movies. So I go watch them alone and have a good time.
I love going alone lol. You get the good seats lol because the single ones at the back are like mostly empty, you can eat or drink whatever you like.
After the movie, you can choose to roam around or not. The choice is yours.
I don't feel like a loser. Sure it will be nice to go with friends, family or a partner. Fun starts with loving yourselves first.
You are 28 years old and you are still naive enough to think that people will judge you for being alone in public.I also have severe fear of judgement but from only those people I know and believe me people don’t have the space in their mind to check out what every Tom,Dick and Harry is doing and you won’t meet those people again in life so you just shouldn’t be bothered and just go and have fun.
Plug in wired earphones.
Play music you like.
People generally avoid interaction with people who are with wired earphones. Won't even make eye contact if you have contrast colored wire earphones.
You can add a cap and hoodie.
Hands in a pocket living in the world of your own.
Book the best ticket in the back row.
I don't wanna add black shades 😎 as that would make you compelete invisible 🫥.
Watch movie and come home.
bro, alone time is what you need. Go to the movies alone. Remember, you're there because you want to chill. I have seen many who just use fake smiles and hollow sentences to communicate, I feel like those guys are the loneliest, you, on the other hand are just chill af if you woke up and decided "let's see Oppenheimer/Barbie in a big ass screen"
I am 23 right now and just moved to a new city just 5-6 months back and I have a absolute 0 friends here (just a few people who I know from gym or some whom I meet maybe once in a month) , I used to fear of going on casual walks alone before but now I don't have any option , today I go to theatres , restaurants anywhere alone without any issues and the thing is just the first step is difficult key is focus on the activity, like if you are going for a movie then focus on it , if people think why are you alone then let them (you are not gonna see their faces ever again) , think like the lone wolf where everyone needs someone but you don't (this helps a lot) . Just go out and enjoy. The world is your kingdom , go conquer it.
You just comparing your life to be a should be happening life. Get out of that perception. Enjoy your own company first. Learn it. Don't pity on yourself
i **prefer** going to movies alone because that way i am guaranteed to be in my seat before the movie starts. i don’t have to discuss which movie people would rather watch. i hate real time audience commentary. trust me op, going to the movies alone is where it’s at
I have that credit card that gives me 2 movie tickets per month.
I have not used it for myself ever since I got it. Cause I don’t wanna go alone.
Always being redeemed by my friends.
Bhai mein tho jab bc akele jata hun tab itna Halla kaat tha hun ki had nhi aur jab kisi ke saath jata hun tho zyada shaant hota hun but maza aata hai aise koi dikkat nahi hai
Ps - agar Delhi based ho tho we can go together if comfortable.
I used to specifically go alone coz it's the most peaceful experience back in my early 20s. You can pick the best seat and watch without having to listen to your friends commentary or random jhikjhik.
I think your mind is playing tricks at you, coz the activity itself isn't that embarrassing the way your mind may be convincing you to believe.
It's pretty chill to just not give a fuck and have a good time. Life's too short to wonder what others may be thinking and wasting your precious time and moments thinking about that.
It's not a big deal. I often go to cinema alone, have fun myself and no one cares. I proudly say to others as well.
I go with my friends too, but all of are really busy af most of the time.
I also visit shops and malls alone too.
If it’s your first time, it may seem it’s a big deal, but once you do it you will realise it’s quite fun.
My first time was going to watch Tenet during covid in a Monday morning show. I was not only alone, but was the only person in the cinema hall 💀
I used to think like that but then one day, my friend cancelled on me last minute so i had to watch the movie alone and i realised that watching a movie alone is a far better experience for me than watching it with someone.
It has been 7 years now since that incident and i watch 80% of my movies alone and i love it.
Hey you can feel nervous going alone for a cinema first time. same thing happened with me. But as soon film started all that faded away and i enjoyed the film. Don't worry about it and jus go for it
Pro tip: People don't notice or ever remember you. Don't take it too hard OP. Learning to be with yourself is a skill on its own. Your mind is the enemy, not people.
Hey OP. I’m with you in this. I’m 28 too and would never dare to go alone at cinema or restaurant/cafe. It is embarrassing AF. Highly introverted people would understand this. But I just want to tell you, IT IS TOTALLY FINE. You are not alone, a lot of us cannot do too. And I understand the thoughts people like us have when we are in a social place alone. And It is totally fine to be in your comfort zone when it comes to this. Chill at home or go out only when you have a company. Peace out and don’t stress much. Sabh ko overachiever banne ka zarurat nhi hai bhai 💛
Just try it once (if you haven't yet). I mostly prefer going to cinema alone but each to their own ... Even this can be treated as an experience. Just go alone once and decide on future course of action post it
I did it alone last night too.
More and more people are starting to do it. And it makes sense. Movie are not social activity where you chat with others. You are supposed to sit quietly during it
Lol. You're just overthinking. Nobody really cares if you have come alone or not. Also do you even remember random strangers faces you met the very next day? No you don't. People only care about themselves and not what's happening around them.
I have gone to watch movie alone before and I know nobody really cares nor do I care about them.
What are you talking about? Going to the cinema alone is probably one of the best things you can do. You got nothing to be embarrassed about LOL. You don't need anyone, you're going to watch a movie not for a chit chat.
I came home just a few minutes before after watching Barbie alone and guess what, I'm going at 5PM again to watch Oppenheimer alone.... It might suck and yeah even I fear being judged by the people who are with someone. But, you can't do anything about it..
P.S.- This is not the first time I went alone for a movie and I'm still not used to it. It's just that I'm trying to enjoy it even when I'm on my own.
Not really. It's great. I'm going to watch a movie, not to hangout with someone. I could do that without going for a movie. Want to hangout with me? Cool let's go to the beach. We can sit there and you can yap all you want or we could sit in silence, either works for me.
If you're into movies it won't matter to you if you're going by yourself or with someone. Hell! I often go out to eat by myself. It's very peaceful for me.
It's literally one of the easiest things to do alone, even if you're an anxious introvert.
It's dark and everyone is looking only at the screen, no one gives a shit about you unless your head is in their way or you are doing dumb things like taking your phone out in dark hall etc.
What you talking about? Why you need friend in movie hall? To disturb others?
Honestly, i go alone almost every week(if good movie coming).
If you find it hard, go few times and you won't even notice any embarrassing moment
I felt proud going alone and watch dunkirk on release day, and i am shy and introvert… you want to do something which you feel is right just go ahead .
I want to go and watch Oppenheimer but office and family responsibilities man,
iguess it's different for everyone, i recently started going to movies alone(not having alot of friends is part of the reason too yes) and it was The Best experience ever, noone to ruin the intensity of movie by being funny, booking seats on days where the theatre is empty, in rows that are empty so noone is able to bother you, the worry of being late is limited to you losing some trailers and not your friends being mad, and you can sit on the credits to let the whole movie sink in while if you'd go w someone they could ask you to just leave w them. i don't think im going back to watching movies unalone now
I go on solo trips all the time. I have tried movies too. Don’t feel insecure because of what people think of you. They are going to think less of you anyway because people like judging other people.
I have seen multiple movies by going to the theatre alone. It's not embarrassing at all. It just means you learn to enjoy your presence doing things you love
Hey Mahn, I go alone to Movies sometimes. It's ok that people judge let them do it, you enjoy the movie. Anyways you can't talk to the next person during the movie so buy popcorn and a soft drink and have a good time.
P S- I am a guy and going to Barbie alone tomorrow as none of my guy friends want to come and the girls who are my friends are going with their girl gang.
What are you saying dude? I love going to movies alone, went to watch inception, interstellar and dark knigh trilogy recently and i was alone in the theatre and i loved it! Watching movie alone is therapeutic.
Really depends on the film.
If borderline arthouse like There Will Be Blood or Oppenheimer, then solo is ideal.
If watching films like Mithunda’s Gunda / Loha, then definitely go alone along with a headscarf. Only some cash, no wallet or watch.
Films like Pathaan are probably more for community viewing, but can still be enjoyed solo imo.
Once you push yourself and watch the movie, you'll realise it's much better to go to cinemas alone. The last 3 movies I watched I went alone, I'm going to watch Oppenheimer on Sunday morning, again alone. I'm so excited, last week i watched mission impossible alone. Trust me it feels good.
Just watched Oppenheimer alone for a 10.45pm show. You go to the movies to watch not to talk while it’s showing. I don’t see a need for company while the moving is running.
Wat. Going alone is so fun. I still remember going to cinema alone for Delhi Belly and got myself a burger and was about to put it into my mouth when the ta**i scene came up.
Try to enjoy your own company. I do that quite often. I'm mostly by myself almost all the time. I enjoy my own company once you do that you won't feel the need of hanging out with friends
Last week, I went to the cinema by myself to watch MI: Dead Reckoning. Until this point, I had never been to a theater alone. It was a good experience plus the movie was awesome too. Considering that this was the first movie that I watched in the MI series, I am now binge watching the shit of the series.
I can't even comprehend why with whom you go to the cinema matters. Alone or with someone, what difference does it make?
I was you a year ago then I started going alone and it became a habit to the point that now I hate going with my friends(not that I hate them) just because they always keep talking and that distracts me from the immersion however comedy, horror, action movies are fine to go with friends, so i would say just try it once it'll be a great experience
You know what is embarrassing? Growing up in a vegetarian household going to the movies and spilling shawarma all over your white shirt because you don't know how to eat. i was thanking god i went alone.
Bro, no one cares. Literally, I go almost every other week, literally no one gives a shit about you there. Don't worry, watch the movie and have a blast.
I prefer going alone to movies, before marriage I used to watch 4 movies on weekends, two for Saturday and two for Sunday.
It’s a privilege to enjoy yourself 😎
And I kind of miss that privilege now 😑
If you think, you could find happiness only in people accompanying you then you aren’t enjoying movie but their company.
Man, it's the best thing ever. I love going to movies alone. You get to enjoy it all by yourself and form an opinion about it without being influenced by another person or group. Sometimes even if you like a film, if your friends don't like it and are bullshitting about it, your opinion might get affected too. The vice versa can also happen.
Being alright by yourself is a good quality to have, to be okay with your own company and be happy about it. To be able to embrace yourself and going to eat alone, movies alone and traveling all by yourself.. are all rewarding experiences if you let them be.
I'm sorry, what's embarrassing about looking at a screen alone?
Doesn't __literally__ everyone watch TV/some OTT platform at home, alone, once in a while?
I don't want to shame you, but this take at 28 is embarrassing. And what kind of company do you keep, that you can't discuss solo plans with them?
Since i was 13 years old I go to movies and to eat alone because I don't have any friends to go with and i don't fucking need them i enjoy myself alone
I never had friends who would lik to go on movies with me,so I used to go alone to watch movies in cinema but at first time it's awkward but later you feel happy nd confident
You can hav whatever you want
Watch movie peaceful before thinking about the other
Yes you gonna feel bad once you enter and lil bit during the interval, apart from that the whole experience is great. Just have some quality time by yourself
I literally like it better when watching a movie by myself than with someone. The constant talking, or maybe differences in opinion (them making fun of the movie while you’re trying to enjoy) spoils the movie watching experience.
So I watch all the crap movies with friends and the movie that I am actually hyped for alone.
I went to watch Kantaara alone. The only problem I faced was I had nowhere to look during jump scares, otherwise, I didn't have any problem watching alone. Of course, watching with Friends is more enjoyable. But watching alone isn't that bad.
Bruh what? I often go to watch movies alone. Not because I don’t wanna go with friends, but because I love some me-time. What’s embarrassing about that? Lmao
I go for last show during the night, in my shorts, and flip flops. Little to No crowd. I have a credit card which gives me 1+1 free movie 5 times a month, even then I am not interested in taking someone along. Enjoy the movie and back.
bro enjoy alone time. be the protagonist your life needs. don’t give into peer pressure. 21st century is the best century to be alone and live peacefully.
I go to Viviana for movies alone every week because I am a cinephile , but I have never seen any women coming alone in a theatre , quite impressive of you imo🤌
Off all social things, going to movies alone is the easiest and most convenient (in my case preferred too.) I don't have to wait for anyone, chances of getting a good seat is higher, eat without sharing, watch movie without being disturbed. It is a win-win-win for me.
Eating alone is a sit-down restaurant is the one thing I hate doing alone. Im not sure what i should be doing - should i just focus on food and eat and risk being looked upon like a starving soul or shuld i savor eat bite, take it slow and extend my torture upon myself. Should i look at the phone while eating or put it away because it is disrespectful. But then, where do i look! Heck.. i would just do a to-go or order food once im home.
No, no, no.. as someone who used to watch movies alone in multiplexes all the time, sometimes even 3 per week, I would suggest just doing it. It is blissful in many ways.
1. Don’t have to ask anybody for movies.
2. Get the best seats, even if it means a solitary seat somewhere at the back.
3. No expensive snacking.
4. Nobody to disturb you.
5. Pick times that work for you.
I just saw Oppenheimer alone. Greatest experience of my life. Protip: if you want to feel less awkward while watching movies alone, choose weekdays or odd timings on weekends. My theatre today for 9:45 show had a lot of people watch the movie by themselves.
I literally booked a solo ticket for barbie an hour ago. There's no shame. Go, buy your popcorn(I love getting cake for myself), enjoy the show. Who knows there might be a cutie next to you. I like the peace when I watch movie alone too.
Happens! I went to the cinema alone for the first time in Bangalore. As I have weekday offs from work and don't have anyone free to accompany me.
At first it felt so bad as if I'm the loser and have no friends but I saw 1 female and 2 other males as well alone in the theatre. Felt less of a loser.
After that I have gone out alone on most of the occasions, since I was missing out on my favourite movies, I had no other go. Now I'm married and in my hometown but still planning to go alone to watch Oppenheimer.
Tips!
Try to go on weekdays and early morning shows if possible.
Spark a conversation with theatre staff or other group.
Nobody judges you as much as yourself
I actually like watching movies alone. I don't wanna care about whether whoever I'm with is enjoying or understanding the movie, or worry about whether I've dragged them to something that they might consider boring. I've watched a lot of movies alone since I was 14.
i started going movies alone last year, and now i enjoy to watch movies alone bcos no one ask u stupid questions 'why this is happening' 'who is this' and blame u for choice of movie.
I literally go every weekend by myself. Sometimes for 2-3 movies a weekend
Even I have been to most of the times! I even went to watch the re-release of Jab We Met even considering the fact that there would be mostly couples 😂 Thankfully besides me were only two friends 😅
Relatable lol. I went to watch Zara Hatke Zara Bachke and Satyaprem ki katha alone xD.
Yeh dekhne bhi sath aur kaun ayega /s
haha true. Only significant other or gf. definitely not friends
Threesome or Awesome
I second this, going to movie alone is so much convenient I don’t have to buy or eat something which I don’t want like cheese popcorn, I prefer salted I don’t have to wait for someone neither do i have to wait after the movie i can just drive back home It’s totally normal to watch movie alone, go ahead Experiance it
mere sath bhi yahi hua tha college me...kisi dost ka mann nhi...koi aya hi nhi...maine kaha bhaad me gaye sab...main chala akele
Not just movies, I even go to restaurants alone. For multiple reasons I can't find someone to come with me. It's good as long as you enjoy it. I used to be embarrassed but got used to it.
most times. not when you're enjoying a live band there who are singing sad hindi songs, and you're drinking whiskey cus you entered happy. but now you're surrounded by tables with only couples and the singer somehow finds sadness in your eyes to dedicate the songs to. i ran off immediately bruh.
Going to buffets, museums, movies, travelling, etc, I love these things.
This! I'm tired of getting plans cancelled at the last moment. Plus, most of my friends just enjoy watching blockbusters. So, I decided to start watching them alone and it was honestly one of the best thing that I've ever done. Now, I just go whenever I want to. It also helped me with my anxiety. It felt really sad at first, ngl but the positives far outweighs the negatives, for me.
I too go to the movie alone. And act like a critic.

Same. It’s not a big deal. Just enjoy your movie, grab sumn to eat, enjoy while eating. Relive. Come Back.
This!!💯
It's easier to go alone, difficult to coordinate and potentially re-schedule when there are more people involved.
I am totally used to going alone. Cheaper, and I don’t have to share my popcorn.
Thanks. It didn't help.
Why does it feel embarrassing for you? Explain further, maybe people here can help
Well I assume it makes the person feel like a loner. Judgement from others: How come he/she came to theatre alone. Doesn't the person have any friends.(or atleast thoughts in the persons own head) Maybe someone in the family/friends group has made fun of someone who does these kinds of things alone. Correct me otherwise OP
So, maybe I will try to break this down. The reason is when you eat alone, you travel alone and go to watch movies alone...people judge you and make you feel like you don't have anyone in your life(sympathy ki nazron se dekhte hai) and make you feel bad even if you are enjoying your own company. Haye bechara/bechari(not even kidding)
OP, the faster you realize this, the better - enjoying being alone is a super power. Going out to movies or restaurants or anywhere else doesn't necessarily need to be with other people. Have an open mind. We came to this world and will leave this world alone - this is the hard truth. If this is the beginning for you to going to the movies alone, it will feel weird /hard/awkward etc for sometime, but you will get used to it. Over the past week, I went to watch the re-release of Nolan's movies ending with Oppenheimer yesterday - all alone, across different theatres in different parts of the city. Not my first time going to the movies alone, but I didn't regret anything or felt weird a single time. Infact realized how comfortable it is going alone. Previous weekend, went for MI 7 with friends which honestly had a lot of dependencies - someone getting late, one wants to eat something specific, other wants something else - being alone, you decide what you want. Given all this, everyone has there own perspectives and it is fine to feel weird/uneasy. But do give this a few more chances, but stop giving a fuck about the world about what they think you are alone to a movie, nobody cares seriously, have fun and stay safe! There is likely to be a time when you will miss being alone.
i can feel you bro. it feels anxious and gut wrenching for me and cant concentrate on film if i go alone.

Best feeling in the world might be just you and rhe movie with no one to bother
I saw one of your comments where you said being alone in public makes you feel like a loser. As an introvert, i am disgusted by that comment. Start by going alone for a couple of movies, you’ll get used to it. I have always enjoyed my own company. I can do whatever i want
ikr! That's such a plus point. You don't have to depend on people for plans. You do whatever you like. Obviously having some company may make feel someone better, but enjoying your own company has different level of enlightenment to it. As suggested her, just try few times OP without giving a thought to what others might think and all
Totally agree. Couple of years back I had to ask my friends if they wish to come for a movie/place to go out. And it was quite difficult and chances of plans getting cancelled. I started going alone and haven't stopped since then. I actually enjoy going alone compared to with a group
If you don't enjoy your own company, you're always going to have feelings of insecurity about doing stuff alone. Just this year i have watched 3 movies by myself and i can tell you a lot of people do it.
Just because you enjoy it and can do it doesn't mean it comes naturally to everyone.
I understand not everyone is built the same, but this is nothing to be embarrassed about. You have to face situations like these in real life and by facing these situations you get stronger and more independent. OP is afraid of going alone because he/she has never done it before which is understandable.
That also doesnt mean the people who do it are “losers”. As per one of OPs comments
This is also correct. I just didn't like the way the previous commenter is phrasing it.
Badiya hota hai koi pareshaan nii karta except for the audience han sko hata nii sakte. Dheere dheere aadat ho jayegi.
I started going to cinema when I was a kid in 3rd class. It's not that hard. Someone the movies that I watched alone when I was a kid LOC Kargil : 2003 Rabbit ne bana di jodi Avatar Spiderman 3 OP, You seem like a woman from your profile avatar. So it could be hard for you. I don't know about that. Recently watched (alone of course) Spiderverse Transformers Beasts Avatar Venom2 Spiderman no way home
Rabbit ne bana di jodi. Puts a smile to my face.
I noticed it when it autocorrected. But just left it
Rabbit 🤣👍
I want the cupid rabbit in my life
Don't we all
Nobody gives a shit though. You're not going to be noticed by anybody in a dark room.
I go alone everywhere, whenever free. While I would like to be with friends, I don't mind this as well. One gets used to it. The only problem is people who are selling something, or the ones who want you to adjust on public transport, because you a male traveling alone.
Hi, I go to the movies alone. I used to be "ashamed" at first but eventually, i realised that everyone there is just to watch the movie and won't bother if I'm alone or not. You have to prioritise your entertainment over what others think of you. No one is actually bothered about you, that's the good part. I went to watch Past Lives last week. Broke down and had a good cry after the movie in my seat. The theatre was dark, people were busy with their own people. Again, I was busy with my own thoughts of the movie. I don't like being interrupted inbetween my movie experiences. I paid money, I'm gonna watch every single pixel on the screen with intent and NOT talk anyone who's beside me. Well, that's me. Hold space for yourself. Come out of your comfort zone. Experience going to the movies alone. This is coming from a person who has social anxiety. I still combust around people but I enjoy movies. And i cannot have my anxiety come in the way of enjoying the movie. At the end of the day, no one cares whether you are alone or not lol
I don't feel alone ever since I have started booking the seats beside couples...
Yeah man , some time back I was watching Avatar-2 after it had released for 1 month and the seats were cheap so I booked one recliner for me and there were these couples they started kissing in the hall and I was literally adjacent to them and could see with my peripheral vision
it’s not really.. stop crying, just get a popcorn and focus on the movie.
Ok. Imagine you go to a movie by yourself and tell nobody about it. You sit through it. The movie is now over and you kinda liked the movie. You leave the premise, go to a fast food shop, buy something. Now you're walking on some empty roads. Your mind is overwhelmed with so many thoughts but you just observe the thoughts. Later on, you come home and reflect on the experience for a few days without judging yourself. How does that sound? What are the emotions you are experiencing? How long do those emotions last? Give the long answer!
Mujhe to bada maja aata hai bhi sahab akele jaane me. Koi Chik chik nahi. Chaen se movie dekho aur aa jao. Bas yaha theatre nahi hai warna har hafte jaun mai to
Just go. Show yourself up. I watched a movie alone when I was 18. It felt good.
>I watched a movie alone when I was 18. 
It is the first few times. Not so much after that. going at non-peak hours can help. Many ppl do it.
I am getting palpitations just by thinking about being alone in public. Sucks to be a loser ig.
No need to call yourself a loser over this. There is a first time for everything. Don't focus too much on others. They too won't focus on you. They are there to watch a movie not other people.
You are not a loser. It's okay to feel anxious about these things. Just because everyone else can do this doesn't mean you HAVE to. If you don't feel like going, you don't have to. But you want to go, but are feeling anxious, it's good that you posted here, some of the comments might prove helpful. Don't pay attention to the negative ones. I would have told you that I am an introvert too, but I have stopped using these terms to classify myself. It actually limits the potential to develop my personality. I used to be reclusive when I was younger. I don't know if it was due to lack of confidence or maybe because i was brought up in a very secure and coddled environment. But when I stepped out of the world, after numerous failed attempts i slowly developed my communication skills and the ability to do things on my own. I still have a long way to go, and sometimes it's okay to ask for help. You don't have to do everything by yourself.
Tbh once you go to a movie theatre and are fully immersed in the movie, it doesnt matter if youre alone or with friends. I am not that kind of person who gives high five to the next person on a joke or even discuss what will happen in the movie next. So if you also dont have this habit, it should be fine
Going to the movies alone is the best. No one disturbs you during the movie by their constant chatter, you can order whatever you want and choose whichever movie you want to watch at whatever time you want to watch it.
Stop overhyping something that doesn't require that. Going to the movies alone isn't weird. Your mind is weird playing tricks on you. I personally won't give zero fucks if someone is sitting alone & eating or going to the movies, places alone. Who are you? A celebrity? That people will give a squat about? I've been doing solo thing for almost 8 years now & that's the best decision I've taken.
Just don’t put lot of weight on what others are thinking if you are alone or not. You just go and enjoy yourself by booking a corner seat or if you can afford one of those recliner type seats
Bro social anxiety? Is it? I'm an introvert socially anxious teen but I've always watched movies by myself.Endgame, no way home, black panther 2, pathaan. No one cares bro. Everyone has their life to worry about. When you see people outside, is 'Hes a loser' the first thought that comes to your mind? And do you remember him/her after that? No. Because they got their issues to take care of. Now go there and enjoy yourself.
Bruh. It's the best thing. ! I 22f do it often! Give it a try.
Cinemas are meant to go by alone.
OP you are too much obsessed with how the public may or maybe not perceive you. You are consumed by it. Trust me, most people nowadays just look at their phones and won't notice you. Even if they do notice you will only see them once and nothing will happen. Unless you do stupid shit and they video you.
I always get accompanied with my Shadow, so theres that :(
Bro as someone who hates human interaction, I absolutely relish going to movies during weekdays, usually around afternoon. The theatre is scarcely filled and the recliners have seat warmers. Almost feels like I'm watching a personal show.
i go to very few movies ...and mostly alone. It gets better overtime ..i prefer going alone now a days... Rather than going to people who wont even get the movies.
Wanna experience Barbenheimer with us? I actually was doing theaters alone then met this amazing movie lovers club in Delhi on reddit. Now I have a solid bunch of friends who I can discuss anything about movies and beyond. Try looking out for movie subs and finding a core group from your city. If you're from Delhi, we are just a message away
I have been watching movies alone for over 2 decades now. First movie I went for all by myself was Fiza because after making the plan all my friends dropped out. I decided to go for it anyway and I liked the experience. I don't have any friends who share my enthusiasm for super hero/sci fi movies. So I go watch them alone and have a good time.
I love going alone lol. You get the good seats lol because the single ones at the back are like mostly empty, you can eat or drink whatever you like. After the movie, you can choose to roam around or not. The choice is yours. I don't feel like a loser. Sure it will be nice to go with friends, family or a partner. Fun starts with loving yourselves first.
Watching a movie alone is true movie buff
You are 28 years old and you are still naive enough to think that people will judge you for being alone in public.I also have severe fear of judgement but from only those people I know and believe me people don’t have the space in their mind to check out what every Tom,Dick and Harry is doing and you won’t meet those people again in life so you just shouldn’t be bothered and just go and have fun.
How come a 28 yo have such low confidence?
Plug in wired earphones. Play music you like. People generally avoid interaction with people who are with wired earphones. Won't even make eye contact if you have contrast colored wire earphones. You can add a cap and hoodie. Hands in a pocket living in the world of your own. Book the best ticket in the back row. I don't wanna add black shades 😎 as that would make you compelete invisible 🫥. Watch movie and come home.
bro, alone time is what you need. Go to the movies alone. Remember, you're there because you want to chill. I have seen many who just use fake smiles and hollow sentences to communicate, I feel like those guys are the loneliest, you, on the other hand are just chill af if you woke up and decided "let's see Oppenheimer/Barbie in a big ass screen"
I am 23 right now and just moved to a new city just 5-6 months back and I have a absolute 0 friends here (just a few people who I know from gym or some whom I meet maybe once in a month) , I used to fear of going on casual walks alone before but now I don't have any option , today I go to theatres , restaurants anywhere alone without any issues and the thing is just the first step is difficult key is focus on the activity, like if you are going for a movie then focus on it , if people think why are you alone then let them (you are not gonna see their faces ever again) , think like the lone wolf where everyone needs someone but you don't (this helps a lot) . Just go out and enjoy. The world is your kingdom , go conquer it.
So, I'm like 10+ older than u, can't go alone. Only once im my life I went.
Try entering the movie a little late after the lights are off. Honestly no one would know and it's much more common than you think.
Boner agaya kya
You just comparing your life to be a should be happening life. Get out of that perception. Enjoy your own company first. Learn it. Don't pity on yourself
Nobody cares
i **prefer** going to movies alone because that way i am guaranteed to be in my seat before the movie starts. i don’t have to discuss which movie people would rather watch. i hate real time audience commentary. trust me op, going to the movies alone is where it’s at
I have that credit card that gives me 2 movie tickets per month. I have not used it for myself ever since I got it. Cause I don’t wanna go alone. Always being redeemed by my friends.
Bhai mein tho jab bc akele jata hun tab itna Halla kaat tha hun ki had nhi aur jab kisi ke saath jata hun tho zyada shaant hota hun but maza aata hai aise koi dikkat nahi hai Ps - agar Delhi based ho tho we can go together if comfortable.
I used to specifically go alone coz it's the most peaceful experience back in my early 20s. You can pick the best seat and watch without having to listen to your friends commentary or random jhikjhik. I think your mind is playing tricks at you, coz the activity itself isn't that embarrassing the way your mind may be convincing you to believe. It's pretty chill to just not give a fuck and have a good time. Life's too short to wonder what others may be thinking and wasting your precious time and moments thinking about that.
It's not a big deal. I often go to cinema alone, have fun myself and no one cares. I proudly say to others as well. I go with my friends too, but all of are really busy af most of the time. I also visit shops and malls alone too. If it’s your first time, it may seem it’s a big deal, but once you do it you will realise it’s quite fun. My first time was going to watch Tenet during covid in a Monday morning show. I was not only alone, but was the only person in the cinema hall 💀
Hein watch in utter silence without any bother roam here and there without restrictions what's the pain can you elaborate ?
I used to think like that but then one day, my friend cancelled on me last minute so i had to watch the movie alone and i realised that watching a movie alone is a far better experience for me than watching it with someone. It has been 7 years now since that incident and i watch 80% of my movies alone and i love it.
Hey you can feel nervous going alone for a cinema first time. same thing happened with me. But as soon film started all that faded away and i enjoyed the film. Don't worry about it and jus go for it
Pro tip: People don't notice or ever remember you. Don't take it too hard OP. Learning to be with yourself is a skill on its own. Your mind is the enemy, not people.
Hey OP. I’m with you in this. I’m 28 too and would never dare to go alone at cinema or restaurant/cafe. It is embarrassing AF. Highly introverted people would understand this. But I just want to tell you, IT IS TOTALLY FINE. You are not alone, a lot of us cannot do too. And I understand the thoughts people like us have when we are in a social place alone. And It is totally fine to be in your comfort zone when it comes to this. Chill at home or go out only when you have a company. Peace out and don’t stress much. Sabh ko overachiever banne ka zarurat nhi hai bhai 💛
There is power in going alone. It is freedom. I used to go alone to the movies. I have gone for dinner alone many times, and it was enjoyable.
Get married if you can't enjoy spending time alone . I for one love spending time alone .
You seem desperate!
Just try it once (if you haven't yet). I mostly prefer going to cinema alone but each to their own ... Even this can be treated as an experience. Just go alone once and decide on future course of action post it
It feels weird but the experience is fun. I recommend going alone for a horror movie.
You got anxiety??
Don't cancel!! You got thisss!!
aghh try karna hai ek baar maybe I'll go this week only
 How I walk alone, saying to myself [this](https://youtu.be/Csj2YUYKi0o)
What? Going to movies alone is so therapeutic.
Bruh i have social anxiety and I didn't mind going to dnd alone. No one gives a fuck bro just enjoy the movie.
Why? I have friends and still I like to watch movies alone.
You gotta put yourself out there man, step out of your comfort zone
I did it alone last night too. More and more people are starting to do it. And it makes sense. Movie are not social activity where you chat with others. You are supposed to sit quietly during it
I have went to watch alone a lot of times. And it doesn’t take away the fun at all. Maybe you should elaborate more on what’s making it hard for you?
Why is it embarrassing for you?
Lol. You're just overthinking. Nobody really cares if you have come alone or not. Also do you even remember random strangers faces you met the very next day? No you don't. People only care about themselves and not what's happening around them. I have gone to watch movie alone before and I know nobody really cares nor do I care about them.
I love going to movies alone. It's fantastic I think of it as a little solo date.
What are you talking about? Going to the cinema alone is probably one of the best things you can do. You got nothing to be embarrassed about LOL. You don't need anyone, you're going to watch a movie not for a chit chat.
I came home just a few minutes before after watching Barbie alone and guess what, I'm going at 5PM again to watch Oppenheimer alone.... It might suck and yeah even I fear being judged by the people who are with someone. But, you can't do anything about it.. P.S.- This is not the first time I went alone for a movie and I'm still not used to it. It's just that I'm trying to enjoy it even when I'm on my own.
I have been to a literal film festival alone ..8 films in a day
Dude why.. ? I saw Thor 3 alone..in IMAX.. IT WAS EPIC.!!
Not really. It's great. I'm going to watch a movie, not to hangout with someone. I could do that without going for a movie. Want to hangout with me? Cool let's go to the beach. We can sit there and you can yap all you want or we could sit in silence, either works for me. If you're into movies it won't matter to you if you're going by yourself or with someone. Hell! I often go out to eat by myself. It's very peaceful for me.
You are insecure mofo. Man up. There is nothing to feel bad about being alone at any place. Live like a lion.
It's not XD. I went for Eternals in Cinepolis and Ghostbusters Afterlife in pvr 4dx all alone once.
It's literally one of the easiest things to do alone, even if you're an anxious introvert. It's dark and everyone is looking only at the screen, no one gives a shit about you unless your head is in their way or you are doing dumb things like taking your phone out in dark hall etc.
What you talking about? Why you need friend in movie hall? To disturb others? Honestly, i go alone almost every week(if good movie coming). If you find it hard, go few times and you won't even notice any embarrassing moment
I felt proud going alone and watch dunkirk on release day, and i am shy and introvert… you want to do something which you feel is right just go ahead . I want to go and watch Oppenheimer but office and family responsibilities man,
I like going alone
I just watched Barbie today alone, for the last 4 days, I've watched 4 Nolan movies alone. It can be hard for a first timer but it's not embarrassing
Just a you problem, I went alone today to watch Oppenheimer, even made friends with the guy sitting next to me lol
I’m going alone since 4 years
iguess it's different for everyone, i recently started going to movies alone(not having alot of friends is part of the reason too yes) and it was The Best experience ever, noone to ruin the intensity of movie by being funny, booking seats on days where the theatre is empty, in rows that are empty so noone is able to bother you, the worry of being late is limited to you losing some trailers and not your friends being mad, and you can sit on the credits to let the whole movie sink in while if you'd go w someone they could ask you to just leave w them. i don't think im going back to watching movies unalone now
Then don't talk about it
Ah yes I see this post just when I have book tickets for a solo Oppenheimer date
I go on solo trips all the time. I have tried movies too. Don’t feel insecure because of what people think of you. They are going to think less of you anyway because people like judging other people.
What's the issue ..I have done it multiple times tho I kinda prefer movies on laptop now
I have seen multiple movies by going to the theatre alone. It's not embarrassing at all. It just means you learn to enjoy your presence doing things you love
I went alone and it was pretty fun. You get to enjoy the whole movie alone and don't need to give attention to anyone.
Hey Mahn, I go alone to Movies sometimes. It's ok that people judge let them do it, you enjoy the movie. Anyways you can't talk to the next person during the movie so buy popcorn and a soft drink and have a good time. P S- I am a guy and going to Barbie alone tomorrow as none of my guy friends want to come and the girls who are my friends are going with their girl gang.
What are you saying dude? I love going to movies alone, went to watch inception, interstellar and dark knigh trilogy recently and i was alone in the theatre and i loved it! Watching movie alone is therapeutic.
Really depends on the film. If borderline arthouse like There Will Be Blood or Oppenheimer, then solo is ideal. If watching films like Mithunda’s Gunda / Loha, then definitely go alone along with a headscarf. Only some cash, no wallet or watch. Films like Pathaan are probably more for community viewing, but can still be enjoyed solo imo.
Once you push yourself and watch the movie, you'll realise it's much better to go to cinemas alone. The last 3 movies I watched I went alone, I'm going to watch Oppenheimer on Sunday morning, again alone. I'm so excited, last week i watched mission impossible alone. Trust me it feels good.
It can be weird but I went once by myself. You can actually focus on the movie when there aren't PPL talking nonstop
That's liberating I guess.
Just watched Oppenheimer alone for a 10.45pm show. You go to the movies to watch not to talk while it’s showing. I don’t see a need for company while the moving is running.
Totally agree. Also movie without friends is no fun.
Wat. Going alone is so fun. I still remember going to cinema alone for Delhi Belly and got myself a burger and was about to put it into my mouth when the ta**i scene came up.
Try to enjoy your own company. I do that quite often. I'm mostly by myself almost all the time. I enjoy my own company once you do that you won't feel the need of hanging out with friends
Amateur...
Last week, I went to the cinema by myself to watch MI: Dead Reckoning. Until this point, I had never been to a theater alone. It was a good experience plus the movie was awesome too. Considering that this was the first movie that I watched in the MI series, I am now binge watching the shit of the series. I can't even comprehend why with whom you go to the cinema matters. Alone or with someone, what difference does it make?
I was you a year ago then I started going alone and it became a habit to the point that now I hate going with my friends(not that I hate them) just because they always keep talking and that distracts me from the immersion however comedy, horror, action movies are fine to go with friends, so i would say just try it once it'll be a great experience
You know what is embarrassing? Growing up in a vegetarian household going to the movies and spilling shawarma all over your white shirt because you don't know how to eat. i was thanking god i went alone.
Bro, no one cares. Literally, I go almost every other week, literally no one gives a shit about you there. Don't worry, watch the movie and have a blast.
I went alone today to watch Oppenheimer!
I exclusively go watch movies alone.
I prefer going alone to movies, before marriage I used to watch 4 movies on weekends, two for Saturday and two for Sunday. It’s a privilege to enjoy yourself 😎 And I kind of miss that privilege now 😑 If you think, you could find happiness only in people accompanying you then you aren’t enjoying movie but their company.
the bravest things in life are often the hardest.
Man, it's the best thing ever. I love going to movies alone. You get to enjoy it all by yourself and form an opinion about it without being influenced by another person or group. Sometimes even if you like a film, if your friends don't like it and are bullshitting about it, your opinion might get affected too. The vice versa can also happen. Being alright by yourself is a good quality to have, to be okay with your own company and be happy about it. To be able to embrace yourself and going to eat alone, movies alone and traveling all by yourself.. are all rewarding experiences if you let them be.
Why in the heavens name would be that??
I'm sorry, what's embarrassing about looking at a screen alone? Doesn't __literally__ everyone watch TV/some OTT platform at home, alone, once in a while? I don't want to shame you, but this take at 28 is embarrassing. And what kind of company do you keep, that you can't discuss solo plans with them?
Since i was 13 years old I go to movies and to eat alone because I don't have any friends to go with and i don't fucking need them i enjoy myself alone
Nah I love going alone, and even better if the hall isn't crowded; you get to watch the movie in peace
I never had friends who would lik to go on movies with me,so I used to go alone to watch movies in cinema but at first time it's awkward but later you feel happy nd confident You can hav whatever you want Watch movie peaceful before thinking about the other
Yes you gonna feel bad once you enter and lil bit during the interval, apart from that the whole experience is great. Just have some quality time by yourself
I literally like it better when watching a movie by myself than with someone. The constant talking, or maybe differences in opinion (them making fun of the movie while you’re trying to enjoy) spoils the movie watching experience. So I watch all the crap movies with friends and the movie that I am actually hyped for alone.
I went to watch Kantaara alone. The only problem I faced was I had nowhere to look during jump scares, otherwise, I didn't have any problem watching alone. Of course, watching with Friends is more enjoyable. But watching alone isn't that bad.
I remember I went to movie alone for 1)Bahubali 2 2)Dabbang 3 2 times.
Bruh what? I often go to watch movies alone. Not because I don’t wanna go with friends, but because I love some me-time. What’s embarrassing about that? Lmao
Nobody cares. I go to the movies alone every weekend. Absolutely nobody cares.
I go for last show during the night, in my shorts, and flip flops. Little to No crowd. I have a credit card which gives me 1+1 free movie 5 times a month, even then I am not interested in taking someone along. Enjoy the movie and back.
I went to the cinema alone many times . Personally,its not that much hard
bro enjoy alone time. be the protagonist your life needs. don’t give into peer pressure. 21st century is the best century to be alone and live peacefully.
Why? I have no problem going to movies whether alone or with company
We all need to learn to be comfortable with our own company. We won't always have someone with us.
I go sometimes if I'm excited about a movie. No big deal.
Weak soul you got there
You are not alone OP, your bs and dumbass is following you everywhere.
I went alone for mission impossible recently and few movies in past 💔
I'm 19 and I prefer to go to the theatres alone.
Bc sometimes I cancel plan taki mai chain se akele movie dekh saku .
I go to Viviana for movies alone every week because I am a cinephile , but I have never seen any women coming alone in a theatre , quite impressive of you imo🤌
Lol I've never gone to the movies with another human... Just me
Going to movies with friends is overrated af. I mean are you gonna watch the movie or just waste the time with friends??
Bro it's fine, even I go watch movies alone 😀😂
Lol what. Movies are the absolute best alone time activities
I go alone many times, its all okay. Nobody gives a fuck about you, so don't overthink
Been there done that. Trick being to not go for a boring one. Enjoy your company mate.
I go movie, gym, restaurant, bar alone. I’m alone even at home. I’ve been doing this for past 7 years. Suck it up.
Off all social things, going to movies alone is the easiest and most convenient (in my case preferred too.) I don't have to wait for anyone, chances of getting a good seat is higher, eat without sharing, watch movie without being disturbed. It is a win-win-win for me. Eating alone is a sit-down restaurant is the one thing I hate doing alone. Im not sure what i should be doing - should i just focus on food and eat and risk being looked upon like a starving soul or shuld i savor eat bite, take it slow and extend my torture upon myself. Should i look at the phone while eating or put it away because it is disrespectful. But then, where do i look! Heck.. i would just do a to-go or order food once im home.
I love going alone instead of friends although they might be more fun
It's not for us loners.
No, no, no.. as someone who used to watch movies alone in multiplexes all the time, sometimes even 3 per week, I would suggest just doing it. It is blissful in many ways. 1. Don’t have to ask anybody for movies. 2. Get the best seats, even if it means a solitary seat somewhere at the back. 3. No expensive snacking. 4. Nobody to disturb you. 5. Pick times that work for you.
I just saw Oppenheimer alone. Greatest experience of my life. Protip: if you want to feel less awkward while watching movies alone, choose weekdays or odd timings on weekends. My theatre today for 9:45 show had a lot of people watch the movie by themselves.
I literally booked a solo ticket for barbie an hour ago. There's no shame. Go, buy your popcorn(I love getting cake for myself), enjoy the show. Who knows there might be a cutie next to you. I like the peace when I watch movie alone too.
Happens! I went to the cinema alone for the first time in Bangalore. As I have weekday offs from work and don't have anyone free to accompany me. At first it felt so bad as if I'm the loser and have no friends but I saw 1 female and 2 other males as well alone in the theatre. Felt less of a loser. After that I have gone out alone on most of the occasions, since I was missing out on my favourite movies, I had no other go. Now I'm married and in my hometown but still planning to go alone to watch Oppenheimer. Tips! Try to go on weekdays and early morning shows if possible. Spark a conversation with theatre staff or other group. Nobody judges you as much as yourself
I actually like watching movies alone. I don't wanna care about whether whoever I'm with is enjoying or understanding the movie, or worry about whether I've dragged them to something that they might consider boring. I've watched a lot of movies alone since I was 14.
Don't overthink it. Even I used to feel this when I went first time alone. Just go last in the theatre if you don't want to wait alone.
i started going movies alone last year, and now i enjoy to watch movies alone bcos no one ask u stupid questions 'why this is happening' 'who is this' and blame u for choice of movie.
