Something I've noticed about my very frequent "me time" excursions is that when you're by your self, people are so different to you. Like in a good way, especially old people. Like when I'm with friends and I go to a cafe we keep to ourselves but when I go alone, I'll have a great convo with the cafe owner. I feel like it really helps your confidence to talk to random people (when you feel safe to do so) and forge these really unique human connections

[@kayenjee]

That's so true! I've had similar experiences, but never thought about it until I read your comment.

[@hannahn7375]

So true

[@leahdelpezzo1364]

Thank you so much for this video Nyma! I just broke up with my boyfriend and this reminded me that I don’t need anyone else to enjoy myself. It’s official now, I’m going out by myself this weekend. 🎉💕

[@NymaTang]

No you don’t!! Enjoy you special time this weekend 💕

[@CoverGirlNay]

I’ve been out by myself twice for Valentine’s Day. My husband was deployed, and I really didn’t want to stay in, so I treated myself to dinner and a movie. It was very chill.

[@kayenjee]

Thank you and your family for your service ✌🏼

[@jnina913]

I’ve gone to a Beyoncé concert by myself. It was the best! At first it may seem weird, but then you just make friends with people who are near you. And you already know that you have something to a common.

[@Liimoncello]

I went to Wizkid’s USA tour alone just this past weekend after no one wanted to go. I almost didn’t go and bought my ticket 2 hours before the show. I’m glad I did though! I met some great people and we kept each other company and enjoyed the show. It’s nerve-wrecking at first but you can’t always depend on people to go to events or else you’ll never go! I have so many incredible solo experiences traveling around the world because I don’t wait on people’s decisions. I just go!

[@SudoChic]

Same! I remember my first ever solo concert I thought I would look so dumb being alone. There are so many solo concert goers though! I meet great people each time. P.S. the Wizkid concert was phone he had the whole place up!

[@sagittariusblu5701]

If you have to go out alone, take a whistle because you can blow it and bring attention to yourself if something happens.

When I went to Paris with a couple of friends and I really wanted to go to museums and the others didn’t I went by my self. It was such a good day! So after that I’ve tried to join activities alone and it is a really good way to fall in love with yourself.

[@MsNinahhh]

I am a big fan on going out alone and spending time by myself. While I am married, my husband and I value our personal time and we both like to have time to ourselves.

[@FunKREations27]

I've always been someone that doesn't mind doing things alone. I've been that way since I was small. The cool thing is I truly love people and have many friends. I think when it comes down to it.. to doing things alone is confidence. You have to come to a point of just being solo every once in while. It doesn't hurt. Love ya, Sis😘

[@tinaskeen5841]

I love taking myself out! I can be very introverted or feel like my social battery is low, so going on a date with only myself is the perfect way for me to decompress. I love to go to dinner, visit a museum, shop, and I’ve even gone to a Brockhampton concert by myself.

[@nancykerrigan]

You know what that reminds me i need to visit a museum. I haven't done so in a minute.

[@SoaringSpear]

not a safety tip, but if you are just starting going out alone, affirm yourself and try not to have a bad attitude about it! it can be fun and you can learn more of what you like, so give yourself that space

[@BuffyNoir140]

Take some pepper spray too

[@whitneyst.claire]

Going out to eat or watch a movie on your own is amazing! I only started doing it in my 30s and wished I had started sooner!

[@thegadflysnemesis4102]

I love going out alone! I suppose I started when I would wander off in museums and gardens whenever my family were on a vacation together, but I absolutely adore being able to do my own thing with zero consideration for anyone else. It's wonderfully freeing to just fully immerse yourself in the thing you are doing with zero need to carry a conversation during it. My main safety habit is that if I feel worried, I'll grip my largest key in my fist. Not between my fingers like claws, but with the key sticking out of the little-finger side of my closed fist, ready to slam into someone if need be. I've never needed to use it, thankfully, but it is the more powerful way to use one's keys as a weapon as the key is more securely held that way.

[@elainebines6803]

She’s back finally where have you been girl? Missed you glad you are posting. Happy Sunday thx for sharing

[@aadtie5633]

I am 28 and have been going out alone for the past decade. I go by the lake, watch sunsets, just take a ride around the city, have lunch, some tea, street food, dinner, BBQ, and even watch movies all by myself.. I love it. Also I make it a point to never be on my phone when I am alone.. no internet surfing. I just observe and absorb. Just enjoy.

[@MyNOLADarling]

I've been venturing out on solo excursions for decades and I absolutely love it. Going places alone gives me a chances to navigate the world at my own pace and engage with everyone I meet. One of the things that has made me more comfortable going out alone is having a "road dog" (the four-legged kind). Having a dog makes you a less desirable target while making you more approachable for casual interactions.

[@alicia2713]

I love going out by myself. I did it all last week. I started doing it a few years ago. My favorite thing to do is try a coffee shop I've never been to before. It allows me to take a book with me or my journal to write what's on my mind. I've also gone to a couple bars to enjoy myself by watching the football games or talking with the bartender. I bought myself a pocket knife to defend myself, and my keys have a plastic tool on them to put two fingers through and the ends are pointy in the case I can't get to my knife in time. I grew up being hyper aware of my surroundings, because most of my dad's family works in law enforcement. Then, I used to work in downtown Portland and would commute by bus. I listen to music almost all the time when I'm out while still being hyper aware.

[@MandyT87]

Two dots is so addictive! I needed this video as a reminder to get back into going out alone. My big goal is to go to a BTS concert. Plus side of attending a concert alone, you BOUND to get a good seat because there's always a random gap between couples/groups that sit together lol. Same with cinema seats. Hopefully I get to challenge myself to one day.

[@berthekabwe871]

This video just popped up right when I am at the restaurant dining solo by choice. Yes, ladies I used to be so terrified going out solo but since I moved to a different city and haven't made tons of friends...I started going out solo when I feel like it. I sit by the Bar area and I will order a nice meal and a drink. It's not bad and nobody really cares if you are there alone. It's also an opportunity to meet a guy if you are single😉

[@katesantell6719]

Love this video idea!

[@oyomapedro]

Oh my goodness Nyma thank you for this, I really need this, trying to enjoy going out alone, it hasn't been easy, the confidence of doing things like this alone is hard to get back after a relationship 😪

[@sounique2003]

I agree with your tips. I do the same except for checking the trunk. Check under the car as well as you're approaching the vehicle. I have social anxiety as well and I feel weird/awkward when it comes to talking to people. Smh. Lord help me. Lol

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Love this, I think can be a power move to go out by yourself! I actually prefer to go to concerts by myself, so I can go full on dorky fan girl without any interruptions! The only time it can be a little sketch is going to bars alone, just because some people make assumptions that you are there with the sole goal of hooking up, but I have done it before, and wish it was more normalized.

[@mon6745]

Nyma coming through with the good pointers!!!!! One thing I always do is make sure my locks are set to open drivers side only, and I love the pointer of checking your car before you get in 💛. After Twitter this week, I'm sure a lot of people are extra nervous about being safe when you're alone... I think awareness is the biggest thing.

[@nancykerrigan]

What happened on Twitter?

[@mon6745]

@@nancykerrigan A woman was staying at a hotel in DC and some guy tried to break into her room when she was in the shower 😠. *with a key* that she didn't give anyone because she checked in alone. She happened to put the door stop on and managed to force the door closed, but the hotel was on some b.s. talking about it was housekeeping 🙄. Its a frightening story, and it was extra creepy because clearly the employees were in on it. Cambria or something in DC? So crazy. Luckily, she's safe but that is so traumatizing andnwhi knows how many other people they've done it too 🤷🏾‍♀️

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for talking about this toppic. For some of us going out alone is something very awkward and can even cause anxiety, but you made it look like it's totally ok to have those feelings. I think the way you and your partner work arround this things is such a healthy example. I'm from a very small town in Argentina so scuse my poor english 😅

[@nadia.pignataro]

And btw i've attended to rock concerts and classical music concerts by myself, quiet concerts are better to go on your own because you're sitting in the dark and nobody is watching you, while rock concerts are a little bit more scary cause as you said you are moving and dancing on your own... that can be awkward, but you can also meet new people and make friends... maybe

[@brittk.]

I enjoy going out on my own. Just did my first lonesome getaway and it was amazing!

[@CarolTichie]

You look so gorgeous Nyma and awesome tips. I have gone on a solo vacay and I am never open with my room number. It's OK to meet people in the common area but don't expose your actual room number. Learnt that from my older sister.

[@bajanbreezy]

One of the biggest things I don't do or limit is going out once it is dark. If I want to do anything by myself I go during the day and be home by sundown and just wait till following day if need be to avoid being in dark. I also will do takeout and dinner at home as much as I can. I refuse to go to concerts on my own or travel outside of the state. We missed you on KZbin Nyma Tang.

I'm telling all my business, but when I'm on vacation, I've always got money cash USD pinned somewhere in my clothes... bra, panty (thank grandma) so if the bag goes, it goes. I also don't carry wallets geared to women, usually a bill fold type thing. I like it because they are small enough to stash in a back pocket, or bra lol😅. Also, ladies, if you're wearing a bra or bracelet that has those removable pads sonyou don't poke through, its a great place to safety pin some money 🤷🏾‍♀️ stay safe

I enjoying if u waiting on people u never get no where

[@jessjess101923]

I've gone to many concerts by myself, and I never even thought twice about the fear of going alone, because I really wanted to see the artist that was performing! If friends didn't want to come with me I wouldn't stop myself from having an amazing musical experience. I think if you think about it this way it can be way less nerve wrecking. Also, everyone is in the same boat as you and they just want to experience the show like you. I went to see Rihanna by myself in 2016, and the girl I ended up sitting next to went to the concert by herself as well! Her and I chatted and got to know each other before the show, and bonded over our love for Rihanna. We were so comfortable with each other than we ended up splitting a few drinks (safely with our own cups since stadium prices are no joke), laugh, cried, and joked through the entire thing. My tips for going to a concert alone: 1. If it's assigned seating, don't show up until the main act if you don't care about the opening act! You know your seat will be waiting for you, so don't feel pressured to show up early and sit around and be awkward when you only came for the main act. 2. If it's general admission, and you're not overly obsessed with the act, stay towards the back and just vibe. You can always find people dancing and singing by themselves or with a partner and everyone is so lost in the music it legit doesn't matter.

[@jessey141]

I do a lot of things alone. Since I was a child, I enjoy being around people but for only a short period of time 😂. Plus I lived in south africa for 12 yrs. That country made me become a safety "expert" from my early teen years. You were to be attacted on daily basis. I think that's where I practised running and carrying anything that could use to protect myself (but a gun). Now living in Ireland is just the complete opposite, but I'm still careful. My hubby is just the opposite

[@Pollenoverponds]

Mace can be difficult to use. It doesn’t always work on other people, some people it just doesn’t effect. But it’s easy to spray yourself accidentally, especially in small spaces like a car or inside a room. It can be super helpful to read about mace before you carry it!
