Having said that I don’t think you must quit music. There are music scenes that are way more appropriate. You recently went to a brewery with music scene and seem to enjoy it? Were they better behaved?

Of course there are jerks in every walk of life. The way to avoid them is to take it slow getting to know them. I bet if you took time to get to know that awful woman, you’d never go on trips with her. If you take your time getting to know people before you go places with them or invite them over etc you’ll avoid many issues. It might appear that people all suck but of course only some do, but you can avoid them

I say two good friends is a good start and honestly two decent people is better than 20 terrible ones!
The scene at the brewery was very fun and without incident!

No, I don't have to quit music entirely, but as soon as I get a job, I will branch out into other social scenes like meetups and outdoor groups.

Yeah, that recent horrible woman truly took the cake. I mean, to be miles away from home and abandoned at a concert was horrific. Had I known this about her, I never would have agreed to go.

I feel lucky to have the 2 good friends that I do have. There are other friends of course, but these 2 women I talk to the most and regularly.
