Should I attend or will I just be sitting awkwardly please help.
I'm not telling you to go or not but you are looking at this wrong by this sentence in my opinion
You are not chad, you are not mr popular, you will go there for a few minutes just to see everyone and then leave, you are not sticking around long term
Normies do this, they know to not show to events too early, usually you play it safe by showing up an hour late, if you are early it is awkward at the start before the music and alcohol is flowing, same with being there too long, you also want an early exit
I think it was a tip I learnt from my ex red pill time when I was like 14, I saw a good story, I will try repeat it here for you or others, but it was a fictional story on why an early exit is so important
Imagine you meet a guy on a park bench, and you both instantly hit it off, you both have blackpilled world views, you feel like you really connect with this guy he really gets it and you guys even occasionally have each other in uproarious laughter (JFL
) at the state of the world and so on. So you guys are laughing and he strikes while the iron is hot, he tells you that he knows a great burger spot and you guys should both meet up again and possibly become friends.
Now instead in a different scenario imagine he does not ask you to hang out another time, instead you keep talking and eventually the conversation will fizzle out and die, it's peak was 5 minutes ago and you have nothing else to really say to each other since you are both strangers, slowly awkward pauses begin to creep in during dialogue, the 1 or 2 second awkward glance at each other.
The conversation dies.
Then he hits you with it, if you would like to hang out another time.
You are far more likely to decline, you feel that there is zero conversation material there and it's awkward, you stayed too LATE you are meant to leave EARLY
