It was similar to how I felt when I took off on my own for another country when I was a freshman in college. If I could handle myself in some unfamiliar country at age 18, it felt like there really wasn't much of anything I couldn't do. Gaining personal independence is an important milestone in human development.
Totally agree, if only more people thought like you Tabula! They really are missing out.
Agree with the posts...^^^ I love doing things alone and do so with confidence...movies, beach, lunches, walks; traveled twice so far on vacations alone- the more I do solo, the more I WANT to do alone!
I like doing lots of things by myself. Annoying mindless chit chat isn't my style, I get enough of that at work.
I used travel much more than I do now and I always did that alone, so of course I would dine alone, visit museums alone, etc.
I enjoy walking and hiking alone, as well as shopping alone. I don't enjoy dining out alone.
I've never gone to a bar or a club alone, although that's on my bucket list. Just once, to walk into a bar, have a drink, chat with the patrons, and leave alone. Don't know if I'll ever actually do it.
