TheLeon Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 I walked to a local bar that does pop culture trivia on Tuesdays. Tonight happened to be Harry Potter themed, and for better or worse, I know a lot about Harry Potter. I got there at 6:45 (trivia signup at 7), and it was packed. It’s a small place, and there wasn’t any room at the bar. There were maybe a couple of single seats available at tables, but I guessed they were taken. So I turned around and walked home.

Biggie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 After reading your posts for several years I think I have a pretty good understanding of who you are. That being said, WTF made you think you could even pull this off? lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazatron Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 That sounds like an introvert's absolute nightmare. Good on you for giving it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really have anyone to bring to something like this. In theory, that’s why I was going. Bunch of HP nerds at a bar inspired by The Shining. If I’m going to find my people anywhere, that seemed like the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Then how do I meet people? I am an introvert, 9 times out of 10 I'm happy just being home alone, but I've been really fucking lonely for a long time, and I don't know how to solve that.

johnny Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 ive been to a harry potter themed trivia at a bar before and it's nuts. i wouldnt go to one again. trivia night at the bar with any other theme has been fine but HP it gets too hectic and ruins the chill and fun vibe there usually is. Insane how many people know every page of the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 But ive seen several times a couple people playing trivia by themselves and trust me nobody else is judging you for being there by yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of board game stores also do open nights for D&D, Magic, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
