Why are normies so terrified of seeing a movie alone?

Incapability of thinking ahead and realizing anything that paints them in a "bad" light will be forgotten about in less than a week

>>212050660 (OP)
I guess because they don't want to be shamed to two million people online, retard.

>>212050660 (OP)
people disappear in movie theaters

Pretty sure Tiktok likes are the fakest type of updoots ever, bots after bots

It's just insecurity that stems from childhood where being perceived as friendless was shameful.

By the time most men hit 30 they grow out of this infantile insecurity and come to the realization that you can't just sit around and wait for other people to live your life for you. Sometimes you have to go out there and do things by yourself as to not let life pass you by, and by doing this you learn to be comfortable with yourself and not giving two fucks about what some insecure strangers might think about you

They don't actually like going to the movies.

Should be illegal to do that to people in the first place.

You missed the point. Having friends is very important to have a good life, but you are an insecure child who needs his hand held to do anything in life. Grow up

Is it? I can't remember a single time I've cared about making friends. I tried it once. They wanted me to go places I didn't want to go and do things I didn't want to do. I hated it.

true. but it still hurts not having friends.

None of my friends want to go to a movie theater in the first place.
They'd rather play video games or get drunk.
If I want to see a movie I don't have a choice.

I see movies by myself all the time and only recently discovered no one else does this

Solo traveling is the best antidote for this

>>212050660 (OP)
because it's stupid. the only reason to go to a cinema is for the 'social' aspect or whatever you wanna call it. it's overpriced, your seat might be shit, there might be babies or teenagers on phones or blacks hootin' and hollerin'. people on phones, cucumbers on the floor, it's a crap shoot. why do you think they sell popcorn? who the fuck eats during a film? you can only hear yourself chewing. think of it like this, if you were a trainspotter, you wouldn't cram yourself into the London underground in e midday summer with the unwashed masses to appreciate a train would you?

the whole 'point' of the cinema experience in 2025 is to make heckin chicken jockey memes or le barbenheimer or whatever normie shit is FOTM. but it's always been like this, your meant to watch slop while shovelling your fce full of junk. it's for pop culture moments however shit those are now. if you want to see an actual kino you do it in your own home.

>>212050810
100% agree. there is no way tiktok isn't full of bots. creators there can have literal millions of followers but for some reason their instagram/twitter/youtube doesn't even have 20% of the same engagement

Sounds like you just watch a lot of goyslop. Everything you said only really applies to shit like marvel, where the theater is always packed with retards. Find yourself some less normalfag shit to watch, you'll notice that the theater niggetry suddenly ceases being an issue.

>>212050835
Most successful people don't have real friends. More like colleagues. Friends in childhood are a completely different since you're not bound by adult bullshit. Once you get out of school everything changes.

>>212050722
Employers don't always understand that though

>>212051267
I disagree with your opinion and resent your jaded, bitter take.

The size and sound are the main reason to go. I'm sorry that wherever you live the place is overrun with people without manners, but I live in a civilized part of the world where I've never experienced what you suggest has ruined the moviegoing experience for you.
And your 'le heckin' language is cringe to the max. I know you think it reflects on what you're using it with, but no, it just makes YOU look cringe.
You need to change your attitude. But I suppose if that were possible you wouldn't be here chudding the place up.

I solo travel a lot because my friends can only afford 1-2 trips per year. Since 2-3 weeks by myself gets lonely I always make a few temporary travel friends to scratch the social itch. Like 90% of normies I talk to really want to try it but the idea of total independence in an unknown place terrifies them

>>212050660 (OP)
I've been to the movies alone dozens of time, usually during off hours. It was a great way to relax, and honestly i never really cared about it. I don't do it anymore because most films are trash.
But there was this one time when i was getting tickets and noticed a pretty group of people who were probably 3-4 years younger than me buying tickets to the same movie and i bailed, didn't really want to be there with them.

>>212051610
Bruh, you’re a grown "man" too scared to do anything alone. You and friendless incels belong to the same pile

>>212051610
This sums up the point of the thread. It's fucking anonymous and yet you people act like every story is suspect.
>you're just pretending to have friends

I can tell the difference between bullshit confidence and the truth. Just telling anons in the thread that they should have confidence and not bow to social media "risks" is not some sign that a guy is a foreveralone virgin with no friends. That doesn't make any sense. The arguments on this board don't often make sense. No one can tell when to take things at face value and everyone insists on throwing unfitting insults in the opposite direction. I'm getting so fucking sick of this place yet 15 years later I'm still here while the populace grows younger, dumber, and more extremist. And a lot of people believe we're contending with 'bots' now too.
Fuck this gay place.

why the fuck would you want to watch another movie with another person. a) people are dumb as dog shit, you might as well go with a cat or a dog who get mesmerised by the moving pictures and b) it's not like you can talk to them anyway

>>212051396

>>212051435
I am a bitter cunt but you sound like a retard. first of all, you're basically watching a DVD being projected onto the screen. second, the acoustics of the room are irrelevant when you have people shuffling all around you. also modern films sound mixing and colour correction is adjusted for consumer grade televisions. you can larp as a cinephile all day but if you're going to a regular cinema it's a garbage experience. what a dumb hill to die on
>but it COULD be good!
but it's not

divest yourself of all shame and you will walk as a god among men

they have no real power over you

If you only cared about the movie you’d watch it at home

People go to the cinema as a social event

It's a fun experience for the sake of it. Not even for the social aspect, packed theaters are shit. It's like saying nightwalks are pointless because you can just walk circles in your room.

I was indifferent to people watching movies alone
now that zoomers don't get it, I fully support watching movies alone and I applaud such movie-goers

>I haven't been to the kinoplex in 15 years m8
Same argument still applies

Went to the beach alone last year for the first time and felt like a fucking loser (friends flew home a few days before me). On two separate days I was chatted up by women who were alone on sunbeds close to mine. Spilled spaghetti on the first one but ended up smashing the other later that night.

Going to try going alone a few times this summer even if I dont have to.

>>212050887
But what if my DnD friends and my video game friends don't like to go see movies and I only have one friend who likes to do that and he can't always? What's wrong with going on my own?

>>212051800
Nah. You're forgetting that events aren't isolated and they echo. If I go to the cinema with friends, then I associate the cinema with the positive experience of going with friends, so then this rubs off on the whole experience and it still has a magic to it when I go on my own.

I can't even remember the last time I went to the movies to watch something I actually looked forward to, never mind something that actually lived up to the hype.
It's been at least 15 years.
I got dragged there a bunch of times in recent years to watch Scorsese flicks, Deadpool, etc and they've all been mediocre as hell AND cost a ton.

>>212052118
kill yourself (you illiterate faggot zoomer)

I don't know where people get this idea from. I just checked F1 at my local Britbong kinoplex and the next three screenings all have at least one solo booking. I saw 28YL alone last week and thought nothing of it.
If there's a movie you want to see and you don't have anyone else who wants to see it, why would you let yourself miss out?

>>212052118
Have you not got to that point in school yet? Don't worry, they're not as scary and confusing as they may seem (they're good for context).

I used to always go with the boys from 14-30. Then one by one the boys stopped being the boys. Now I'm 38 and my wife goes with me to the movies once a month.

I miss having friends, sigh.

Normies can't do anything alone.

in 2017 I went to see Bladerunner 2049 in theatres alone when I was on vacation in australia during a thunderstorm, so nothing to do

best movie experience of my entire life. Ever since then Ive insisted on going alone for any big movie I want to see badly and I go at obscure times to get the theater virtually empty.

I go alone all the time

>>212051426
This is why I'm still only friends with the people I grew up with. Its a bond that can't be replicated later in life

When I mentioned I went to the cinema on my own the next week I lost my job citing total bs as the reason.

i haven't had a friend before, but i also don't go out. i would never go to the movie theatre when i can just sit on my couch cuddling my dog, eating my own food.

>>212051193
The older I grow the more appealing does travelling alone seem

>>212053003
sounds like you should take legal action. but also, you do do have to avoid as much talk in the workplace as possible, if you aren't a complete normie.

when you can't avoid it, just give a very vague answer. it means you aren't outright lying, but they can't persecute you for standing out either.

>>212053003
Hopefully they keep a patrol car posted nearby for the foreseeable future, we all know how you guys can get.

>>212053003
i told my coworkers i have epic depression and anxiety and autism, and they leave me alone. the thing is its also true too. its just not something i'd ever usually tell anybody. but if they try fucking with me, thats officially harassment. its unfortunately necessary, because people will take every little thing as a personal attack. if you fail to say hello to them one day, they will hold a grudge and try to get you fired. insane but true.

I go alone because most of my friends are illiterate when it comes to movies so there's nothing interesting to talk about or watch with them. And I have a movie pass so I am not waiting on anyone. I like the idea of chugging down my snacks and then getting food later without other people being indecisive and then coming home to say whether the movie is based or cringe on 4channel.org.

>>212051207
Not really it lives to people quit caring. It's only forever when it is passed generationally like Chris Chan. This data has to be stored somewhere and hard drives decay. A lot of what I once knew to be the internet no longer exists and is not archived it's why people now are so obsessed with it they're fighting entropy, but all things age. Example reply girls once hated, but most people don't even know YouTube had a video reply feature once or that it has star ratings. That is surface level shit. If it wasn't for Joshua Moon being a leech who makes a career off finding new retards most lulcow shit would be YouTube videos with 35 views. I still find tons of channels like that some autistic who has uploaded everyday for years there's tons of them no one gives a shit until there is a reason entertainment financial etc and when that goes away so does the archival of it. God is dead when no one believes

>>212053045
#1 is traveling with friends where you split up during the day and meet up at night for dinner/drinks.
#2 is solo traveling where the impending lonely nights forces you to go out and make new friends.

Traveling with anyone, wife or best friend, while attached at the hip 24/7 always gets tiresome for both parties

>>212052806
I spent my entire life going to the movies with other people. If I don't have friends then I'm just going to watch it at home on my 95 inch tv. I'm not lowering myself to either eating alone or watching movies alone in public.

Its the same as seeing someone in public playing a Switch, it's just pathetic.

>>212053122
yeah most adults are children, everyone who's been around knows this. it's why you should try to find a wife who's at least tolerable and stick with her whenever you can, she may be retarded but at least she's your retard

I don’t use TikTok so maybe I’m have no idea what I’m talking about. But the high view/like numbers are just from doom scrolling, takes 1 second to hit the button.

I told a coworker I was going to the movies alone and I got stabbed in the ribs. Got fired during recovery and got discharged way too early. Everyone in the hospital pretended that I was trespassing and I got dragged into a truck and was driven for like five hours into the middle of nowhere. Two guys dragged me out, stapled a piece of paper that said "SEXLESS FAGGOT" to my back and left me to wonder into a gas station where I had to call my parents. Parents got me that night and didn't say anything to me or each other. Just stared forward blankly. They act like robots now, it's fucking bizarre. I reported everything to the cops and have confided in all of my friends. No one believes me. Please help me

Being friendless when you're 20 is not the same as being friendless when you're 70+.

Look at the woman in OP. She's old as hell.
I'm nearly 40 and I can already tell you that most of my friendships have drifted apart near to nothingness. People get married, have kids, people fall into their work and stop talking. Your friendships become "just touching base" and eventually they just disintegrate entirely.

This lady's friends are probably all dead, or live hundreds of miles away. She's probably a very lonely elderly person, ignored by her children, neglected and left on her own. Probably a widower.
Zoomers have no idea what it's like to get old and they have no sympathy for the elderly. But they'll learn as their parents get old and their grandparents die, the same as we learned going into our 30s and 40s.
Life is hard and it just gets harder.

I go to bars and restaurants alone all the time (although mainly for my lunch break) it’s how I’ve made most of my friends in the new city I moved to. Haven’t done the kinoplex by myself as there hasn’t been a good film I’ve been excited about for a while. Maybe I should see new CruiseKino

Yeah I work in healthcare and it’s heartbreaking how many old people are totally alone. They don’t know how to take their medicine. They have no transportation to the doctor or pharmacy. Many of them are hooked on painkillers. They can’t remember to keep appointments. Every day I have people in their eighties screaming at me for any assistance I can offer.

I was thinking about this after visiting my dementia ridden grandfather. The whole place was filled with screaming old people and staff who didn't speak a lick of English just standing there with blank faces. They probably got dumped there and never got a visitor. I have a lot of problems with my Dad, but I'm not gonna abandon him if he ever needs to be put into an eldercare home. It was a fucking nightmare.

I don’t hate my parents, I’m just capable of conceiving why people would hate or even just ignore theirs, as I’m able to comprehend life experiences other than mine exist

nobody goes to movie theaters anymore so this isn't even a thing nowadays

>>212055384
Worst place I ever went to was a place filled with dementia patients. I think I was 17 and my grandpa was full on demented. My mom wanted us to go give him a final visit but it would have been better if we didn't. He was incoherent and frail, like you said the other patients just screamed in confusion. I saw an old man crying in bed with a massive black eye saying he just wanted an orange.
Just shoot me at that point, roll me off a cliff.

Does it? So many things from even just 5 years ago seem impossible to find. Whether the search engines have gotten worse or the subjects deployed legal teams to scrub the internet I can't say, but we are genuinely one of the few places that remembers everything.

Stop living in the hood. And go a place where you can reserve seats, does anyone even do open seating anymore?

autist here. When I see people recording people like this I purposely go up to them and give them shit for doing it as I have the type of autism that makes me feel no social shame so them trying to make fun of me then for butting in them making fun of someone else would mean nothing to me.

He's just retired and gives zero fucks and does what he wants and people think he's sad and poor or something.

Does that mean when there are two alone people in the theater there is an unspoken rule where they have to have a standoff, but instead of pulling guns on each other, it's about who pulls his phone first and takes a picture of the other dude and posts it on reddit?

>>212051207
Does it, in a way that actually impacts you? It's technically out there forever, in that it will most likely always exist in some server for as long as the internet exists, but something as ephemeral as a tiktok video basically evaporates from the public consciousness in a matter of days.

The reality of making friends is that it tends to occur from forced familiarity. People make friends in school because everybody is forced to be around one another for years. Once that forced familiarity ends is when people begin to drift apart.
You would think then that entering the workforce would replace the environment that school created, but this turns out to be false for various reasons. The largest one, in my opinion, being that during school everybody is of a similar age going through an identical stage of life. Once a man gets a job, there's no guaranteed similarity between his coworkers, who can be of any age and going through any number of life situations.
Friendships require a sort of commonality to form in most cases, either from common problems or common interests, and thus making friends as an adult requires a greater deal of luck or a greater deal of effort to find

This faggot reminds me of the guy a couple years back who wrote a thesis on why cuckoldry and unfettered immigration are Good Things and then KOd himself on a park bench while running away from a knife-wielding nigger that proceeded to murder him.

I've never seen a movie alone. Not because it's socially awkward or because I'm afraid to go alone.

But because movies aren't good enough to entice me to go to the fucking cinema to see something. I'm only going as a social experience with a group of friends or on a date.

Not much point seeing a movie with a friend, let alone as a date. Can't talk or interact. Can only talk afterwards and there's not much to discuss anyways. Having people over and watching shitty movies where you can actively make fun of it is way more enjoyable, not to mention cheaper.

The site deliberately inculcates a desire to stand out via fitting in through aggressive affirmative conformity to the hivemind. Any post which shocks or offends or challenges gets buried. To be noticed on Reddit, you have to rephrase the zeitgeist in the most clever way possible, a zeitgeist defined by authority figures like mods and administrators.

It's the first site to ever discover how to make conformity seem cooler than dissent.

Hence they'll see aberrant behavior, no matter how harmless, as something psychologically unsettling or an opportunity to virtue signal.

One time I went to go see Elvis and The Black Phone on the same day. An old lady sat next to me for the former and a cute chick for the latter (I was alone for both). I chatted with the old lady and somehow ending up holding her hand for a brief moment when she started sobbing and then later the QT grabbed my arm when she got spooked (I think she was trying to get her drink). That was about 3 years ago and I haven't touched another person since.
