Are you comfortable going places alone or do you NEED a companion around?

Question

I enjoyed Vegas alone.  A lot of people assume you need a group of friends but you really dont. The strangers there easily become your friends and you hangout like you’ve known eachother for years. I did not enjoy the club but i’m totally fine going to the pool alone. I also like going to the casino alone as I’m focused on making my money. Im fine going to a restaurant alone because I usually sit at the bar and flirt. I haaaate going to the mall, grocery store, and movies alone lol.  I need someone to walk and talk with. I’m fine traveling out of state alone but im not fine traveling out of the country alone. I want to go to so many of the theme parks we mentioned yesterday but that is not a place I want to go to alone. I’m all about coasters but refuse to ride them alone lol. All my family and friends fear coasters. The few acquaintances who would ride are likely to flake on another trip, so there's that. I went apartment hunting alone in another state but that was fun and may as well be comfortable since I’ll be alone once i move there. Overall, I prefer traveling places alone because I can do what I want when I want. I’m definitely the type to walk off from the group and go off alone. Thats just me. I’m not a people person and can't hang with someone for more than 2 hours a day because they piss me off quite quickly.  #FeelFreeToList #FinalDestination

I like going majority of places alone except for the movies (which it’s been at least 18 years since I’ve been to a walk in movie) and going to a restaurant to sit down and eat and I guess if I went to a smut shop I would want to take a chick with me I think it’s really weird for a guy to go to a smut shop alone that be like going to hang with your buddies to watch porn just weird and of course there’s some places I don’t like anyone to go with me such as the casino and I usually like to work by myself because I get more done by myself than if I have one or two guys helping me I’ve always been somewhat antisocial

I have rarely done that, but I also am not very social and don't approach others and others do not approach me, so when I have its rather boring.

If I do travel alone that is okay, I just need to expect to not talk to anyone as I'm not very good at making friends either.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I tend to travel on my own for business, however I like giving others a chance to also travel.

I have travelled constantly all my adult life, lockdown is pretty much the only time I have not.

I also tend to meet people when travelling or rather people approach me and assume I’m friendly 🤦

My friends Also like the idea of me travelling alone as I am a nutter magnet, for some reason anyone who’s crazy, care on the community will break the sound barrier trying to chat to me.

Some friends are brilliant to travel with as they are at times invisible and other times equally as crazy doing random stuff.

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

I can do either, but I'm very outgoing and social so any time I go somewhere alone I end up not being alone for long.

In fact I almost never have to start a conversation, people approach me and start talking and then I just talk back and we keep it going. Even done the theme park thing alone, met a guy in line and we spent the rest of the day going on rides together before.

I do prefer to go with friends or my boyfriend though, but not a requirement. I have even gone camping a lone before on many occasions.

CurlyGirl42 · Answer

I am comfortable doing most things alone, even moved to another country, so travelling solo is not a big deal anymore. Though, not so comfy when I don't speak the language and the average population only understand very little English. But did not stop me anyway :P
Of the things you mention going to amusement parks for rides is the only thing I would not do alone. Also not clubs, unless there'd be a concert. Bars are ok, easier to get to talk with someone :)

A person with me is like some constraints being put on me. Constraints like behavior, some expectations etc.
I prefer to do everything alone, as like that there are no expectations from you.
I watched a movie alone a few months back, and it was the first film I enjoyed the most.

melanieeeB · Answer

In the past I would always ask for my friends to join me and they would always say yes etc but in the end we wouldn't go at all to anything, besides clubbing.
So for years I did everything by my own, movies, restaurants, shopping and all that.
The last like two years I did nearly everything with my ex tho but whatever

Blackcupcake · Answer

I’m comfortable going places alone, and one of my future goals is to travel solo to many different places around the world. But I do enjoy good company, especially with the people that I’m close with and who know me well cause then we know for sure that we will have a blast. Meeting new people is however a different type of fun and also exciting cause you honestly never know who you could bond and possibly build a new friendship with.

Kreneman · Answer

When it comes to places that I am excited about and things to do that I know for a fact that I am going to cherish it, I don't mind going alone because I enjoy telling my family and friends my great experiences and to me, it's better that way because I don't want nobody to ruin my journey but it does hurt sometimes going alone though.

TheSpaceGnome · Answer

I only feel like I need to have a traveling companion if I've never been to the area before, or its somewhere far from home.

I'm not the traveling type though, I'm the homebody type, so my traveling is just for shopping purposes mostly, and I'm fine doing those trips both on my own or with company, but good company is better than no company.

Shark_61695 · Answer

I have to be comfortable going places on my own, otherwise I couldn't go anywhere :)

My main issue is getting off my arse in the first place.

I know that if I went on holiday on my own, I'd spend far too much productive time sleeping through the day. I also like going to museums with others so we can chat about the exhibits but if activities are involved like arcade machines then you won't get anything from me.

Likes2drive · Answer

It’s never a choice for me, I never have anyone to do things with except my daughters when they are not in college, no big deal driving alone out of state or going to movies anymore, but I wouldn’t go to a theme park or Vegas alone, maybe one day I’ll have a girlfriend again to do those things again

Fromdusktilldawn · Answer

I dont have a girlfriend nor any good friends that would join me anywhere, so I'm used to do anything alone, might it be seeing a movie (except my brother joins me), a theme park, skiing, or going to a pool. I dont even do city trips or travel alone, but maybe I do once I earn some money when I finished university.

I see it mostly normal that girls are mostly more in groups/with friends on tour and guys are more alone going around

My toxic mom made me feel bad for being happy in my own company.
She said as if there's something mentally retarded being independent. She is the type of person who encourages being fake with people and keeping in touch with toxic ones.

Babybebe15 · Answer

Lol, I’m opposite of you. I like running errands on my own, but cannot travel alone. I can run errands in my own city on autopilot, but with traveling I gotta figure stuff out and it’s more stressful so I need someone with me.

Киттйлинк · Answer

Going places alone is the stupidest unsafest thing anyone could ever do. Regardless of all the pros anyone can argue, it’s a stupid way to make yourself go missing. Unless you want to disappear.

hhadeshatesme · Answer

im fine doing things alone and I enjoy my own company but doing certain things feels safer being with friends

matchrestore · Answer

I used to want a companion until I started traveling for work. Now I have no problem bellying up to a bar on my own or going to see attractions on my own when I have free time.

PeacefulRainDrop · Answer
