Going out alone

LegacyUser

I'm not the most social person in the world (suffered from very bad social anxiety,but a little better now)
There's a party on in a nightclub near me tonight. I really want to go.
Thing is, i've no-one to head there with. There'll be people there i used to know, though, but that was years ago.

Should i go, and risk feeling like a total outcast at it, or should i stay at home and feel like a total loser?

What's the worst that can happen?

Walking into any venue on your own can be hard, for some people anyway.

You knew these people before, give one of them a call and arrange to meet up before it.
Ye can walk in together.

It's nearly 9:30 now so I don't know what the OP's decided to do. I think you should go for it. My nightclubbing days are behind me now but I do remember knowing people who would go into nightclubs by themselves perhaps to meet up with friends who were already in there.

What is it that is making you anxious? Is it the queuing up by yourself before you get in? I think if I was in your shoes, I'd go and as soon as I'm in the door, make for the bar to get a drink. Perhaps there could be people at the bar who are from your group - a good chance to get talking to them.

Unless you are going to the private area of a night club I wouldnt worry too much about it. I've never really talked to anyone in a club - just don't be too bolloxed off your face and no one will care.
