I Will Never Go To The Clubs

Why do I not want to go to town?

I think about the kind of image and reputation you'll have when people see you in town. The thing I feared most was getting photographed and put onto some of the club's Facebook page. The lighting is atrocious, and I do not want public record that I go to the clubs.

It's like giving people material on me.

"It's about having fun, though."

Sure. But think about the character of people that go to the night clubs. What kind of constitution do they have?

Especially as non-drinker, the scene is boring. It's too loud. The music can be hit or miss.

But, yeah, the main reason I don't like going to the clubs is being perceived as a whore. There's a saying, "A town rat." If I'm someone who's optimising for growth

I feel like a loser if I go to town. One time we went to a pub crawl. When 10pm hit, I left. I could see the return on my time diminish the more we continued on with the night. Then having that ability to go, "Fuck this. I'm going home," is powerful. A form of self-respect.

Basically I do not want the associations and ideas that come with being a club goer to my reputation. Which sounds stupid to someone reading this.

Like, I do not want my future wife to find out I was a part of that scene.

So, I'm happy with FOMO. At that point, it isn't a fear of missing out. It's just prioritisation.
