Teen Gothic

I dunno if it's me, but I have the hardest time making goth friends. I'm newish to my local scene, it's very active and I go to alot of the same events, I dance, I sit amongst the crowds, but besides the passing compliment on my outfit, that's as far as it goes. I've observed people stick to their friends group and not venture out. Some regulars have recognized my attendance and say hi, maybe add on social media but go back to their friends group.

I went out recently and almost none talked to me besides compliments on my fashion. It's nice and i say thank you but I crave more.

I admit I'm shy and I should take the first move but last night literally everyone was already in a conversation with their friend group or couples so I ended up talking to no one.

Help? What am I doing wrong? Its getting quite lonely in these bat caves.
