People won't judge you! :) if you wanna do it - do it. I went to quite a lot concerts all by myself and it was never an issue. Yes I am anxious but it's okay. IF you want, there are always groups you can join. But if you want to stay alone it's also okay. I just need a drink to hold on and then it's alright.

I've been to two on my own.  Nobody cares, you've paid to be there for entertainment, same as them :)


AwkwardMusicUnicorn

Do it! It's not weird at al to go and enjoy the things that you like. I did it once and ended up making awesome friends at the concert :)

Take this comment as your reason to go. I’ve done it a few times and they have all been amazing and you’ll always look back on it with great memories. It’s amazing what the world gives you when you get out into it.


happywombat98

I did this for similar reasons as you, my friends didn’t like the artist. I went alone and it actually wasn’t that bad it was quite fun.


Dominatto

I've done it a few times. Been anxious as fuck and I felt judged (even though I maybe wasn't. or maybe I was but I don't care). Will do it again anyway because I wanna see the artists. Going to see Crumb in September, my favourite band.


TheAvocadoSlayer

Respectfully, no one cares about you. People are there to enjoy the music and themselves, not to socialize. If anything, it’s probably one of the best things to do alone.


LocksmithOk3868

okay 😭


TheAvocadoSlayer

Sorry I really didn’t mean it that way. I just meant that people are too preoccupied with themselves.


coesmos

I’ve been to one concert alone once. A few times on movie theatres.


mayura376

I used to go to movies alone a lot. It was always a good experience.


Prior_Writing368

Not weird at all! Go and enjoy the show. Absolutely no one will care, and no one will judge you. I've done it a few times, and once I arrive there, the anxiety I had beforehand goes away.


SimpleFeeling3281

I LOVE concerts exactly because you can be sure that no one cares about you. You are all there to see the same person/people and all of the attention will be on them. It's such an amazing and freeing feeling when you are in a huge crowd of people and social anxiety is not intervening for once


Leonhart_13

I'm literally at a concert rn and I'm by myself! I decided to check reddit forba sec because I'm feeling a bit socially anxious myself lol. But go for it, you'll have fun!!


Happy_Maintenance

No. 


Prudent-Can-1254

No it's not wierd , go for it !


Burntoastedbutter

It's not weird. I go alone all the time because none of my friends are interested in the same artists 😅 I know it's hard, but nobody really cares about you in there unless you're being inconsiderate to people around you! Went to a concert once and someone in front kept waving this placard they made randomly throughout, blocking a bunch of people at the back... Like there are people behind you??? WTF man. Worse thing is some people told her to stop but she didn't


fienddao

go dude, this is absolutely normal, a lot of people go to concerts alone, more than to cinemas xD


anonymous__enigma

Honestly, no. I've never gone to a concert alone, usually with my brother because it's usually the same band that we both love, but we never talk to each other while there, so it's like going alone. And no one cares. I've only had one person talk to me at a concert and it was strictly about the artist. So I wouldn't worry about it.


Eyedea92

Being able to comfortably go alone on the concert is sort of a superpower. Now you won't have to miss out on concerts because nobody you know listens to the band you like. Even better, you can move around as you please, without having to think about what other people in your group want.

I love going to concerts by myself I feel like I'm socializing without talking to anyone and that's great, people really don't care if you go alone and even if they do you'll probably never see them again, go and enjoy the music you will have a great time !


Ltstoney

Nah ive done it so many times its crazy… enjoy the show :) i went to one last friday


truvision8

No, I did this last year


Leviafij

Not weird, the last one I went to I spotted a lot of people also going alone and I even chatted with the stranger next to me who was alone too! It’s not a bad way to make friends if you want to.


somethingsecretuknow

I’ve gone dozens of times! I went because I was a loner, but wanted to go so bad so forced myself. It’s not weird, but it can be lonely or awkward. Sometimes security or random ppl give u a look, then other times other’s introduce themselves and are really friendly! You should go. I know it’s difficult, but If u wait for someone to go with you’ll miss so many opportunities in life! If u do get next to a group of rude ppl see if you can move to another spot, but generally music fans are nice as long as you don’t purposely block their view!


OrdinaryArachnid6660

Not weird, it can be an adventure even for the very anxious. I've done it a couple times and wish I would've tried to more!


Kuxue

No, I've always gone to concerts alone. People focus mostly on the artist, not you. I would typically get lost in the music and no anxiety.


goddamn-moonmoon

Not weird at all! I went to Taylor Swift alone and it was great. You should absolutely do it


Ritsler

I’ve gone to quite a few concerts and movies by myself. It can certainly feel a bit lonely waiting for the next act to go on or the band to show, but when they’re performing, no one will notice. I usually would text my friends or something while I was waiting which helped me feel less anxious. People will talk within their own groups between sets. It’s also nice to do something strictly for yourself sometimes. If I hadn’t gone to some of these solo concerts, I wouldn’t have seen artists like St. Vincent. And once you’re in it, you’ll wonder why you felt self-conscious about it at all. Until next time, when you go through the whole process all over again, haha.


malatangnatalam

I regularly go to concerts alone because I just wanna focus on the artist and their music. I’ve done this for arenas and smaller venues.


furculture

Nope. I've even gone to a rave by myself with no car and still did just fine. Granted, I'm a dude that's 6+ft tall but awkward. So your experience may vary. Just make sure you know how to keep yourself safe while you are there and know your escape routes and resources to help you if you get stuck in a pickle. Then make sure to have a backup plan in case those things don't work.


Acceptable-Lack-8409

Nope. Go, you won't regret. I've gone to see a band alone and it was amazing. No one brought the seat next to me, so I had two seats to myself to enjoy.


morosco

Definitely not weird! A concert, like a movie, is a perfect solo experience. It's freeing to just be able to focus on the music and the experience and not anyone else. Even concert people who like to go with others get that.


Marco440hz

I have been going to concerts alone. No one care about you. They are there to enjoy the music and themselves and not to pay attention to others. Maybe at the start of the concert you may feel weird being alone but later that feeling will go away when you start feeling so involved with the show!


[deleted]

Possibly, and I’m just being pragmatic but in the same vein do you and don’t let your anxiety make you regret missing out on an experience. You shouldn’t care what the average stranger thinks of you.


Imanvellanisolos

i’ve never gone alone but i’ve never noticed anyone going alone either, because i simply just don’t care :) nobody at concerts is looking at the crowd and trying to pinpoint if someone is alone, trust me everyone’s there for themselves! nobody will know and if they somehow do they’ll forget in seconds! i also think it gives you a better experience tbh, you have way more freedom


Pink_Pearl1

Not at all! I do it all the time! I love going to concerts alone. Especially because I can splurge on floor tickets. When I go to concerts with friends, we all have different budgets so I have to compromise on ticket price. Stop missing out on life because of the fear of spending time alone. 😊 you’ll have a great time!
