As I become my own best friend I feel like going places alone and having fun, is this similar to your experience?
Yes
If I feel like going somewhere then I go, if I am alone makes no difference.
Restaurants, Bars, Cinema, Walks, Museums, Gallery's, Sailing, Shopping - the list is endless.
If you can have fun on your own that is a good thing.
I keep having people tell me how brave it is to go out alone, they would not dare to for fear of feeling uncomfortable. Quite amusing, but very true. Especially women.
There are quite a few things which I prefer to do alone, without company, sometimes someone else gets in the way.
