How unacceptable is it to go to a concert by myself? None of my friends have the same taste in music as I do and my favorite artist is coming to town :(

What's wrong with going to concert by yourself? I've done that myself a few times. Just go and have a good time! You are there to enjoy the art of music, less so about your friend's company...

Totally acceptable! I do it all the time when on the road. Do it at home occasionally too because my wife doesn't like the same music I do.

@p2, I go to movies by myself too. Having fancy meal in high-end restaurant by myself too...I actually find it empowering. Female here. Every time I sit next to a sugar babe-type with an old man and seeing her trying to charm her way through the meal paid by the man, I feel proud of myself making my own money, enjoying my own time, ordering and pay for whatever I want, and not giving a fuck about what other people think. Cause I know even with nobody being my company, I'll be just fine and happy :)

Omg I 💙 that OP asked this ques and so many fbers are supportive of this. I go to the movies by myself and am ok with that. Have been thinking about going to concert on my own but haven't done it yet. Too many negative, judgmental thoughts in my head... 😞

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year.

Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?
