Everyone is hating on him for being a sadboi and that this is a tribute to his ex. Getting out of a 3 year relationship is tough, and for him to go to a festival on his own(which he usually went to with his ex) is an amazing first step to jump out of his comfort zone and move on. Good job man, loved this video

[@katief7047]

I’m an introvert and I go to festivals/raves by myself all the time. Some of the best times I’ve had in my entire life. Going by yourself forces you to interact and meet other people and that’s something that an introvert is not very good at. But trust me when you’re by yourself it’s really not as bad as it seems. Whoever thinks it’s weird or judges it has obviously never tried before so they really shouldn’t even be speaking on it.

There is a difference from being shy and being and introvert. Introverts aren’t necessarily shy, they just don’t enjoy socializing. Shy people are afraid of socializing. An introvert can be good at socializing, but just not like it.

[@candysweet434]

Mark Bounty you’re absolutely wrong. introverts can be social and enjoy talking to people. you’re thinking about someone who is asocial. being introverted means you gain energy from being alone rather than with people.

[@imposterchild5688]

After breaking up with my first boyfriend i felt like i had become so codependent and only could go places i personally liked if he or other friends would join me. After noticing how much i had lost myself within a year i decided i needed to fall in love with solitude again and stop missing out on my favorite events and concerts just because no one wants to come with me anymore. The first concert i went to i got drunk because i was so anxious and felt like everyone could see me alone at a social event but frankly i think they didn‘t even care. At some point i even talked to like two new people and those small experiences made me feel so confident and less codependent. That was my first concert i went to just to see a random band that was in town for free as a sort of warm up for the mitski concert i wanted to see alone later that month. I went to the smaller event first and after that my stomach didn‘t hurt when i thought of seeing mitski on my own. Sometimes you forget that you live your life for yourself when you are in a romantic relationship. After losing yourself or forgetting how to be your truest self and getting used to someone being around constantly and sharing experiences with you, which all definitely happens when you spend a bunch of time with one person, losing them puts you in the weirdest and loneliest place. This is such a great video and i love seeing how you challenge yourself. People stop listening to songs they shared with an ex or stop visiting places they used to visit with them after they break up. But why? This is way more rebellious and healthy. I love how you dared to share this on the internet, even the version that is lonely in the hotel room feeling awful for themself. Keep growing and keep dancing to music that makes you happy. when you are alone you deserve those moments the most.
