I sometimes become super apathetic and won't eat or sleep or be able to do much of anything for days at a time. With no one there to force me to even take care of myself, things could get disastrous. That's why I was hoping for support from my friends. 2. I'm trying to remind myself that this is the true purpose and beauty of this trip. I've just been slipping more and more as it gets closer. I could come out of this trip a new person. Or I could come out of it having wasted a few thousand and emotionally distraught just because I was unable to get out of my own way. |
I'm not going to lie to you. Going on a trip by yourself can be kind of lonely at times, depending on your mood. Sitting by yourself in the airport, for example, or at a nice restaurant. I've learned to go with take out/delivery back at the hotel because being the only one sitting by yourself for a meal is no fun. I did once, at a nice hotel restaurant, have another single person ask to join me. It was kind of awkward but also kind of interesting.
It just completely depends on your mood and outlook.
You can mitigate part of that with immersive activities. Going to places where people are clustered in groups talking can be bad and you'll feel left out. Going to immersive places where you don't need to talk is usually good. Going to see Cirque du Soleil by myself on a trip to Las Vegas was excellent, for example, and I enjoyed going by myself to the Aquarium in Boston on another solo trip. If what you're looking at interests you, then it doesn't matter if you're with someone.
