It's strange to me that this would be news to anyone. That said, as someone who has had so many wild experiences all alone, I eventually had the epiphany that none of it matters if you have noone to share it with.

I am several decades old and I still have to remind myself I'm allowed to go have fun by myself.

It is normal. Just do it. People who have an issue with this are creating their own problems. It's a YOU problem.

They aren't asking for permission. They are asking for attention.

On the other hand, I'm autistic and have no frame of reference for some of the things I want to do. How can I just show somewhere alone without knowing the social norms?

As long as you aren't talking to yourself loudly in the theater or eating popcorn at a volume comparable to the Dolby, literally nobody will fucking care. In both cases, the solution is to close your god damned mouth.

I go to restaurants, concerts and other shit by myself all the time. I go some Sporting events by myself, even out of town. In fact, I'm going to take a nostalgia road trip and watch an indoor soccer match.

Eh, went to my first concert by myself. Lost my spot when I had to pee and got to watch my favorite band from side stage.

The restaurant one makes sense. Don't wanna get your food poisoned when you need to walk away to use the bathroom.

There’s nothing stopping you from asking another adult from taking a picture of you without your phone held up in the middle of it like a caveman brandishing the first burning branch.

I want to go to the comfy movies but all the seating is loveseat couches. I might have to share that with a stranger. So anyways I heard WoW is good again?

The ones I go to have armrests that fold down. No need to share with others.

Ooh so I can pretend they don't exist. I like that.
