Has anyone ever been to the cinema solo?

Over 8 million people live alone in the UK, something like 30% of all households.

Many people are out on their own. If you watch cars on the road you'll notice most have only 1 person in them.
People go to the shops, gym, coffee shop alone, also museums, art galleries, etc. Are there are holiday companies single people.

Many people on business trips travel alone, either sales people in the UK or for foreign trips. They then stay in hotels on their own and go out to restaurants, bars or sightseeing alone.

The point is that doing things alone is not that unusual. You tend to notice people in groups or families and miss the other people.
Nobody will judge you or think you are an idiot and most will not even notice. It is not that unusual for people to go to the cinema alone, especially if you like non-mainstream films.

If you want to do something, then go and do it and don't hold yourself back. You may feel feel self conscious, but really it's fine.

Please go and see the film and report back on how it went.
You may feel tired when you get back, but you will feel a sense of achievement and proud of yourself if you do, which will help build confidence for next time.

If you like the cinema, there are memberships so you can go and see as many films as you like, including obscure ones and multiple screenings so you can see things more than once, all for a monthly fee. If you can do it multiple times, the fear of the unknown will go and it will feel safer.

If you are worried about sitting there looking lost before it starts, take a phone and play game on it or read things, or take a magazine to look at. Other people will often be looking at their phones scrolling through social media.

You will just blend in, won't have to look at anyone, will look occupied so other people will leave you alone and can distract yourself.

But most people are probably not dealing with this https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/premenstrual-dysphoric-disorder-pmdd/symptoms-of-pmdd/ and I am right now. There’s very limited time for me to see the film so unfortunately I can’t wait another couple of weeks for example because it won’t be showing then. This disorder above everything else, makes life unbearable.
