I plan to attend London Pride next Saturday on my own. Will be in a seated area to watch the Parade. I am anxious and excited at the same time.
I am social awkward and not very good with small talk, which is something that has held me back for years. But I need to activities outside my comfort zone, and it will be a chance to meet new people.
Do you have any tips and advice for me to help me get through the day?
I guess just try to take them as they come and not try to anticipate or worry too much ahead of it. Just go with the flow…
Yeah focus on the festivities and soak in the crowd!
I dont have much advice because i have similar issues to you. If i was attending such an event, it would call for my dark glasses, im more comfortable in public when wearing them.
Idk I find big crowded spaces at public events can be easier cause no one notices you. Just enjoy it. We have Jordan Peterson over here in the US trying to redefine what pride means. Part of the country gets mad about pride being associated with gay. Petersons reasoning is that it’s a deadly sin. It’s like that’s not what it means. It’s in contrast to shame and oppression. You know out and proud. We got some dumbass mfer’s in this country. Peterson acts like he’s never been proud of anything before. He’s something else.
You’ll be fine just blend in.
Stay positive and have self confidence. Remember there’s probably others there thinking the same.
Compliments peoples pride looks.
share your story, your music
wear rainbow
be yourself or someone curious
hope you have a good time
That sounds exciting!
