What do you do at concerts?

For context: I was 6'4" in my boots heheh.

I just went to a concert. I got there early. I didn't want to go in the front because I saw a LOT of shorter people (it seemed like most were young >20 tbh) waiting in line and I just didn't want to be rude and obstruct people's view if I could get a good view about halfway back.

I STILL had people complaining and griping behind me. I think it was a group of really short women, one of them legitimately went to my elbow so I was super conscious of not whacking her all night.

Like what do you want me to do? Even if I was a couple inches shorter (sans boots) they'd be complaining. Do I just say fuck dem kids and shrug it off? I was trying to be thoughtful 🫠

I'm making an effort to go to more concerts this year and this stuff just gives me anxiety. I want everyone to enjoy their night out, but it feels like that doesn't happen if I attend.

Eta: it seems like most people responding are men. I'm curious if more women have the same mentality as me? Ie empathetic and just want to take up less space?

I feel like growing up, girls are taught to take up less space in order to be considered feminine, and likely, that's my hang-up with all of this. I'm not "manly." i wear nail polish, makeup, and always have my hair looking nice, but I think being bullied in my youth about being tall ("manly," "unnatural," "not feminine" lol) has affected my concert experiences haha.
