But my mother thought that was so strange go to the cinema by myself that it made me think it was, so i never went and i missed the oportunity. I definetly try´ll to doing again.

      The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH!

      I think it's happened to me two or three times, and the very first occurrence was a horror movie, where the lights and screen went dark at the start of the end credits, and I sat alone in the dark for 10-20 minutes before a staff member came in to clean up and got spooked to see someone sitting in the dark. I didn't move for three reasons: my phone was dead, I was patiently waiting for the film attendant to reset the movie in order to light the room, and I was pretty scared from the movie to walk around blindly.

    “Pass me the popcorn!”

But with concerts, you can show up alone but leave with a handful of new friends.

    Going alone is the best! (Though I usually do matinee screenings when I can.) You can see whatever you want, eat whatever you want, dress however you want, and sit wherever you want.
    I’ve really missed going to the theater. Even if the movie’s not that good, to me the experience is worth it. My local fancy theater likes to do a Miyazaki month and I hope that someday I can catch Howl’s Moving Castle or Princess Mononoke on the big screen for the first time. But, covid’s still icky and I’m currently doing a dental plan that makes snacking irritating (and you can’t not get that popcorn when you can smell it!)

      @KlutzyNinjaKitty 10 месяцев назад

      @@UnknownGuy_22 Admittedly, this question is a tricky one for me to answer. I’m a pretty nervous, low-risk person. And even though I love going to the movies on my own, I still experience a lot of anxiety up until I’m finally in my seat.
      I think, in general, it’s really just a matter of weighing what’s more important. “Doing something that might be nerve-racking in the moment, but ultimately having a good time and building a fun memory” vs. “not doing that thing for the sake of immediate comfort.” I’d much rather go out there in spite of my anxieties than just… do nothing. And I also try to detach myself for a moment and look at things from a more realistic perspective. As long as you’re polite and quiet, no one’s gonna notice you or care that you’re by yourself. They’re gonna be focused on the movie or their friends/date.
      I also try to streamline the movie-going process as much as I can (which can vary depending on which theater I go to.) I buy my ticket/seat online, I plan out what snacks I want in advance so I don’t get analysis paralysis in the moment, I make sure to go to the bathroom at home before I leave, I get there a little bit early so I have plenty of time and so I don’t rush. And that gives me time in my seat to just kinda wind down before the movie starts.

I came out of class early that afternoon and I decided to just buy a ticket and watch the movie. The movie theater was practically empty and I was so absorbed in the movie and enjoyed it that it was a pretty great experience. Imagine having a whole theater to yourself. I don't know if I would be able to do that now though I feel like I would be more self-conscious/judged by others but it was pretty great that one time. Pleasant memory
