I have found that often when I come in contact with another 'true' goth (and by that I mean someone who actually identifies with the subculture, not a mallgoth.) I have this wierd sort of under-the-surface connection with them. I think that they must notice it too, because it always seems to happen the same way. We catch each other's eyes and smile knowingly, and we can talk like old friends without either of us feeling awkward. Most of the time when this happens we never see each other again, but it still feels good to know you had that sort of 'instant friendship' connection with someone, especialy in this day and age when being rude and obnoxious is the norm.

Yep, there are just so few of us out there that we feel instant connections. It's like "My god, so i'm not alone!"

I've done that many times and not just with goths but people from other unusuall subcultures. I do agree that it's because of the "so I'm not alone" sensation for the most part though...

I feel like that could happen between just about anyone. Not just someone who shares your subculture.

I had this happen the other day at the local art festival. Kind of neat sensation. I actually managed to exchange phone nubers with the person and probably going to hang out with them again. Always nice to meet a new friend like this.

Mina Lilith Yep, there are just so few of us out there that we feel instant connections. It's like "My god, so i'm not alone!" Yeah, that's the simplest way to say it.

It only happened twice, but it was pretty cool.

Not that I can recall, unfortunately. Once I was friends with a goth, but I don't really remember the time we met, so I couldn't say about that.

Actually, when I'm around people like that, I tense up for fear of saying something that's just factually incorrect about goth around them, and all.
Subconscious fear.
I tend to have that "So I'm not alone" instant-click feeling with stoners, drug addicts, new-age hippies/bohemian chic, and art-lovers.

I get this fuzzy feeling in my stomach whenever anyone can say something about my clothing, or we can actually talk about music together.

Unfortunately in my area there are not all that many Goths meaning that I get the exact opposite, I get stares as in to say 'what the heck are you wearing!' I hope this soon changes in my town.

I don't always get that moment of understanding (usually because I've got a regular job and I can't look *too* gothy on the weekdays). But somehow it makes me happy to see someone else all gothed out in the sorts of clothes I'd wear on off days.
And though they can't always tell I have the same tastes, sometimes they suspect. Tiny things like jewellery or colour choice can give us away!

I hope this soon changes in my town. Actually, it's like that in my home town too. The only time this happens to me is at the Ren Fest or other various festivals/conventions. That's probably why I ike them so much.
