Teen Gothic

Im going to a club tonight, but my frend can't go. Is it wierd to go alone. Im bad a socialising, like i can talk if somone start first but I dont know how to start conversation. Shoud I go ?

One of my more local venues is having a friday the 13th event and Im itching to go!!! I would be going alone and want to start going to make friends! I don't really have any right now so feeling very lonely at the moment lol. My main issue is that I've never been to any sort of club before and don't drink! Any advice or tips, Im very shy! 23f if that helps?

I'm a 25-year-old black woman who recently gave up all her social media. ( ive been fully presenting as goth for about 5 years now in my attire and the fashion has really helped me gain some confidence. I used to just listen to the mucis but had no taste for fashion, now ive gotten a bit better at looking the way I want. )

I'm attending a goth dance event for the first time on Friday by myself and I suffer from being a bit awkward and super shy. Are there tips on how I can navigate the bar/dance scene and make friends?

I really want to put myself out there and gain a bit more confidence. Is there advice for anyone who has gone to events alone?

Exciting news! Multiple sources reported that new single will be released later this week, hopefully we will get album pre-order option on the same day!

But sometimes I want to make friends. Typically I'm happy (perhaps happier) flying solo at the club, but I'd like to socialize more in my local scene

Any more extroverted/charming goths have advice on approaching people to chat at clubs? If you met your friends at a club I'd love to hear your stories 🙂

I will sometimes compliment other people's outfits or dance moves but have a hard time gauging whether it's appropriate to keep chatting them up or what to talk about (I'm on the spectrum and struggle a lil socially)

Okay so stupid question but as an autistic goth who really wants to go clubbing, I have no clue if it's completely abnormal to go to goth clubs alone or not. I don't really have any goth friends- alt friends, sure but not really goth and so I wanted to know if that was really weird or not??

So I wanna go to this event on Long Island but I have no one to go with so I’ll likely be going alone. I’m autistic and a loner so Ive struggle to have go to friendships over the last couple of years as well as currently being single atm. There’s a huge goth scene in nyc but it’s pretty rare that they have these events on Long Island where the venue is literally 15 mins from your house so I wanna take advantage of it. How do you navigate a situation like this?

Back in November I started going to goth nights by myself. My first night felt mega awkward because I had no clue how to dress, didn’t know anything about etiquette and didn’t know what to expect. Since then, I’ve only missed one show. It’s my new favorite thing. It’s something I look forward to the most each month.

To someone else, I probably look bored and like a borderline creeper at these. I usually find a spot to sit or something to lean against. I’m not a dancer, I’m a musician, so I’m there with a different perspective. I keep to myself because I only know a small handful of people and they aren’t always there. I’m the type that is shy unless someone talks to me first.

One of the coolest things about not being a dancer is the opportunity for people watching. I’m not talking about checking out clothes or makeup, but being able to be still and appreciate the world. It’s cool to see groups of friends having a good time. It’s good to see other solo people doing their own thing. It’s so good to see people BE THEMSELVES and escape the world a little while. One of the regular dancers played her first live DJ set this weekend. So dang cool to see someone take that step.

If you are ever on the fence about going alone, do it. Don’t put it off because it might be awkward or uncomfortable. Go dance, go listen, go hide in a dark corner with your arms crossed. You will have the time of your life.
