Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it?

  it’s fine to go to the movies alone. make it an evening just for you. buy an irresponsible amount of snacks and just get lost in it.

      The separation anxiety doesn’t go away if you don’t separate sometimes.

        aaaaahhhhh

        My parents fucked up my brain…

        From birth to like 12 years old… I wasn’t allowed to go outside by myself…

        Just home all the time… or in school…

        Never played with a peer outside of school…

        Every time I wanna go outside… its with mom…

        so the inertia just remained…

        I think I first was allowed to walk home by myself in like 6th grade… I was 13

        after that, I only went to the library like a few times…

        But besides those rare moments, never been alone outside (besides home or school or walking to and from school) by myself…

        Feels like climbing mt everest

        Like I never even felt brave enough to like… ask someone to just hang out after school hours…

      It’s not good family bonding time, sitting and not talking to each other.
      It’s better than nothing, but any activity that explicitly directs you all to interact with each other is better.

        Eh…

        Find seats next to each other and like just… being in the presense of each other…

        And there’s something to talk about afterwards… that’s an issue… mom really wants to “talk to me” but there’s no topics to talk about… movies can spark a conversation afterwards…

        I mean what other activity do you recommend?

        That aren’t too stressful for someone like me with depression?

  If you’re in Philly, there may be something in the Chinatown area, or maybe someone there can give you options so your mom can enjoy a movie out with you. I hope you find a solution.

  That said, you should go see Project Hail Mary, it’s fantastic. Maybe take a friend if you don’t want to go alone, but I’ve gone to movies by myself plenty of times and I would have gone alone to this one if I hadn’t dragged my partner to opening weekend.
