It can be daunting to go to a music concert alone if you're an introvert like I am. Even worse if you're feeling anxious about being a woman alone in a large sea of people. You never know what could happen! No one is there to have your back or tell you jokes, or make it look like you're cool and have friends!

Introvert here googled "going to a concert alone" LOL! These comments gave me courage. Not that I was afraid of being alone (use to that) I'm just tired of feeling like people feel sorry for me or might think I'm a crappy person because I'm alone. This is my second concert by myself. The first one, (Citizen Cope) i felt awkward.

I love going to concerts and broadway plays by myself. I"'ve seen MGK, Disturbed, Blink 182, and both Book of Mormon and Beetlejuice by myself. I have social anxiety, but I've always managed to talk to a few people while I've attended because we all have common interests. It's incredible!

I’m going to see Chloe Bailey next month alone and got the meet and greet package in Boston, this is my very first time going to a show by myself. And not only that but it’s 2 hours away from my city so I’m nervous. I have really bad anxiety but I’m also excited and really wanna have a good time 😭😭😭 I’m not worried about looking weird by myself but I overthink if I’m gonna get lost and not know where to go in the venue, and I’m just extra cautious about my safety. I don’t want anything going wrong. I hope I end making some friends there 🥹❤️

I love going to concerts! It’s one of my favorite things to do. I’ve never been to concert alone but I’m going to see Lauryn Hill and the Fugees in October and no one I know really seemed interested, whether that be for financial reasons or otherwise. I’m not going to miss it out on the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest albums ever, so I bought one ticket, a really amazing seat…paid a hefty price for it but hey 🤷🏾‍♀️. I’m looking forward to this experience. The older I get the less I need other people to do the things that make me happy. If you’re going to a concert alone don’t worry! You’re there for the music, the vibes, the art! In a society where people are unhealthily co-dependent, I think it’s pretty badass to do whatever the hell you want despite who supports or not.

Less than 24 hours will be my first concert. On my own as well. 50k people. Rammstein. I felt that it was time, not much till I'm 30. I'm mostly not sure how loud it'll be and how the whole eating/drinking and toilet situation is. I did get a seat though, so atleast I can sit down if it's too much. And I have earplugs.

Hi Yona, I was reading your blog about Taylor Swift’s vocal range where you said she has a range of between 3.5 to 4 octaves. The range you gave was from A2 to E5. That’s actually only 2.5 octaves. A2 to A3 is one octave, A3 to A4 is one octave, and A4 to E5 is a perfect 5th. So her range is two octaves plus a perfect 5th, which is basically 2.5 octaves. I hope you found this helpful. Just trying to help.😊

I appreciate this. I'm still watching but just wanted to stop and comment because I'm having anxiety about going to a stand up comedy alone. Not only do I feel like I will stick out like a sore thumb because I am alone, but also... It's a black Comedian, and literally all of his shows I watch on TV are 99% a black audience. I hope I don't sound offensive because I am not meaning to be. Im just worried I will get laughed at and if people will wonder why I'm there because maybe I'm not 'relatable'. I love this comedian but just having anxiety about it. I don't have friends and I'm a bit of a loner so didn't have anybody to ask to go with me. What do you think?
