Hey Reddit, I'm worried about my social circle's love of clubs and my lack of said love. What do?
Pretty much any time anyone has a form of celebration, people go to clubs (Liquid&Envy/Reflex around my parts). I just can't stand them. It takes away what I love about meeting my friends (conversations, good laughs) and replaces it with everything I hate about music (thumping beats, dancing) and drinking for the sake of drinking. I've tried just getting absolutely plastered and trying to let loose, but it just doesn't work. Planning to go to Uni next year only makes me worry more, because isn't that pretty much the entirety of the social life there?
I hate to impede on their good times in any way, but I also hate the feeling of being left out. Should I ditch the idea that I'm able to maintain the drinking level of friendships that were rampant in the house party days? Should I try and massively change my likes and dislikes? Should I just give up on the idea of socialising at University? What do?
