A guy said to me, “why are you here alone? Have no friends?” and I nearly broke into tears because he was right
I went to an event yesterday for fun, by myself, because I had no one to go with me.
A lot of people liked my attire so I had a few conversations, but then I was chatting this guy who seemed fine at first, but then he just said THAT.
And it was awful because he was right. I lied and said my friends were in the bathroom, and excused myself. (I should add that this guy had some buddies with him and I don’t think he was awkwardly offering companionship, but maybe he was, I’ll never know what went through his head after all. )
It ruined my afternoon and I think I’m going to stop going out to events like that because it’s just going to make me feel like a more of a loser than I already am with that comment in the back of my head.

I know you may not be looking for any responses given this sub, but I am perfectly happy going to any events alone and there are many people who are the same. If you are enjoying yourself that’s all that matters. Don’t let anyone get in the way of you having a perfectly good day enjoying things alone!
Also he could have been joking in order to try to talk to you. Anyway, don’t stop going to events alone, it’s perfectly normal to go solo!
