Anyone else 35+ who has had experience going to local queer events?
There’s a lesbian hangout happening at a local pride center this coming weekend and I’m kind of interested in going just to make friends or connect myself to the community (as of right now I have no other queer friends) HOWEVER being a neurodivergent introvert this is VERY much out of my comfort zone for me.
The other thing I’m worried about is my age. I’m 36 and I’m afraid I’m gonna go and everyone else is gonna be young and I’m gonna be the creepy 30 something that doesn’t belong. Has anyone else been to local queer events in your area? What was the vibe like? I just wanna know what I’m getting myself into before I go so it’s not SUPER awkward
