concert tips?

Post Reply New Topic

i absolutely LOVE going to concerts, but they kind of freak me out. it doesn't help that most bands i like play in basements haha. i try to have a good time but i always end up standing in the back worrying about the ceiling falling in or something. it looks fun to be in a mosh/circle pit / wall of death or whatever, but that makes me have a huge anxiety attack.

what should i do to not worry about stupid stuff so much?

I guess you should just try to lose yourself in the music and relax. I ended up being caught in a wall of death once while I was trying to follow my friend. I got squashed and thought I was gonna get killed haha but I was fine. People push and shove and seem aggressive but if there is a genuine chance of someone getting hurt most people are surprisingly nice and will help you out. I used to get panic attacks in concerts too, but I just thought about it and realised it's not realistic. If I need to leave or it gets too much then there's nothing to stop me from walking out.

Foam earplugs help, it helps when the sounds are too loud or overwhelming. It helped me
