I hate pubs. I hate bars. All the people, loud music and other overstimulations make my brain go crazy... but most of my friends want to go to bars. Its seems like they are enjoying themselves... any tips to either get better att handeling sutch situations in fututure so i wont be as much of a antisosial outsider?
I smoked/vaped for a long time just for this reason. It's a great way to put a little distance between you and the environment.
I'm not suggesting you do this, but I am a bit older now so I don't know how much the ice breaker activities have changed. Perhaps there are other less harmful options? Even if not, you can pal around at a safe distance.
A gigantic point of assistance is having someone who can help you as a sort of social ambassador. Having someone around who understands but is better equipped to help is a godsend.
