How do you guy have the courage to go see a flick on your own?
I love movies, I love the cinema but have few friends. Even on cheap night when there are like 5 people in there, I just can't do it. I feel like a loser and a weirdo. I kinda am desu but I still wanna see movies on the big screen.

Yeah, I go all the time.

I don't have any friends so if I really want to see something in theaters, I'll go alone. If there's enough action, my dad will go with me too (not bad because he always pays for extra food)

People pay less attention to you than you think.

The fact that you care about other people's thoughts go on full beta mode and put on a suit.
People might think you're a film critiqué

I genuinely enjoy going by myself. Who fucking cares if you feel weird about it? Your solo trip to the theater will mean literally nothing to the other people there. I usually avoid going on Friday or Saturday night when it'd be busy, but I have no qualms about going by myself.

I go to the movies on my own 95% of the time. Most of my friends are all into sports, gym, gaming etc and I don't really have any movie friends. It's easy to find someone to go watch a Marvel movie with but for something like Moonlight or Silence I just go on my own. It's really not a big deal, plus on the odd occasion you might meet new people.

I wish I had the courage of you guys.
The last 2 times I've been I've been a weird third wheel which is probably worse

There's nothing wrong with it op. If you do feel self conscious about you can always turn up a little late when the trailers are almost done. Most people are sitting down and won't notice you at all

>plus on the odd occasion you might meet new people.
H-how??

lol just go in and sit down, like what the fuck. How do you people even operate at these high autism levels.
Nobody is gonna talk to you, that's outside of protocol anyway so what the fuck could possibly happen to you?
Somebody asks you something, just ignore them and walk away.
That's how i do things, I see no reason to interact with people who I dont know unless they are doing their job and are relevant to my life.

>I feel

I go during weekdays when the cinema is pretty much empty anyway.

Also helps that I'm friends with a girl who works there so I usually get to talk to her for a bit.

I've never had friends who want to watch movies at the cinema outside of anything mainstream and felt awkward being at the cinema by myself in my hometown. Now I'm in London and there's cheap independent cinemas everywhere and I've long since ceased giving a fuck. I've either got to do it, or I'll have to avoid spoilers for 6 months and watch it on my computer, and fuck doing that for every single movie that comes out.

Sit next to someone who is also there on their own and talk to them. Don't be such a sperg. You obviously have self-confidence issues, user. If they are there on their own just make small talk about how you're excited to see the movie or whatever.

>You obviously have self-confidence issues
Actually, I really don't. I get board of people extremely fast.

Dont see how the theaters are a place to meet people though.

This is fucking unacceptable. No one is going to the movies alone to make friends and I can't think of anything worse than some cunt sitting next to me and having a chat.

There's a time and a place, the cinema isn't it. Cut it out, la

Lol I'd be so annoyed if someone I didn't know sat next to me and talked to me.

The only time I actually ended up in a convo with a stranger was when the projector broke when I went to go see Whiplash, so I chatted with a 50 year old woman about what movies we had seen recently until it got fixed.

Is it autism?

>be me long time ago
>go see Prometheus on my own
>only a handful of people in cinema due to midweek
>look at seat number, lol nobody even here i'm sitting in the middle for max 3D
>guy comes with gf, "that's my seat"
>decide to not be a push over, "mate, the place is empty
>guy gets agro body language and acts like he's about to attack me
>his gf calms him and ushers him away to another row
>feel like a complete fucking loser through the whole film
>never again, shitty tpb copies for me

Honestly best thing to do it just sit in your designated seat.
Here's my story
>be me
>going to watch TDKR with friends
>this is a Wednesday morning so pretty empty
>sit anywhere
>guy with his family comes in and says we are sitting in their seats
>"no worries" we hop down to the isle in front
>"are these your seats?" He asked
>say no but not a big deal because it's empty and the movie has just started
>starts giving us a hard time about how we're teenage delinquents and just need to sit in the right spot and follow the rules blah blah blah
>I tell him to get fucked
>he reports us and we get kicked out

No, is it you?

That sounds like a shitty TDKR experience, but it could've been worse: you could've seen it at midnight on opening night in Aurora, CO
