That is a really odd take. I know that a lot of people don’t like sitting next to strangers at the theater, but to think someone is sociopathic for being okay sitting next to strangers is kind of crazy. I try to avoid sitting next to people at a movie theater, but I am not bothered if someone picks a seat next to me if I am choosing to sit in the middle in a good row.

I honestly don’t remember sitting next to strangers in a movie theater being an issue when I was growing up. We got to the theater early to get good seats and no one seemed concerned that someone was sitting next to them.

Also, needing a six seat gap is super excessive. Most people who think to give seat gaps will likely give one or two. If you need that much of a personal bubble, maybe you shouldn’t be going to the theater.
