How to go out alone in uni?

[ChiraLM]

For context I am at a large uni with a reasonable bar scene. I want to go out alone but am too ND and high inhib to do it. I am worried I will look like hella ND if I go to a club/bar alone. Buying drinks won't work as ID is REQUIRED everywhere but you can get in (it is jester anyway). I was curious for some advice for what to do to not look so fucking retarded if you pull up to a club alone, with no drink.
Also very importantly, as i'm at uni i'm worried about getting recognized/known for cold approaching even though I have never done before. I just don't want a track record of being a creep and without friends to go back too after a rejection. In my hometown I went to a club wasted with my friends and went 3/5 on the hottest chicks there doing nothing other than putting my hand on their back and shoving an empty contact in their face.
I just have such a high inhib and I'm so worried I dont even wanna get drunk cause I know it won't help.

take a deep breath, relax, calm down , nobody will hurt you. Realize that starting out alone is what you have to do in order to begin your jounrey to a better social life. go out just chill by yourself, try approaching familiar faces, or maybe even cold approach a few chicks. take your meds and youll be fine. just be confident bro.

First of all, i don't thing that story is true. I don't think you have any friends. And i don't think a dork would pull by putting his hand on random persons.

Now, i don't think you'll enjoy going to bars alone unless you like drinking, which is not possible for you since you need an ID. I also don't think you'll enjoy socializing there since you acknowledge being too much of a dork. What's happening here is: you wanna give yourself a chance to prove you can be socially competent, but let me tell you, going to a bar alone as a socially akward dude ain't the way, specially if you can't drink.

If i was you i'd try making friends in other contexts

I have friends just all are engineering majors who dont care about going out. I have success with dating I js think the approaching women is the hard part specifically in public not through hinge/tinder wtv.
Story is true my brotha

Don’t do this lol…social status is everything in college. You will have a shit experience. Cold approach is fine tho as long as you don’t spam it and do maybe like 7 a week
