It’s nice that you to go and enjoy the music for awhile.

Why would this woman buy you drinks? You’ve just met her. I wonder if she thought you accepting the drink entitled her to some touching.

I know you said these are all hippies and just spread the love. And it’s fine if it’s causing you comfort. But it’s just causing you stress. That couple driving you around, the guy who felt entitled to be your boyfriend, now this woman buying drinks and touching. There has to be some middle ground and some boundaries so you could be comfortable. Not so uncomfortable you have to leave or avoid venues

It seems like these people keep taking you under their wing (how weird, do they think grown woman can’t have a good time without someone taking care of her?) because people in general are uncomfortable seeing a woman alone. People are expected to be coupled. How stupid and outdated.

I was in some ridiculous situations when people questioned me being alone and insisted I must joined others. One time funeral director was up in arms that I was going to drive from funeral home to a cemetery in my own car and should i drive with some family. I spent 5 minutes trying to convince him that it’s inconvenient and unreasonable for me to leave my car behind riding with people. He was like but you are alone. It’s ok. It’s a funeral!!!!

One time someone questioned me why I was alone at Friday night service at a temple. Was I suppose to bring a date??? She wanted me to sit with them because I sat alone in a pew. This isn’t a dance party! I am entitled to sit alone.

Most people mean well. But overall our society still think of women as helpless creatures who can’t be places alone and must have someone accompany them. Or that women can’t enjoy their own company so they should never be alone. So everyone needs to jump in and save poor lonely woman. That’s literally my pet peeve
