BEFORE YOU ALL COME AT ME FOR NOT WANTING TO DO SOMETHING ALONE: I do things alone a lot! Including doing this activity I’m writing this post about. 95% of the time, I enjoy doing things alone. However, this is an exception that I’ll elaborate below.
I have a “busy season”, and I want to do something to celebrate the end of it. This is a business local to me does amazing cake decorating classes. They’re pricey though with most being around $160. They done some “happy hour” classes that are around $75 and much more lowkey. I did one and while I enjoyed the activity and LOVED the cake, it was a very awkward experience being alone. I was the only one there alone, some of the patrons were rude to me, and it just made me feel unwelcomed and kinda sad.
With that in mind, I really don’t want to go again, especially because it’s like a 3 hour class vs the 1 hour I did before. However, I’ve asked several friends and none of them seem interested. I’m so conflicted about it, because I really want to go, but the first bad experience scared me away. I know I could pay for a friend, but I’m not really in a financial position to drop an additional $160. What should I do? Is there anyway to make it more enjoyable? My only consolation is hopefully there are other people there alone since it is more expensive
