What are some fun things to do alone?

Some of the most satisfying activities I like to do alone can usually be done in the comfort of my apartment. I love being able to express my emotions through music, singing or dancing. Or through art like sketching or painting. I love to write as well and I find it really therapeutic. At night I like to find time to watch something like a movie I’ve never seen or haven’t watched in a while. Or listen to podcasts or read a book. Some people really enjoy cooking or baking. I find it can be enjoyable when you’re doing it for fun and not as something you feel obligated to do. Outside of the apartment I love to hike (great mindfulness activity) or take walks in general. Swimming is a very peaceful solo activity as well.

I try to do one thing alone per week that is fun. There are usually art galleries open if I don't have a lot of money. I also like to go to art museums and the movies. I haven't tried this yet but I would like to see a comedy show by myself soon. There's also improv classes, classes at community college you can take (that are fun!), Etc.

If you have the time/money, go take a class! Pure barre classes, yoga, dance classes are great even on your own and it’s a nice chance to chat and meet new friends if you’re feeling social. I go to museums or movies alone as a treat or I’ll go to a restaurant I’ve wanted to try- I live in NYC and this is actually pretty common so I don’t feel unsafe or self conscious here.

I've been checking my local newspaper for free/inexpensive events. I took myself out to a play at a local theater and really enjoyed it. Some time in my early 20s I decided that I didn't want to miss out on events and experiences just because my friends and family were flakey. Life is just too damn interesting

I’ll be in Houston this week :) If you want to go to any clubs/bars, I’ll be happy to go! I used to do that by myself all the time when I first moved there. Just say your friends are in the restroom, or can’t find them, etc. All the same excuses I use when they’re ACTUALLY there haha.

Other than that, Houston has sooooooo many things to offer. With or without people. Not sure if miller outdoor is still doing their thing now but lots of free shows. All the Christmas events around the city, walking the bayou, doing the boat peddles by the zoo, all the museums being free on thursdays, the endless clubs/bars open every single night. Also learning a new language would be good, YouTube helps. If you’re into crafting there’s a ton of craft swap groups online and on the FB (that’s what keeps me busy). Podcasts take up a lot of my time, MFM is my main one, and there’s a lot of women empowerment within their actual podcast focus too. If there was any place to be single lol, Houston is definitely one of the best places to do it in!

I have been single for 6 years now. I go to movies, dance classes, pole class, fitness class, paint nights, comedy nights (our local bar,) food festivals, farmers markets, brunch, steal the glass. When I go out to eat alone like for brunch or steal the glass nights I’ll take a book and sit at the end of the bar.

I’m currently looking for archery lessons and cooking classes.

I am 100% comfortable doing anything and everything alone. I don’t recommend for everyone but I also go to club events and raves alone (I’m very experienced in these and never had an issue with them.)

If you’ve never gone to a spin class, I highly recommend it! They’re really empowering. Also, I recently started going to a rock climbing/bouldering gym and it’s surprisingly easy to just go alone and climb.

Read books! Do art while listening to podcasts.

Paddle boarding if you live near a lake.
