Is it pathetic to go to a movie by yourself?

I never go to movies by myself, but sometimes my friends can’t go because they’re busy or they’re not interested in seeing movie I want to. I’d sort of like to still go see these movies but I can’t help but feel that only losers go to movies by themselves.

What do you think?

    1. That’s a load of rubbish! Of course you can go by yourself – losers are people who get pushed around by society and don’t do what they feel because they fear what other people think of them.

      Here’s an easy tip: if you want to do something, do it – as long as it’s not breaking the law

      :)

    2. I think that if you want to go see a movie you should go see a movie. There’s nothing about it that makes you a loser.

    3. Not at all. IMO movies are intimate stuff, and if the friend/-s is too lousy you cant devote yourself fully to the screen and miss the director`s "message".
      Besides you can make new friends in the waiting hall.

    4. Do whatever you like!

      It gets easier with old age, but not caring what some random person thinks is quite liberating. Chances are nobody will pay you any mind anyways.

    5. I think it may be an uncommon thing to do for most people, but it is not pathetic. I can think of a few reasons why someone may go to the movies by themselves, and no one should feel odd about it.

    6. Change your mind about that.

      Because you’re going with your friends, you’re going to the movies your friends choose to go to. Unless you’re in the habit of choosing the movies they go to, I guess that takes he choice from your hands, which means that by going only with other people you’re missing out on all the fun films you would like to go and see.

      If you go alone, you don’t have to spring for somebody else’s popcorn and drinks, you can enjoy the movie without interruptions from your buddies and, best of all, you can catch fun films that you can tell everybody else about, and tell them they don’t know what they’re missing.

    8. There’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with going to see a movie by yourself. Sometimes, you might even enjoy it to going with a group of people. If there are some lagging periods before the movie, you can bring a book/magazine/ipod/iphone/other portable gaming device with you and read/play it.

      Besides, just because they don’t want to see the movie DOES NOT mean that YOU can’t see it. Since when do other people (especially if they aren’t family) dictate your life, even if its that little aspect?

      Go by yourself, have confidence, and trust me…no one else at the theater cares. They have all got their little problems to deal with.

    9. The first time I went by myself, I thought I’d stick out like a sore thumb. Quite the opposite happened, I just blended in with everyone else because nobody cares but you. I do it all the time now, never felt that way again and I love the freedom of being able to go if I want & when I want.

    10. I see nothing wrong with it. Do not worry about what anyone else will think. I see people going by themselves and I think nothing of it. I have wanted to go by myself on numerous occasions but whenever I told my friends I was going by myself they end up coming because they think i’m depressed or something. But sometimes I just want to chill by myself because I am ALWAYS around people. Go ahead and enjoy your time alone.

    11. Well, I almost always go to movies by myself because there are only certain movies I want to see and I don’t want to miss them just because I was "waiting" for a friend to finally get some free time to go with me. I learned this long ago, if you wait until a friend or family can go with you, you’re going to end up missing out on a whole lot of things and you’re going to start resenting it. For a long whenever I would say "I’m going to Europe since I’ve never been" all my friends would go "Oh, don’t go without me, we’d have so much fun, it’s just that I just bought a new car so I can do a vacation this year, wait until next year" (or something along those lines) and I’d wait until next year and it’d be something else they just spent money on and then, next thing I know my friend is saying "oh, I had soooooo much fun in Europe, just got back, you’d have LOVED it…" and I’m going, hey, you said we’d go together and then you go off and go without me and now have to rub my face in it??? So, I stopped waiting. I now will tell people I’m going somewhere and if they want to come along, I’m planning to see the 2:00 show (or whatever) and they can be there or not. There’s just too much in this life I do not want to miss simply because I’m waiting for a friend or relative to get their act together. I also have a few friends who have to analyze every little thing about a movie right after the movie and I really just want to luxuriate in the glow of a movie I really like, not tear it apart or talk about why the director did this or something. I’m not that movie technical and really couldn’t care less how things got done if the movie is good.

      To me, people who cannot do things alone lack initiative and confidence like those schools of fish where each individual fish is kind of helpless/mindless if they get separated from the pack. Then there’s those people who can function just fine whether in a pack or by themselves–like a wolf.

    12. That is all on ur head. I been going to movies alone since I was 13. I been to theaters one after another, that was when they had 3 movies for .50 cent.
