Booked a ticket to go to a gig, none of my friends really share my music taste, so I'm going on my own.
I've just been called weird for going on my one, which I think is rather unfair, I'm weird for many reasons but I don't think this is one.
Is it weird?

No! Not weird at all! Apart from anything else when you're at a gig no-one gives a shit. I bought a ticket to see Deacon Blue last year on my own. I was ill on the day so didn't go but had I not been ill I was there on my own singing word for word!! 
Go and enjoy!! |

Good to know, thanks.
I didn't think it was weird, I've done it before, I go on my own so I don't have to drag anyone else along with me who won't enjoy it. Plus I can enjoy it fully myself.
It just threw me off a little to be called weird for that. |

Not at all. I go and do stuff alone all the time. Cinemas, gigs, meal. Would happily go on holiday or to a festival alone. Probably have a better time as you end up chatting to randoms and joining other groups.

Not strange at all. I've done it for years. Met a great number of wonderful people this way - probably wouldn't have met them at all if I had been with someone else. |

I do this all the time. Moobs ain't really bothered about the music I like and also we struggle for babysitting so I just go alone. It's only youngsters who think it's weird lol. I would rather go alone than miss out xx |

I have that problem, all my friends are in relationships or married, I don't mind doing things on my own, it's just I thought being called weird was a bit harsh |

Usually make new friends at gigs etc

That was my hope, I can go and meet people there who obviously do like similar music |

Been to gigs on my own, have done Glastonbury on my own and met up with mates rather than do the whole camping in a crowd thing, been trekking in Thailand on my own. I don't see it as weird |

I do quite a few things on my own because no one I know likes what I do, certainly not music. They'd rather be in the pub than at a poetry event or acoustic gig |

I loves her, possibly in part because she's ginger. |

Nothing weird about that, Ive attended alot of gigs on my own, even at Glastonbury I tend to separate from the rest of my group of mates as they would usually goto the main stages where as I like to discover new bands on the smaller stages and tents. |

Not weird at all! I've been abroad on holiday on my own and often go to bars or the cinema alone too. I'm great company for myself
Hope you have a fantastic time |

Nothing weird about it at all! All of my mum friends, including me go to the cinema, gigs, shows etc. by ourselves. Everyone isn't available all the time, especially with offspring. Don't make the few who don't have the confidence to do anything alone, make you feel less of a "normal" person for doing so. |

Definitely not weird. Only insecure people feel the need to hang with a crowd all the time. I've been to gigs on my own, been to restaurants on my own, even been on holiday on my own. I usually get chatting with interesting people who I would otherwise not have met. Had a great shag after striking up a conversation at a gig |

Everything's weird to idiots.
Hope you have a great time at the gig. |
