Anyone has been to gaming Conventions before in Life?

I’ve not because I’m an asocial irl and hate large crowds. I also suffer from social awkwardness, Asperger’s and social anxiety. And lastly, I can’t afford it at all personally. I’ve never been into partying, socializing or going to conventions and etc at all because I’m strictly comfortable with socializing online.

I go to PAX by myself every year and despite being an incredibly anxious and introverted person I always have a blast. If you want to keep to yourself you totally can! Plus you're around thousands of people with similar interests to you and most of whom are a bunch of goofy nerds so most everyone's a little socially awkward anyway. You'd be in good company!

I have never been to a gaming convention and honestly I have no interest in going to one, to be honest. I agree with will though. If you're going, most people are going to be like you so it shouldn't be too awkward or weird.

Just not something that interests me really. I don't really want to go to a convention to find out more about certain games or to try them.

Find out about games from the internet and videos. And I'm not really interesting in trying out games so that's not an issue

As I do because I have very severe Asperger’s and OCD.

I don’t care for it at all myself. I’m happy with my own games and don’t have any friends outside the internet.
