I have been on my own for about 8 months now and I want to see what it is like to do some things by myself. For example, travel to a town by myself and do what I want to do. Usually when I go out of town it is with my family, and there is nothing wrong with that. But I would like to go one time by myself, just to see what it is like. I would also like to go to the movies once by myself. Is this wrong? My mom acted like I was weird because I wanted to try doing these things by myself, with no one else.

All the power to you! I go to movies by myself all the time. I'll take myself to dinner. I've gone on road trips by myself. Look at it this way. It's a great way to gain self-confidence, knowing you can do things by yourself and feel comfortable. Go ahead. Have some fun!

:: oh my goodness . its exactly the same with me . i just turned 16 and suddenly . i have a strong urge to just get out . i too usually go to the movies with my family shop . eat out . it was like the only time i went out was if i was with my family . i mean i do with my friends . but . yea im with the family most . and lately ive been having these urges to go off on my own . but . my parents are weary because im a girl and we're in a foreign country . but even though i know the risk . i still want to get away . so now . the only way i can go out without my parents is with my older brother . well >> were the same age but i guess because hes a boy . its changes everything . but even when we're out . i still want to be alone .
. so no . its not wierd at all . everyone feels like this i assume when they get older . just be lucky you CAN get out by yourself =] . dam.n i wanna leave so badly . and for the exact reasons . i want to see what its like to make my own decision and do what i want to do .
[[ we wanna do our own thing* ]]

No, it's not weird. You should try these things by yourself. Being comfortable with yourself is important. It may feel strange at first but I think in the end you will enjoy the feeling of independence.

i would say its perfectly normal to do stuff on your own. i mean sometimes you just want to get away, its just human.
as far as traveling alone, i would recommend not going to far and to a place you sorta know. im just one of those people that wonder if something happens and know one is there to help.
hope that helped.
