my favorite place is the coffee shop in my local Hastings Bookstore. i get a coffee and sit somewhere with a book and am out for a while. there are people around me but i ignore them and they ignore me.

anytime you are out in public you are going to have to interact with people. either you'll have to buy something so you're not loitering or they're going to ask you something because they don't know what your reason is for being there. but that's miniscule compared to group therapy where you'd be forced to interact because they're going to ask you questions. "do you have anything to share?" that question will get very annoying very quickly.

i like to walk around Walmart, too. the associates aren't very friendly so they don't ask questions and i can walk around and no one cares if i'm loitering or not (which i usually am).

if you're up to spending the money, a cinema is a good idea. some even have kiosks that completely take out the having to wait in line for a ticket or having to deal with the cashier. and it's dark and no one will talk to you. and you get entertainment.
