I can't dance, the music is normally ****e, it's too loud to talk, the drinks are crap, it's expensive, they go on way too late and they're full of nobheads

I haven’t actually been to a club since the end of 2019 (no joke) but when I did go I’d always try to get half my money’s worth by sticking around to the end/4-5 a.m.-ish. I share your general frustrations, ’though. My speaking voice is naturally very husky and low (I get well-spoken as a speaking-descriptor a lot but certainly not loud) so I never counted on being heard properly in clubs (outside the bathroom and smoking area). Even bars that I actively like have the issue of it being too loud for any normal conversation to flow from someone who has such a low voice so I don’t mind going to these places alone. I’m fairly reserved (which I think has been well-established on here by now) so I don’t mind riding solo at the best of times anyway but my voice being the way it is is just more incentive for me to keep to myself in those situations. I’m just not loud enough to thrive conversationally in those spaces. My voice sounds normal (because it is) in just-about any other setting but in noisy environments it’s just too deep and low to be heard easily.
