How can I go to a movie alone?
I watched Barfi alone. Let me give some background info. I am a divorcee and stay along with my parents. Most of my relatives have no knowledge about this and my family wants to protect me from their comments. Divorces are unheard of in my community. People just end up giving me advise of how I should impress my husband and go that extra mile even if it means giving dowry.So saturday a relative was visiting home. I had to step out during that period so I got a little courageous and checked online for tickets to watch Barfi. It was jam packed. I still ended up at Forum and started reading a book in CCD. I dont know what prompted me but I went upstairs just to double check if there were any tickets available. I waited for 5 mins, a stranger approached me and asked if I want to buy two tickets for barfi. I was really happy but said I am a single person and cant buy both. I was actually debating in my mind if I should just buy both and give the other to some lonely person like me for free. Fortunately he agreed and sold me the single ticket. Here I was all alone in pvr, watching a movie alone for the first time in my life. I was extremely emotional because of how hard my life had become and was also proud of myself that I was brave enough to get out of home and watch a movie by myself. I will never forget that movie. I cried for the entire length of the movie. I would have never done that if I was accompanied by friends or family. After seeing Ranbir struggle through life I started appreciating my life better. I had lost hope but after watching the movie I realised I will also have a happy ending. Will wait for it to come.Edit 1- Thanks a lot everybody for being so supportive. I started appreciating my education only after my marriage sank. I was very happy that I could be independent. My parents would have supported me otherwise as well. I was in chronic depression so went abroad and pursued MS. I came back and have been working in an e commerce company from past 2 years. Many people have written that I should forget past, life goes on. I appreciate that but trust me it is not as easy as it sounds. It is not just you but your entire family which goes through that phase. I pray that no girl ever goes through such pain especially without committing any mistake.Sharanya Singh and Neelansh Tewari thanks for promoting the answer.
What do 'loners' do in their spare time?
At school, there is this one girl who prefers to be alone. I'm curious about her because I've always really had friends and they take up a lot of my leisure time; so I've been wondering what she does in hers. I know that this is really stereotypical, and everyone is different, but I'd like to know if 'loners' or people that choose to not have friends/are out casted, do in their spare time? Just a generalization. Do they just do what other people usually do with their friends such as going to the movies, going to the shops, but alone?
What do you think about people who eat alone?
As a restaurateur, a solo diner gets special attention because there is a chance that they are a reviewer or at the very least a blogger. If they have a notepad and are taking photos, their tickets will be marked VIP to ensure that they get the absolute best the kitchen can possibly deliver, and be pushed to the front of service ahead of everyone else, no matter what. So, from the restaurant’s point of view (assuming this is a quality restaurant and not some crap shack), the diner will be treated to the best the place can deliver. It pays to dine alone and pretend to be a reviewer, even if you aren’t.
I feel alone and left out by my friends in a group; what should I do?
When I was in middle school, I felt the same way about one of my friend groups. I noticed that they always seemed to have an easier time talking amongst themselves. They had inside jokes I wasn’t weighing in on, their humor seemed to become more and more foreign to me, and they seemed to not care at all when I wasn’t there with them. I felt like an outsider looking through the glass.About a year later, I looked back on this, and realized that I simply didn’t fit in with them. I had different interests, different perspectives, different humor, different philosophy, different lifestyle, different everything. I wanted to be in a group that I wasn’t meant to be in.Going further into this, I also understood the group dynamics that caused me to drift from them.I’m an introvert. When I hang out with friends, I started noticing that I start burning out after around an hour. I simply got tired of socializing and went back to my awkward self. I always preferred doing things by myself rather than with other people. Now the group I was in seemed to care more about how well you can socialize to make each other happy. I obviously lost when it came to that factor.I matured. I also realized that I matured at a much faster rate than the friend group I was in at the time. I was going through a rough time, and I had a lot of time to contemplate morals, values, ethics, as well as my beliefs, desires, and insecurities. I gained multiple new perspectives, while my friend group stayed in their middle school teenager mindset.I had different friendship values. The friend group that I was in during middle school, had different friendship values than me. I valued acceptance, tolerance, listening to each other, and cherishing each other, while they valued having a good time together, enjoying the now, and relating to each others’ interests. So from those principles, we naturally drifted. To be honest, I don’t really think they truly cared about me as a human being.That was my experience with being pushed out of a friend group.I can’t speak for you, but my suggestion to you would be to simply see how things go. You’ll want to be more communicative with them, and maybe it’s due to other factors for why you felt more distant. Eventually, you’ll know whether or not to stick with them. At the same time, go out of your comfort zone. Be open-minded and make some friends with other people.
Why are the best artists usually social outcasts?
In most cases, they spend a lot of time being an artist, and less time being social because most people aren't intrestested in what they are intrested in, so they keep to themselves and get better and better at being an artist instead of going out with a group of people to the movies or something.
Is it possible for a guy to be a loner at heart yet still outgoing?
It's very typical for a loner to prefer to be alone yet like to party in small groups. Such people tend to have a small number of close friends and a few more distant acquaintances. Being an outgoing loner is not a contradiction in terms. Loners are not afraid of company. They just prefer solitude. In short, you're confusing being a loner with being a social outcast. However, if you like to party with lots of friends and if you have a whole bunch of friends, that probably means you're not a loner. And astrology has nothing to do with it. I'm a loner and I'm a gemini.
What zodiac sign can be a social reject and outcast?
Aquarius Grandmother is a social reject and outcast. By choice. She seems bubbly and fun and independent. Then she's all down and lonely cuz she has no friends. I definitely think it's Aquarius esp with all the other responses. Cancer can be too, at times.
What are the pros and cons of being a loner?
Well, here are some points off the top of my head, based on experience:ProsYou have ample time to develop yourself. This may be the biggest advantage of being a loner. You can develop yourself effectively while you're alone.You don't have to restrict your opinions, because you're not in a group. No one can be offended while you're alone.You remain away from the troubles of the 'outside world', i.e. people quarreling over small issues, hypocrisy, sycophancy and all that.You can do whatever you want to. There is no one watching you (okay, maybe except NSA).Other people do not affect your decisions. Your decisions are yours only, and hence, you can do whatever is best for you. No emotional decisions.You don't have to put up with people you don't like. Since you don't socialize that much, you can easily avoid people you don't wanna talk to.You are a mystery for people. That way, you get a little fame. People try to figure out what it is that you do while you're on your own.ConsYou feel lonely at some point of time. You feel the need to talk to people but can't just because you aren't very good at it. You end up wasting your energy in distractions. And, you are more prone to depression and negative thoughts.You have no or very less friends. When in need, you only have a few people to turn to. If you have to get help, you don't have many people to do so.You are a subject of constant critique. People talk about your 'rude' and 'cold' behaviour and eventually they start disliking you for the same.You are fully accountable for your decisions. In a case where you fail because of the bad decisions, there will be more people to judge you than console you. You cannot share blame on the decisions.You kind of miss out on many group activities, which are fun, and add to your experience. Being a loner restricts you from engaging in activities that are normally performed in groups.In real-life situations and professions which require you to socialize with people, you will get increasingly uncomfortable, because you don't have much experience and will to interact with people around you.You start avoiding people more and more, even if it was not your intention in the first place. You start with small steps and move to bigger areas, when you start losing interest in them, or in various subtleties of things around you.
