Anyone else enjoy it? I’m thinking of going to and Indy show next weekend to meet a few legends supposed to be appearing and it’ll most likely be by myself. Anyone else like doing things by themselves or with someone else. Don’t make this a stupid thread either please
Edit: I don’t want this to just be wrestling related. It could be going to movies, out to eat, or anything.

If something I want to do is within reasonable scope and distance, I'll absolutely go in the absence of anyone else interested in tagging along. I'd have missed out on a lot of things were I unwilling to do so.

When I was in college I used to go to indy shows by myself all the time. Even traveled to a few Wrestlemania's alone. I always figured that just because my friends weren't interested in going didn't mean I shouldn't still enjoy myself.

Depends... I recently moved to a new province, from Ontario to BC and don't know anyone but my girlfriend. It actually forces you out of your comfort zone. If you really love something like indy shows, sports, etc. Then why not? You may meet some new friends along the way.
I've taken countless drives around Vancouver Island, stopped in at coffee shops at restaurants, tried to talk to locals. Really new experience for me.
I've been heading to local bars to eat and just chatting up the bartenders too, something I normally wouldn't do but it's an excuse to get out. Seems sad but from my experience in the bar industry, bartenders like it when people are sane and it's not too busy haha. I also don't have cable so that's a big drives.

Depends I spend most of my day by myself so whenever possible I like to include my wife and daughter (when she’s not away for college) but then there’s times I just don’t want to wait and just want to go by myself. Really it just depends on my mood that day. But for the most part I like to include them.

Watching tv. My favorite thing to do by myself. My wife doesn’t like the same shows/movies as me

I do most things alone. I appreciate loneliness more than I appreciate being social and with a ton of people. Going to the movies alone is fantastic.

I like doing things alone. Whether it's a toy show, concert, movie, comic-con, horror fest, flea market, garage sale, rummage sale, dinner or anything else. This way, I'm not stuck waiting for someone who is always late. Plus I like being alone with my thoughts sometimes. It's kind of relaxing not having to answer "What are you thinking?" If people have a problem with it, screw them. I never had privacy as a kid. Now I cherish it as an adult.

I travelled from Newcastle to London for NXT Takeover London by myself a few years ago. If there's something I really want to do I'll not let having no one to go with stop me. I have a couple days off work in a few weeks time and I was thinking of just hopping on the train and having a trek up to Edinburgh by myself, sometimes it's nice doing your own thing and not having to worry about other people.

I hate doing things alone. I prefer to wait until a time my wife is available to go with me. It really makes everything more enjoyable.

Really depends on what I'm doing dont like going to the movies,out for dinner,going to sporting events,concerts etc. Then there are things I rather do myself like watching TV,going to stores looking for figures and Pops so I guess it all depends on what I'm doing.

I love going to thrift stores alone. No one else in my family will set foot inside one besides my Uncle. I also watch movies or TV in my room alone. I only go places with other people when I am with my mom and her cousin.

I went up to Edinburgh myself a couple of months ago for a gig and a general day out in the town. And I'll be doing it again in May. Over a year ago I did the same thing by flying out to Holland for a few days by myself (this one was pre girlfriend days though.) Even though I have been with her now for over a year we each know the importance of having time to ourselves. We both had many many years of independence before meeting so it's only natural that we'll want to do our own thing sometimes.

I love it. I only have a few people I really hang out with. I've never been a person who hangs out in huge groups. I would always see pictures on social media with 20+ people in a photo and I hated the the idea of hanging out with a group of people that large. I remember going to see my friend(with benefits) at a pub after work about a year ago, and she did the awkward introducing me to my friends thing where they all turn around and stare at you. Not even a hello. Just looking at me, like who the is this guy. None of them were people I'd ever hang out with. I just wanted to be alone with my friend without these other inconveniences or at home relaxing. After school I became a bit of a loner, and just stuck to my count on one hand list of friends or made new friends. We never all hung out together though. It was like being a member of 2 or 3 different factions. I was like Triple H in that SmackDown Vs. Raw storyline where he hangs out with DX, but also hangs out with Evolution, but they don't hang out together. I enjoy going to see a movie by myself in the afternoon when it's quiet. Then you get the insecure people who've never heard of such a thing and call you 'weird' for doing it. Usually the same people who can't wrap their head around an adult not drinking. Never understood people who can't go and see a movie alone, you're sitting in silence for 2 hours, you don't need company. I haven't been to a movie alone in quite a while though now that I'm in a relationship, which is nice. Even now in a relationship though, I still need my alone time, because I was used to it for so many years. I'll also be going to my first WrestleMania week alone this year. If I had relied on people to save money and come with me then I would have been sorely ing disappointed. Moral of the story: don't put your dreams in anyone's hands. Luckily I didn't need to learn that one the hard way and went into it expecting to be let down the moment I started saving. Like some people above said: if there's something I really want to do, I won't let anyone or anything stop me. I like going into the town by myself, because when I head out, I like to put my earphones in, listen to some Avenged Sevenfold and just block everything out.

I like doing several things by myself. Going to wrestling shows, going to baseball games, shopping especially if looking for figs or funko, and sometimes just take a drive. When shopping I like to visit multiple stores in different areas and when with someone they like to take their time and go to other places that are all in one spot. Use to go to MLB games by myself more because I would go on booblehead nights and would make a whole day of it with walking around a few stores and waiting on line before gates open, but I took a cousin to a game a couple of years ago and she enjoyed it and liked going to the stores and waiting for the booblehead so it kind of became our thing to do together.

I do many things by myself. My Wife works at afternoon/night most of the time and she doesn't like the Movies that I like. So movies are almost all of the time just me. I go to the mall by myself, shopping by myself and so on. On some Sundays I'll have a "Me Day" where I'll go out to eat and a movie by myself.

i spent a lot of my youth in a form of isolation - i grew up in a rural area and so spending time by myself became a normality almost as quickly as i'd learned to speak.
my current work allows me to spend large parts of the day by myself and i do truly enjoy it, but only because i do keep busy and have a social life for the rest of the time.

Absolutely, I love doing stuff by myself and being alone. I've been in a relationship for the past 5 years and even now still love doing things alone and being alone. I eat by myself all the time and it's great. I'd absolutely see a movie alone or go somewhere alone if nobody else wanted to come. I wouldn't want to go to a bar alone though because I actually do enjoy drinking with people.

I do most things alone including shopping and eating. I especially like going to the movie theater by myself in the morning and having the entire room to myself.
