I'm allergic to familiarity. I like people better before I know them and I get to be superficial, it's true.
I hate to keep throwing everything in comparison to being a DJ type person but basically when you move to a new city, go to a club/bar and just lose it on the dancefloor all night long because you don't care about those people, you don't know them, you'll likely never see them again, no reason to feel even remotely self conscious. You are "anonymous"
Meet a few people, get to know the social circles, who's who, what they do, why they're there, what function they serve, what motivations they have and the motives for attending those events, the promoter, the dancer, the dj, the drunk, the ladies man, etc... all of a sudden, you are surrounded by individuals, identities, not a mass of "people" that you can lose yourself in.
