Debating on whether or not to see a concert for the first time

[fallingbehind]

I have severe misanthropic tendencies and an aversion to public spaces, but an artist that Ive really enjoyed since 2018 (though I dont listen to music much at all anymore) is coming to the country Im currently in, and will be performing around a week before my ctb date.

Ive never gone to a concert before, I went to one party when I was 19, and the embarrassment I felt from being there still lingers with me. I know that I will feel really awkward and out of place at her concert, but, maybe I should just get that one experience? Not sure.

If you want. You might even get a seat and place near the back of the crowd if you're not too keen on being up front. That way there's no one behind you and everyone will be mostly looking forward at the musician in front of you.

I say go for it, it's worth it. You deserve to be there just as much as anyone else. Remind yourself that while there may be moments of discomfort (and expecting that reality beforehand helps you adjust without being caught off guard), you'll also get to experience something truly meaningful and wonderful for you. Maybe it's a sign?

I'd encourage you to attend the concert. You can always leave early if you're not enjoying it, presumably?

It's something that would be nice to experience as long as you're comfortable attending. You can always leave the concert if you're not feeling comfortable

I love going to concerts, the sitting down and listening ones not the wild party like concerts. I especially love classical concerts with analog music since i always wanted to learn some of those instruments myself but it's all so damn expensive. So i think you should at least give it a try and leave early if you don't like it.

Another vote for going! I have not been to many concerts but it is nice to sit and watch an artist you like play. Also, everyone there has something in common, you all like that band! It is heartwarming when they play a popular song and everyone sings along. I bonded with people for the two hours we were there.

Agree to buying the cheap tickets in the back. Also take earplugs! Concerts can be very loud. I get those little foam ones from the pharmacy.
