talk to the person who's next to you at the concert

you're there for the same band. so at least that's going for the both of you (I did this at a claud show! We talked for two hours about mutual tummy troubles and still talk every now and again.)

make small talk

the best concerts i've been to alone are ones where i accidentally made temporary friends. i know the anxiety defeats this rec a little bit (i usually am in & out silently when i go to shows alone, so this is rare) but i recently went to a show by myself and made a few friends in line and it made the experience so much more enjoyable. sometimes the anxiety stems from feeling like ur standing/staring in a place where u feel totally isolated as if u dont belong there, but learning even the bare minimum about the ppl around u can sometimes eliminate that. talking to strangers is hard all the time but the lucky thing about concerts is that u definitely have at least 1 thing in common :) butt into some conversations. compliment someone's outfit. it gives u someone to vibe with/talk to for a few minutes or hours and then, if u want, u can disappear and never see them again!

try to talk to people around u

i went to chappell roan alone bc my friends didn't know who she was at the time tickets went on sale and i had the time of my life. just think about how the crowd are all fans of the artist ur seeing + other artists that may be in the same sonic universe as that artist. u already have something in common! try to make friends or make side comments while waiting for the artist or in between opening sets~ its so worth it and is not as embarrassing as u may think

Favorite words list

i keep it pinned in my notes app! Good conversation starter for fellow word enthusiasts! One of the first times I hung out with one of my now close friends we realized we both had a list like this and it was a blast to compare and contrast. To quote him, Words are so good!!

Referring to yourself as a writer

Literally changed my whole perspective. Suddenly my world is full of possible and wonder and whimsy. I may only write in my journal right now... but I'm a writer goddamnit!
