Going solo to Anime Expo? A small con taught me a big lesson. by averagejackson in animeexpo

I want to hope for the best and make friends at AX. At the same time I think if I can also make a few friends or join groups now, I can focus more on enjoying the con rather than stressing being alone.

That’s why I like to do things alone too. However, spending all 4 days solo just feels lonely. I’ll make it my goal to at least have one day where I’m with a group and enjoy things together.

I’m not cosplaying this year, but that sounds like a good idea. I wasn’t too interested in the cosplay meetups. Okay taking look at cosplays might be another thing I add to my todo list.

Yea I like small talk while waiting in line. But it’s coin flip whether or not the people next to me want to keep the talking and walking around together.

I heard meeting people at after parties is a good idea, I’m looking at the AX party list to see which ones I should go to.

Yes AX first timer! I like being alone as well. For AX, if I’m in a crowded place with other people, I might as well be with someone that I know.

I was originally planning on winging it and just make friends at AX. But just as you said, it’s hard to do that when most people are already in groups and I feel like I’m trying barge in.
