Going clubbing as a complete introvert.

For context, one of my very good friends is throwing a party at a club and I've been invited with several others from my class. She knew I was super introverted and offered to take me home that same evening if I felt like it, but I value her friendship so much and want to make her day special. So I've decided to fight through the social anxiety/awkwardness and go! I am quite excited actually :smile:

So as a question for anyone who has ever stepped foot into a club or just gone for a huge night out, do you have any advice? I spent hours researching general safety so I know it (in depth, with bullet points), but like...how do you act in a club setting?

Some questions:-

1) Are you male or female?
2) Is it a birthday party or some other specific event?
3) Are you over 18?
4) If yes to the above, do you drink?
5) Are you going straight to the club or doing a pub crawl (visiting a few bars in town) first?
6) You say your friend is hosting... will you know everyone (or at least most people) there?
7) What sort of people are you and your friends (e.g. are you/ they "cool" kids; or more alternative?)
8) What do YOU want to get out of it, do you envisage yourself:-
i) Meeting someone or flirting with people
ii) Bonding with your existing friends
iii) Dancing all night
9) If it turns out it's not for you, do you have a means of "escaping" early?
