The College Parties.

Post Reply New Topic

I don't go to college parties.

However, I go to (probably louder) dance music concerts.

I don't stand in the front rows, because that's where all the insane drunks are.

I prefer to get a spot in the middle of the floor or in the balcony.

I tend to go with up to 10 of my friends that go to concerts...

...to listen to the music and dance.

Many people treat performances like excuses to get drunk and show the worst of themselves.

Hello. There is an artist on stage performing the fruits of their creativity, effort, and artistry for you.

Why can't you respect that?

I've been to a few parties. Seems like people were getting drunk for the sake of getting drunk, and well, I didn't drink and promptly left. It just didn't seem fun, to me, at least.

I don't like those parties. The few I've been to were boring beyond belief which means: loud music, people getting drunk, people talking nonsense, doing weird stuff without sense, standing, sitting or dancing.
For me, no proper converstions are possible in such an environment, there's just too much noise and the smells are overwhelming to. All those things have a claustrophobic touch for me. That's not enjoyable and I have no purpose in being there.
But that's the way most people socialise in college or high school. As some have mentioned sometimes it even seems that the purpose of all is getting drunk or otherwise in a different state of consciousness. Maybe the cause for this is, apart from socialisation, release of stress.

This is my take as an aspie in hs that has been to college level parties (these are a mix of observations and experience):

DO NOT TOUCH BOOZE! Stick to smoking hookah (nice relaxing activity and the smoke smells good) or if it suits you weed. Go to what I call "friend parties" where you will know most every and not "mass parties". If you go to a mass party you can trust no one! Just don't do it....... They are also WAY overwhelming. Also too much tobacco will make you shake.

Also I find kayaking/canoeing or other out doors activities beat the hell out of parties but that is just me.

I've always kind of liked the crazy atmosphere of a college party and big parties in general as long as they're people i feel know me and feel comfortable to be myself around who don't make me feel out of place.

I loved college parties.

Preferably, I like more relaxed parties. Big parties are very chaotic and overwhelming. I'd rather be at a party where there was some alcohol, maybe some grass, and everybody just relax and chill with some drinking games. The first party I legit got drunk was just a small little party of like 9 or 10 people. We got really drunk, played some drinking games, and just had fun. There was no like like music or a huge crowd, just a group of friends enjoying ourselves.

I like drinking games; they give some structure to the party and I do enjoy the buzz of alcohol.

I indeed dislike mass parties with extremely loud music and where I don't know 98% of the people! Even if I'm drunk, I'm at least AWARE that I'm drunk and so I always try to behave as "well" (read: sober-like) as I can under the influence of the alcohol, because so many people have done terrible things while drunk! When I do engage in some questionable behavior while drunk, upon regretting it upon sobering up I at least LEARN from that drunken mistake, and don't engage in that behavior again no matter how drunk I get!

As for weed... if that's available, I jump on it! It makes the music (even if too loud) immensely satisfying and I cease to care if I socialize at all there! If it's a "mass" party in which MEANINGFUL social interaction is impossible, I don't even try if I'm stoned! At a "mass" party everyone's way too busy shooting the s**t (or trying to get into each other's pants!) to judge me! At worst I come off as drunk, which is to be expected at the party!

My ideal with weed, though, is to do stuff ALONE or else have a nice, MEANINGFUL conversation with just a few people. (the former allowing me to get more stoned than the latter, though.)

Other than family parties or birthday parties, I never been to a "party" in my life, but I doubt I would have any fun.
