Teen Gothic

Hey all. I have just moved to Long Island, New York for school and I've been trying to look around to see if I could find any goth scenes to get into. And also I'm looking to make some goth friends, I'm currently the only goth at my University. I'm willing to travel into the city to find some venues if need be. I've always wanted to visit a goth club.

Considering I work at a mall, I see plenty of female goths of different styles, but aside from myself, I almost never see any males. Do I just live in the wrong place?

So for a bit of context normally I get anxious going out wearing anything that isn't a casual goth outfit. Today, being holloween I decided to go out wearing with long, black coat to try to dress how I want to since it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary on a day like today. Went to Target and one of the workers complimented on my "costume" and it made me feel good and confident. I absolutely needed that today and hopefully will help me feel confident enough to get out of my comfort zone more often. Just wanted to share
