What I mean is would I feel satisfied with life after having gone to a club or concert ?, places I've hardly ever gone to so far. I don't like clubs but concerts are good but I have not been to one since 2010. This is probably because I never stayed in contact with people who liked these things and I still would not have gone on my own because I feel like it would be awkward and less fun than being with someone and also they are far away from where I live. I seem to think that by not going to these things you must therefore be wasting your time.

Not if you catch COVID.

You are the only one that can answer this question, but like ^ said, you are likely going to have to wait a little while until you can go to one of these events. But once they become available again; sure, why not? You won't know until you try.

Well I have not gone to a club because the music is not what I am into, it gets noisy and stuffy and I don't really like all the flashing lights, I'm not epileptic I just don't like the lights. I seem to feel though you still MUST go though because it just feels like that is what is expected for young people otherwise you are perceived to be a loser if you don't.

I don’t like going to clubs at all.

It doesn’t mean you’re not a cool person.

It doesn’t mean I’m not a cool person. You can be “cool” without being “hip.”

House said it best:

(First Applicant) : [to House when he refuses to hire him] Wow! I thought you'd be the last person to have a problem with nonconformity.

Dr. Gregory House : Nonconformity. Right. I can't remember the last time I saw a twenty-something kid with a tattoo of an Asian letter on his wrist. You're one wicked free thinker! You want to be a rebel? Stop being cool. Wear a pocket protector like he does, and get a haircut like the Asian kids that don't leave the library for 24 hour stretches. They're the ones who really don't care what you think.


Going to clubs will connect you with people who like going to clubs. If you don't like it, then why seek out those people? There are just as many people that are into the things that you are into as people that like going to clubs. Being your authentic self, rather than trying to be what you perceive your peers want you to be, is the surest way to make friends with people that are actually worth being friends with. Being popular is overrated. I'd rather have one friend that understands me than 100 shallow friends.

True that. Different types of people & cultural groups can find very different things popular & unpopular. For example some religions like Mormons & Muslims are straight-edge & do not drink alcohol nor smoke nor use drugs. I think it's helpful to know our niche & find others kinda like us who fit with it.

I never done the clubbing or concert thing & for the most part I have no desire to. However there is a Weird Al Yankovic tour in a few months that sounds appealing to me. I'm a big fan of comedy music. Al is supposed to be having a concert kinda near me but the VIP tickets cost about $350 per person :( VIP includes a meet & great & some other stuff that sounds fun. I would not want to go by myself thou & me & my girlfriend can NOT afford to be spending $700 for something like that. I cant think of anyone I would rather see in concert & meet than Al except for someone I've had a crush on & been in love with for the last like 12 years but she hasn't done any music in a very long time :cry:

I've only been to gay nightclubs, or smaller pubs just with family.

I don't know why you'd even consider going if you aren't interested.

Plus Covid? Um, no. I'm afraid to buy a loaf of bread let alone go to a club these days.
