Heartbreaking moment woman, 32, breaks down SOBBING as she details humiliating dating experience – and candidly reveals fears she is going to end up ALONE: ‘There are people who just don’t find their person’

A woman broke down in tears as she revealed she was publicly humiliated for attending a comedy show alone in the hope of meeting someone – and shared her fears she would end up alone.

Anya Haas, 32, from Austin, Texas, explained in a recent TikTok video that she decided she wanted to try finding a boyfriend in person instead of through a dating app.

She said she started attending several social events in the hope of meeting a potential suitor, but a recent night out ended in horror after she was made fun of in front of a large crowd for being alone.

Anya broke down in tears as she talked about the shame she felt – and confessed that she’s starting to wonder if she’ll ever find her soulmate.

“I’m not one to cry on the internet, so this is new to me,” the 32-year-old said in the TikTok between sobs.

“I think I need girls to rally around me and lift me up because I feel so defeated right now.”

In the video, which has now been viewed more than 329,000 times, Anya explains that she used dating apps for ‘years’, but had no luck. That’s why she’s been trying to “meet people in public” lately.

“I don’t need to tell you how horrible dating apps are, so I’ve been trying to meet people in public,” she said.

‘[Most are] still crap when i meet them in public. But tonight takes the cake.’

Anya explained that she bought a ticket to a comedy show hoping to meet a man or make friends.

She arrived 20 minutes early and “happened to be the first person there,” so she was told to sit in the front row.

At first she thought nothing was wrong, but when it was showtime and she realized no one else had been in the front section, she started to panic.

“Everyone filled in the back, every row [behind me] was filled, with couples of course, and then I was alone at the front,” she said.

“The host of the show quickly comes up to me and says, ‘Thanks for sitting in the front row.’

“She walked out on stage and had everyone clapping for me because I was so brave to sit in the front row.”

Once the show started, Anya said several comedians “banned” her for sitting alone in the front row, leaving her completely “mortified.”

One even asked her, “Are you waiting for people?” What is going on here?’

“I had to admit, no, I’m trying to meet people,” she explained. “It was humiliating.”

At the end of the show, the host even felt so sorry for her that she decided to give her an award.

‘The [host] said they normally do a lottery but instead she’s going to do the [prize] to the “courageous young woman who came first and sat alone in the front row,” Anya remembers.

“Then she had me introduce myself and say my name into the microphone while everyone clapped. It just felt like a slap in the face.”

Afterwards, Anya said she took an Uber home and her driver was a 75-year-old woman who “couldn’t stop talking about her dogs.”

“All I could think about is: “Is this me?” the TikToker admitted. “I can’t help but feel like I’m going to turn into her because I’ll never meet anyone.”

The brunette beauty sobbed as she continued, “At this point in my life, it just feels like, Jesus, I don’t want to date anymore.

‘I’m tired of it. I’m over it. I’m done with it. When I try, something like this happens. And for everyone who says to me, “He comes along when you least expect it,” that’s what I’ve been hearing for the past seven years.

“I’m so tired of hearing that. There is such a thing as people who just don’t find their person and don’t get married.

‘I’m a realist. The realist in me is starting to think I will be. And I’m depressed about it now. As sad as that sounds.’

Anya’s video resonated with thousands of people, who flocked to the comments section to share their thoughts.

“There’s nothing worse than isolation in a crowd. I feel for you,” one person wrote.

“I never had to deal with anything again,” someone else revealed. ‘Heavy on the “you’ll meet them when you least expect it”, like: I’ve been waiting eight years???’

“You were so brave to go there and you should be proud of yourself,” another user added.

“Girl what I learned from this is that you are brave and amazing and beautiful and fun and so real,” read a fourth comment.

“You’ve had a bad day, but you pick yourself up and try again because you’re great. I hope all your dreams come true.”

“Change your mindset – you’ve pushed yourself out of your comfort zone,” another viewer agreed.

‘You should be proud. An entire room recognized that and clapped for you. Turn it into a renewed independent confidence.’

‘Loneliness is cruel, good for you for putting yourself out there. It sucks until it doesn’t,” someone else said.
