Enjoyed your fresh perspective!! Getting out of our comfort zone always opens us up to new experiences & people & opportunities. I solo traveled in Europe this past summer and had a similarly marvelous tale to tell. Does the social anxiety become more manageable for you with time?

Soooo gooood !! every time I go out to a thing alone, it definitely helps if it’s an event where there’s more likely to be other like minded people lol. same on the extreme curiosity and noseyness and earnest interest in others 🙂‍↕️

I went to a Saint Motel concert alone once and felt more alive than I’ve ever felt. Going out alone is such a freeing experience.

I've had the same experience before an event where I've had to ask myself, do I go alone or skip? Every time I've gone solo, I gained something even if it wasn't a new potential friend. Breaking out of one's comfort zone and re-acquainting yourself with lost or forgotten social skills is sooooo important. Especially now as communities seem to dwindle.
