Do you do things on your own?

I wanted to visit certain places in Europe on a backpack trip while my friends wanted to go other places.


That is really cool! I wish I would have the time to do that!



Yes, it was very cool. I met ALOT of interesting people. And since I was by myself, I had to learn little bits of the languages so I could talk. If you ever get the chance, do not hesitate. And either go alone or keep the group small. If you go alone, you get to do all the stuff YOU want to do and miss all the crap you don't care about.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

You're silly! No, I obviously meant that I took one lesson by myself when I first began



Oh Rosa i knew you were talking about the class...that is easy to go alone to.

and yes you can go bouldering alone....but was just being silly.

I did find out however that the gym down the street has auto-belayers...so as soon as my back is better, i can go play a lil bit :D

Good for you! Every boogie that I have ever attended, I have gone by myself beginning when I had about fifty jumps or so. Sometimes, I don't even know anyone there. It is a great way to meet new people to jump with and a way to not have bias against certain groups because you are there to meet everyone and make your own decisions.

Btw, hope to meet you, Adrock!



Thanks, Rosa! I completely agree with you.

I remember this girl who called the DZ on her birthday and just decided she wanted to jump. Nobody came with her. She had a blast. I kind of wish she would have come back, she was really fun.

So, do you do things on your own? Do you feel weird about it? I've done lots of things on my own, and I don't really think about it (until someone's shocked about it.)



When I bought my house two years ago, my real estate agent said "Good for you for not waiting for a man to buy a house." I was shocked that people even think that way in this day and age - I waited till I was ready to buy a house, but it had nothing to do with waiting for a man!

I do a lot of things alone and lately I've started even more. I agree that it forces you to be a little more outgoing and to try to connect with other people more, but you can also meet some cool people that way. I started skydiving alone (and in fact didn't even tell any of my friends I was going when I did my FJC) and also did my two scuba certification classes by myself. When I learned to snowboard, I'd ride up with friends sometimes, sometimes by myself, but always go off into a class by myself since my friends were more experienced than me. No problem at all going up alone, either.

Sometimes, it's just too much effort to spend the time organizing a bunch of people (and with a lot of my friends, unless I do the organizing and nagging, stuff doesn't happen. One other thing I've done lately is I'll sign up for something and say "This is when I'm doing X... sign up if you wanna come with." Sometimes I get people sometimes I don't.

*I went to take my first tandem jump alone.

*I go on my CRW trips alone. Longest drive was to Gardiner, NY (The Ranch) and it was 15 hours.

*I camp out alone at these same CRW camps.

*I love to eat alone and read a book.

*I shop alone.

*I work out at the gym alone.


I don't consider myself a loner. In fact, I am a very outgoing person. I have friends, I just choose to do some things by myself. Call it me time, if you will.

But, think about it, when you go out to a movie or dinner with other people, how often do you actually notice or pay mind to people that are there alone?



Exactly why I wonder how it became common to take a date to a movie. Asking them out on a date is essentially saying you want to spend some time with them. Taking them to a movie means you want to spend that time ignoring them. :S
