So it's a gorgeous hot day,I've came to the beach on my own and I'm ridiculously self conscious
Aibu and a bit silly ?
I a mid 30s woman and I'm worried

I also call Stealth Boast!

Enjoy it! I used to love going places alone. I solo travelled alot before I has DD and found it so invigorating! It's endearing being happy with your own company and good for the soul! I doubt anyone has even noticed or is thinking much of you being alone, everyone will be busy enjoying their own day.

Hope you had a lovely day OP! This was my evening, and how I intend to spend tomorrow! Grabbing moments of peace wherever we can 😉

Not Bournemouth I presume!

A looser? Having some time alone on a beach sounds like winning to me!

I live near the beach, alone, I’m forever walking/sitting at the beach on my own! Way better than being sat indoors alone.

I'm worried people might think I'm a looser being on my own. My friends are all at work today so didn't want to stay in the house. Really wanted to come to the beach so thought stuff it. Now I'm here my eyes are all over checking nobody is watching me

All the losers were at Bournemouth.

Just thank your lucky stars you're not in Bournemouth or Exmouth.

As a shift worker the majority of my days off are in the week whilst my husband and friends are at work (won’t be come August when baby arrives) and I’ll miss all my shopping, cinema and walks by myself 😩

Very sillly im afraid. Whats there to "worry" about like?

Where I live there are often people in the local common on their own. Nothing wrong about it. All you need is suncream, a hat and a good book.

Which beach is that?

My money is on one of our local ones in Northumberland which are deliciously empty.

Where on Earth are these deserted beaches?! I’m so keen to enjoy the sea but there’s no way in hell I'm going to one of the popular beaches currently more packed than a Tokyo commuter train.

Wish I knew of a beach like this in the south!

Am very envious OP- hope you enjoyed!

I think many of us were very, very envious of you. An almost empty beach with a book, a flask of coffee and one's own company in this weather (I'm twenty miles inland from the east coast where there is almost always a sea breeze) - what's not to like?

You are lucky to find a beach so empty! South coast etc over run today. I used to go to beach on my own all the time when I lived by coast. I loved it and miss it so much. Make the most and enjoy your lovely spot to live in.

Goodness that looks beautiful!! Where are you? I’d love to go to the beach, or anywhere other than a grocery store 😂 on my own!! Hope you had a fab day OP!

I dream of this! Hope you enjoyed yourself x

I love the beach .I go by myself and sit towards the sea if i want to swim..If lucky i get a nice person or group who will look out for my limited bits if i swim..

Enjoy your time .. if people ask just stay shift pattern or something

Eh? I live beside a large and deserted beach. I go there on my own all the time! In fact, I much prefer going on my own, when I go with my husband or friends its not half as relaxing!

It's strange what people worry about! I'm someone who will sit in a pub on her own and not self conscious though so I really don't get why you should feel that way on an empty beach!
