person A: I decided to go to the movies on my own. I saw the latest art film and had the theater all to myself.
person B: Why did you go to the movies by yourself?
person A: I didn't have anyone to go with during the afternoon_comma_ and I really wanted to check the film out.
person B: That is great being so independent.
person A: Yeah_comma_ it's similar to eating at a restaurant by yourself. It can feel a bit sad though.
