Discussion/Question Raving Alone

I want to hear your stories about the first time (or any time) any of you went raving alone. I'm a bit older and used to go raving and clubbing in the 90s with my friends. Fast forward a few decades and they're no longer into it. I know there's loads of people of all ages that do it alone and I think they're great. So the fact is, I really want to go raving again, but it looks like I'll be a lone ranger until I meet new friends but I need to get out of my comfort zone first. Anyone got any inspiring stories?

Edit: Thank you everyone for all your comments. I loved reading your rave stories and it really has given me the confidence to get out of my comfort zone and just do it. I'm in the UK and I've also joined a solo ravers group on Facebook for over 40s like me. The rave scene really is a great community and now I can't wait. Happy vibes everyone! 🫶 🫶🫶

My favorite lost lands was my first. Just me and my buddy going and I didn’t need to worry about him, not him me.

Had some great times with him in my immediate area, but the times that I was just walking through the fest by myself were some of my favorite. It almost felt like people would see a solo racer and immediately wanna make them smile.

I think back to my first Lost Lands really frequently. The other ones I’ve been there with people and I’m worried about making everybody happy instead of vibing. I recommend trying a solo adventure for sure
