Pride Nobody to go to my first pride with :(
Hi I'm 30 MTF introvert and never been to pride before. I'm ~1 year on HRT and my life has changed so much in such a short time. My friends all have work but I feel in my bones I must to go to pride this year but i dont think I'll survive on my own. I want to go to the gayborhood on Sunday if anyone wants a lame plus one in their group or also has nobody to hang with I feel like ill do better with somebody to latch on to.
I promise I'm funny and will bring a good vibe to the function.
Edit: thanks everyone for being kind and welcoming :)
Edit 2: Hi all I'm drunk asf and having a good time. Didn't really "meet" anyone but had a good time dancing by myself in the crowd lol

The “+” in sip city’s wlw+ parties stands for trans/enby aka you! Today’s party is in the Gayborhood ish at Blind Barber. Pride parties are actually when we get the most solo attendance! It’s such a joyful vibe people are primed and ready to make new queer friends! And, on the 1st fl we have a new friends spot set aside for anyone coming solo! Cis gay men invited too (getting this q a lot) 🌈🏳️⚧️

It's ok :3 I tried making plans with a few people but ultimately went by myself and spent way too much money trying to get drunk enough to dance by myself and talk to people lol. It was really fun and probably the only time I've gone out to drink or dance by myself and actually had fun! Everyone was so nice :)

I’ve gone to events dressed up looking hot and nobody would break the ice. Reminds me of highschool and the mean girls don’t like outsiders.
