So I went to a friend's party last night, and I met a lot of new people. I drank some and smoked some pot, and I just talked and talked and talked. I wasn't remembering what I said a few moments after I said it, I was just talking a lot. In retrospect there were some weird looks, and people saying things like, "woah", or "that's crazy" or "that's intense".

Anyway, I went home at the end of it with an unshakable feeling that I overshared/said a lot of things that I shouldn't have, and that I was seen as a weirdo. It might not even be true, but I sensed a lot of judgment in the air in general, and I don't feel like I connected with anyone there.

The people there were also talking about a lot of shallow/superficial things. People were making fun and doing impressions of the homeless schizophrenic guy who hangs out on the street near their apartment. The conversations were so boring. Everyone was talking about people and fashion. I found the whole affair depressing.

I know I probably won't hang out with them again. I just have this gloomy sort of feeling that I can't seem to shake today. Anything would be appreciated. Commiseration, pictures of kittens... reassurances in the goodness of humanity...

I have been to similar parties with similar results but I have hung out again with the same people afterwards. There wasn't any judgement, all is forgotten. And their opinions shouldn't matter anyway.

Besides it sounds like your topics of conversation were better than theirs if you actually got reactions unlike them. You didn't have to make fun of some luckless homeless guy either.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it even if something happened it will be old news. But I know the feeling. Just keep your head up and most likely nothing at all will come from it.

I agree. They wouldn't give anything you said much afterthought. I sometimes hang around with a group who I find boring; it's good to have the companionship (but only for a limited time.)

That is the most adorable thing I have seen today.
