I absolutely despise the bar/club scene
Last night I was invited to go out to the bars by a group of guys I work with. It had been a particularly hellish day at work and I was too tired, but I agreed to go out after. I've been trying to be more social with people lately. Motherfucker, I couldn't even pretend that I was having a good time. I fucking hated it. Passionately. It's so god damn loud. So so loud. I could feel the music in my lungs. Everybody was having a great time and I was miserable. And when I mentioned that it was too loud and crowded, my companions didn't get it. They thought it was fine.
If I hang out with people I want to go to someone's house, or a restaurant or something where we can talk and get to know each other. Not some vacuous, soul sucking bar where it's too fucking crowded. And I have no interest in picking up some slut and taking her home for a one night stand either. I want a more meaningful experience in that department. Please tell me it's normal. Although I know that for way too many people it's totally normal to go out and do the club thing all the time. What a waste.
