Will Going On Solo Dates Help My Anxiety?! It’s Time To Find Out!

[@CaraKönigsblau]

Thank you for taking us out with you :D, that town looks beautiful! I also love going to the museum alone, that silence is always great to escape the world for a few hours. I would recommend a little less camera movement when you want to show us buildings or landscape, it's easier to watch when you just stand and film one thing, then another, but I know it's a little more work to edit.

I do most things on my own and it's fine . I find going to the cinema or coffee shop are easier. Eating in a restaurant is harder for me but I can do it if I have to. Just remember that when you are on a solo date looking around and watch couples and groups of people. Nine times out of ten they are glued to their phones and not even talking to one another - crazy right? I have ADHD too

I use to be absolutely fine doing stuff on my own, my anxiety has just gotten so bad over the past few years. Time to try and get back to my old self. I have never been to the cinema alone before, I think that might be my next solo date.

I 100% agree, watching these situations makes me feel like I'm the only normal person. Even alone I wouldn't be on my phone outside or in a restaurant. It's so sad, like nobody can just enjoy or appreciate the moment anymore. The good thing for social anxiety is that it also feels like nobody sees you at all. But it's still creepy, I don't like what the world has become in the past 15-20 years.

I definitely wouldn’t be glued to my phone if I was out with other people, makes no sense why you would be out with people if you weren’t gonna talk to them.

​@@abitoflindsayvlogs Even my father who is 66 became such a person, I don't know if these people are just so addicted to to their phones or if it's just next level disrespect.

Lovely town❤.I do the same, also for cinemas or clubs...I should have bought a jar of tahini to eat with bread and jam or raisins for breakfast or snack😊.

Shrewsbury is a lovely town. I think next solo date might be a cinema date.

I think this is an awesome idea for you. I used to feel similarly about doing things solo, but it meant I rarely did what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. So, I started a similar project about 2 years ago. Now I PREFER going solo when doing most of my favorite things! It totally helps you have access to city fun. Might I make one unsolicited suggestion? Since you like to junk journal, perhaps start one dedicated to your solo adventures so you can look back and see your progress. I take pictures and then basically junk art journal my fun. I LOVE it and and anytime I am tempted to back out of my solo plan, it helps! Congratulations on 2 weeks not drinking!

Thank you so much. I love the unsolicited advice, I was obviously going to junk journal about my solo dates but having a separate journal for it hadn’t even crossed my mind! If I do that then that means buying a new journal which I am not sad about 😂
