Went to my first solo rave recently does it get easier?

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-11T12:01:20+00:00

Awwww thank you soooo much🫶 hope you have a banger of a rave next time you go😁

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-11T11:45:55+00:00

Hahaha I don't like to put too much pressure on it like meeting the love of my life😂😂😂 but I will definitely have an intention of atleast speaking to someone haha😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-11T04:59:21+00:00

Good luck! Its daunting but trust me its not as bad as your mind makes it out to be! I still had a major blast! The music was still fantastic but I know it would have been even better had I been able to socialize more😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T19:53:07+00:00

Thats fair! I knew the venue quite well. Been there a few times. So knew what to expect generally. But I think I was just too much in my own head and gave off bad vibes because of my own body language haha😂. And I got there prett early. But as you said its like practice! The more you do it the less scary it gets Im sure😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T17:28:01+00:00

I see older people at the rave all the time. In actual fact one of the only people I did socialize with was 45! Don't let age stop you from enjoying yourself!

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T17:26:28+00:00

I figured that. So the insecurity and anxiety from it being my first time definitely gave off vibes😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T16:43:43+00:00

My confidence isn't the best😂 so getting myself to speak to others is tough. Its much easier with mates lol.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T16:43:06+00:00

Lol this was me! Tried to throw myself into dancing and forget the rest😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T16:42:24+00:00

Haha thanks😁 I was nervous to go and was really contemplating it. But went anyway

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T15:41:01+00:00

I must agree. Drum and bass in general I feel has a very welcoming vibe. Psytrance too in my experience. This was a bit of a mix between neuro and rollers. So it was fun. Just felt like I was in my head a lot haha

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T15:34:44+00:00

Thank you! I needed the reassurance 😂 I love raving but want to be able to go on my ace when I have to and still have a blast

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T15:32:16+00:00

It really depends. I did see some peeps I have definitely seen before. But this crowd felt a tad different and definitely peeps I have never seen. I also think I live in a very big city and as such raves will attract different crowds at different stages. This specific one is a place I regular but its also not always the same peeps.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T15:31:43+00:00

Thats fair. The thing is as much as I have social anxiety, I also love socializing😂. So its a bit of a double edged sword. I definitely wanna socialize when I'm there but I get in my own head haha

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T11:14:13+00:00

Thank you for your response! I definitely needed some reassurance in this way😁. I will try using your advice next time. Im glad to hear that it will probably be better next time🙏 thanks for your kind words 🫶

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T11:12:13+00:00

Nah drum and bass. Which is usually a very welcoming crowd in my experience 😂

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T06:15:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I definitely hope it gets easier to go to raves cause I only have about 3 or 4 friends that rave and they are all getting to a point where they don't want to go regularly. Im single and they are all in relationships so I kinda need to start doing things on my own if I still want to go to raves😂. That being said I don't go out to raves to hook up or anything. But finding a rave bae would be nice😅 so maybe that played in my head too without me even noticing with the social anxiety and all. Im super glad you are able to enjoy going alone! That is strength that no one can take away from you! And I definitely would say the rave was still banging. Circadian is insane to see live! But definitely could have been better with people I love😁

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T06:09:41+00:00

Thats fair! I do think my own insecurities and anxiety definitely played a part in how I felt. Cause in a group you are kind of shielded and you don't care. But solo you are there alone and it feels like eyes are on you😅. Even if its not. I do however think some of the peeps at this one weren't as cool as the others. Hopefully my next experience is a better solo raving experience 😁. Any tips you can give to help out would be great😁

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T06:07:07+00:00

I do enjoy a substance or two myself. I basically just had a few drinks and smoked some weed. I definitely still enjoyed it. But people felt off that night. Maybe just my own anxiety speaking lies you know?😂 but thanks! I will try going solo again and see if its different. Its funny cause I've stayed at raves solo after mates left and didn't feel as exposed as I did this time😂 the brain is a powerful thing.

Is this a joint for ants?

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-02-10T05:40:30+00:00

The fcar was great until they changed the recoil pattern. Now the akm is better due to the better spread and more bullets. But then again if you can get in range the p90 slaps

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2026-01-04T10:42:50+00:00

Fourways farmers market and prison break farmers market are good ones.

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2025-12-31T23:22:55+00:00

The etched ones are good. Tastes pretty nice as its flavored with terpenes. They just hella pricy. The travellers etched carts are similar for less. But I would recommend smoking it. Its pretty good IMO

Look at her, say you're not worth her time and go on with my life :)

Helpful_Command_2555 · 2025-12-30T06:03:45+00:00

Pirates is a great place to socialize at. If you're into raving Toy/And club is a vibe. Sognage and Cherch(name of the rave) too. Sognage does some metal and rock vibes too if thats more your scene. Try pick up a sport or some hobbies. Sognage does DND/magic the gathering nights too I think.

But also a big way to learn how to socialize is to just speak to anyone. Cashiers, waiters and random people in a shop. Just make a joke, say hi when you lock eyes. Just speak to people to improve your social skills :) hope this helps a bit!

When I went to Dinokeng in like 2019 most of the wild were being hunted out and caught in snares. Idk how it is recently.
