I don't have any friends to take to the cinema

For my birthday my cousin got me 2 tickets to see Fantstic Beasts for my birthday but I have no one to take, I have no friends. I kind of have a friend online who I meet every now and again and I asked them but they said they will be working and probably won't be able to take the time off.

It's like 2 weeks away and I feel so embarrassed that I don't have anyone to take. My little brother has already said he doesn't want to go and I don't want to seem like a loser to the family by trying to convince him to just come with me

So what do i do? I want to go see it but I really don't want to go alone on a Saturday. Also, is there anyone else who is in this position and has no friends

No I've left uni a few months ago and even there I only had one friend but now that I've left I've not talked to her. She stayed on for another year and has already made new friends.

I work just now but I would never go out with the people I work with. Theyre a bit older than me and I don't really know them well because I only work about 16 hours week

I've been to the cinema alone before several times and there's no shame in doing so; you don't have to take someone with you. If you really enjoy it then you should go yourself :smile:

Very few people will actually notice/care that you're there alone, as they'll be thinking entirely about themselves normally.

I'm 21 so going with a parent seems even more embarrassing. I don't want to go with family anyway because I feel so embarrassed. Think I'd rather go on my own than with my cousin who will then release I have no pals

I've been a couple of times to the cinema alone but that was during quiet times like 2pm on a Thursday. I just feel like because its on a Saturday more people will be out with their friends and it will make me feel even more down about being alone

I try to make friends, especially recently but I suffer from mild depression which results in me sometimes sitting alone because I just feel down a lot. I have tried but I just never seem to make friends that I can go places with and hang out

I was in your exact position a few weeks ago when I really wanted to see Miss Peregrines Home for peculiar children. I had read the book and everything, and then I realised I had no one to take. One of my friends was at uni, the other one was busy and one made 1001 excuses so I was like **** you, I'll go alone. My little brother refused to come with me and I refused to drag along an ungrateful brat.

In the end I ended up meeting my online friend (who is now my real life friend XD) and we went but I honestly would have gone alone. Why should you miss out on fun because you don't have any one to go with?

People will always let you down which is why I suggest you definitely go and watch the film. Also it may help a lot with your confidence, and the cinema is dark anyway so no one cares who is watching what and who they came with!
