There is a concept that my sister and I follow. Its called a "Me Day". A Me Day is when you plan to go off on your own and be your own best friend. It's liberating and can be quite an eye opener too.
I have had Me Days where I go off and explore a different part of Sydney. I sometimes go off & have a coffee and read a book. Some Me Days I go shopping, swim at the beach, watch a movie and I even travel by myself.
I have told many people that I often go to the cinema and see a movie by myself. Some people feel awkward, they feel sorry for me and some even say that I should call them if I am going solo. I figure that you dont really talk to someone during the movie and the only time you do interact with others is right before and right after the movie.
The first time I went to the movies by myself was on a Saturday night. It was terrifying and at the same time it taugh me a lot about myself, especially that no one really cares if you are alone at the movies and if they do see you alone, it only stays with them a few seconds.
I do sometimes feel self conscious eating by myself but it's nothing that a book or communal dining can't solve.
I'm travelling again in a few weeks ... yeah, sometimes I wish I could share my oohhhhs & ahhhs with someone else but travelling by myself pushes me to interact with more people. I strike up conversations & often am motivated by the fact that I'll never see them again or they can blame me for being a tourist.
My biggest concern when travelling is who will take photos of me?
