I'm noticing that I'm starting to do better with my day game when I go out solo. My night game is still pretty weak but it's something that I've been working on.

I live right downtown where I live. It's a smaller town with only a handful (5-6) bars to regulate. Last night I went out with my friends to see a band and I just felt like we positioned ourselves in the worst spot of the bar. I feel like all of my friends are beta all the time. They're always knocking the band/environment/etc. They're always making excuses for whatever surrounding they're in on why they're not having a good time.

Meanwhile, I'm actively trying to better my game. It's not the worst, but I still have a slight hard time and hanging out with the people that I do just brings my spirits down.

I feel like at this point it's a lot better to go solo or maybe just bring one wingman along with me. But group social settings are not helping my game in any way at this point with the crowd I hang out with. Just seems like a lot of AFC's.

Does seddit have any advice on how I should approach the situation?
