What country are you from? Sounds like you from europe, Germany to be exact.

I recommend taking a sports class. Boxing or MMA works great. As you spar with people you will bond immensely and in turn you can invite them out.

Sounds like you're in Sweden

I'm planning to move in a new city/country in the near future and I expect to go through the same thing as you are. However, I believe looking for friends in bars/pubs or clubs is not the ideal place. People are there to have fun with their friends and groups are ralely opened to have a new member, especially an unknown person. I would suggest to make friends in the places you spend time almost alway, such as work or anywhere else you usually go. Go out with your co workers and they might invite their friends or you might get to know new people through them.

Good luck mate!

The 2nd paragraph in particular makes me feel like you’ve got some major confidence issues man. The bartenders are just doing their job, don’t overthink things. People aren’t judging you as a bad person immediately, their snide remarks are more jokey than malicious. The sooner you get out of your head you should be G.

The trick is to assume everyone likes you.

It’s completely normal to feel awkward and weird going alone to a bar. Most people, especially many women, just don’t do it at all ( trying not to sound misogynistic here; it’s a cultural thing in the US at least. Heard it might be different across the pond). One way others judge you is by how social you are with your own friends; if you are then you seem easier to talk to and such.

There really isn’t any way around this except for choosing bars where you like to hang and form a relationship with the bartenders. I generally don’t like socializing much so I tend to frequent a somewhat quieter bar at the beginning of the night. After 2-3 beers at the bar, I feel the buzz and switch to a different bar or club, with a girl if I meet any in the first one.

If you don’t have a RBF and hold on to eye contact when you notice, you will be able to talk to strangers at bars. It does require a certain amount of confidence though.

Ultimately I went out to bars for years just hanging out there, observing people and acclimating myself to simply being comfortable in a bar. It takes time BUT you tend to meet people you generally won’t meet otherwise. That’s probably my main motivation for sticking to it for so long.

Chances are the people at these places don't even know each other that well. Could be they work together, or take a class at college and trying to have fun. If you go to a dive bar around 8pm it's usually less crowded so you can order a burger and beer. Later on, they usually hire a DJ, everyone is drunk and the music is so loud you cant hear what everyone says. Probably better off at earlier hours to meet folks.
