I started doing stuff solo in 2017, but it was only a few moments cause I didn't have the confidence and at the time all my friends were in different states. By 2019, I was going to the cinemas by myself constantly because I either had no one around or the people I did just didn't have an interest in seeing some of these movies.
That feeling of being judged still exists sometimes even now, but you keep challenging it and reminding yourself you're not the only one doing it, and it's actually become more common I'd say.
When your anxiety hits you, just remember that it's okay to feel that way, but you deserve to enjoy yourself. So I hope you end up going and enjoy yourself if you can!
