Any aspies enjoy nightclubs?

Post Reply New Topic

I love indie and metal and some other stuff, so yes, if the club is playing that kind of music and I can dance it's great. Even though I like some electronica, I find parties with electronic music mostly boring, I guess it's because I cannot sing along or bang my head or totally freak out to my favorite song

About the loudness: I use earplugs so that's fine. I do have problems with some sounds (e.g. motorcycles), but music it totally different to me. I also enjoy going to smaller festivals and concerts.

Light: Don't have any problems with light.

Cigarette smoke: There's no smoking allowed in clubs where I live...

I hate nightclubs, absolutely cannot dance no matter how intoxicated I am, hate loud bars, have never gone to a concert in my life. I don't like large groups of people and I can't stand the noise and sensory hell. I completely shutdown socially if I am with more than 1 person. I prefer to stay away from such places.

Nightclubs are not my scene. The music normally played there is stuff that I don't like and grates on my nerves. The dancing is really awkward and claustrophobic. Occasionally, someone will try to chat me up and as soon as I respond to them, it's like an alarm goes off that tells them I'm not on their same mental wavelength and am having next door to zero fun.

By contrast, I enjoy going to rock concerts with a crowd of people -- I prefer to be at the very front though, so I don't have people on every side of me. Drinking and chilling at a bar is also a favorite activity, just remove the nightclub out of the equation.

The strange thing is that I can't bare pubs. I can go to a nightclub but not a pub. All the guys shouting loudly hurt my ears and telling jokes I don't understand. Everyone tries to talk to me, the pub seems a bit too much of a social place. Guys always trying to talk to me about football, football and darts scores when I don't watch sport. Gets a bit too much

Wow, so the majority of aspies hate nightclubs? lol

Found them incredibly overstimulating and disorientating.
I don't go to them any more.

Twenty bucks to get in the door, close to ten more for a bottle of bud lite...that was 20 years ago. I'd hate to know what things are like now, and all just to be alone in a loud, sweaty place and feeling invisible.

I have sort of a love-hate relationship with night clubs. Not my favorite places to be, especially with the playlists in most of them consisting almost solely of boring tunes that the DJs somehow think haven't been played on the radio enough, but if a group of friends happens to go into one, I'll oblige. I do like watching the colorful lights, though.

I don't like loud bars. It's hard to talk and there's often nothing else to do besides drink. If I'm going to go out somewhere, I at least want to be able to talk to people. I know people go out to dance, but I don't dance. I also don't like places that don't serve food.
