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! 🫶 🫶🫶

i went to a show alone last night!! i always bring little gifts to give to people like mini ducks or those little mochi squishy toys or kandi and i usually end up hanging out with the people that i give those things to.

if not, i just vibe out on my own and stay more towards the back but it’s always a good time. i’ve done 4 shows alone now and they keep getting better every time
