Got invited to Queer club at Uni

[Lalo]

I think that you should go. When I was younger, in my teens, I had a lot of social anxiety. I overcame it by forcing myself to do things that felt uncomfortable. I would go out to eat at a sit-down restaurant, alone. I would go to parties and strike up a conversation with someone, usually someone who also appeared somewhat withdrawn or shy. Over time, social anxiety became a non-issue. So...even after this event, you may want to push your comfort envelope when you have the opportunity. Good luck and best wishes!

So how did it go?

It was good. So I went last night, and spent most of the night with two other girls I knew from my course. One gay girl and one gay-friendly straight girl who just likes hanging out in the queer club. It was a fairly small night. There was only about 20-25 people there. I met and chatted to a few people who were nice, and a few of us went out for pancakes afterwards. I only wish there were more girls there. Of everyone at the party it was about 90% guys then only a few girls scattered about.

Crouton, glad to read your post and happy that you ended up having a comfortable time at the party, and then hung out over pancakes.
