some part of the experience like telling the ticket seller u want
one ticket, or walking alone outside after the show or laughing
alone may make me feel awkward. sometimes, i even feel that i am so
pathetic that i am watching the show alone with no friends.
despite this, i see this awkwards moments as a challenge to myself
to really [b]live my own life, be myself and be a free
person.
i getting more and more used to watching movie alone now liao. the
benefit is that when you suddenly feel like watching a good movie
when u are around cinema, you can just go and enjoy it.
of course, u can also watch with your friends also. its a different
type of experience whether u are alone or with friends but usually,
people will feel uncomfortable watching alone.
this shows that human is a sensitive and conditioned person. the
last benefit of trying to overcome this uncomfortable experience is
that it give you a training session of learning how to face your
fear, to manage it rationally, to practise enduring and finally
come out a stronger person. you can then apply and try to spread
this knowledge in other aspects of life in career, relationship and
other things.

Well said, I second that.
Anyway I always watch movies alone too, partly is because single
and also the movies that you like your friends might not like to
watch too. And also I find that watching alone you get to enjoy the
movie or rather focus on the movie more because you don't have
anyone to talk to during the movie.
