How often do you go on social outings?

Post Reply New Topic

The last thing i remember is the party of the graduation from school like 2 years ago.
The last one i enjoyed was a Metallica concert, but i dont think a concert is a social thing, i mean, it is full of people but i dont interact with them, I am there to listen to the music.

It differs really. I'll probably be inclined to tag along when asked, but I don't take the initiative. Last time was a company outing a few months ago, we went bowling and had dinner which was actually quite nice. Unless a social skills training counts the last time before that was probably when I was 17 when I went with a friend to get something to eat after school (we did that like once a month).

I've been on plenty of social outings. But there has always been at least one family member with me. (Even in a group of people at least 1 would be a family member).

So, the answer would be: I have never gone on a social outing with someone who is not in my family.

There is no option on the poll for me.

The question is "how often do you...", not "have you ever..."

Therefore I have been on social outings in the past, but for a long time now, haven't. So I would choose pretty much never, as it is applicable to my situation now.

About twice a month on average, I think- although this last month or so it's been more. I met a friend who'd just come back from working in Africa for lunch last week, and as it's Six Nations Rugby season I've been meeting friends in the pub to watch the games. It does get a bit overwhelming noise wise at times in the pub, but I just go outside for a cigarette for a while to take a break from it. I'd say that the main reason that I have utterly failed every time I've tried to give up smoking, it's an escape!

Depends on time of year as I'm in university - during term time maybe once a month or even less when it's coming towards the end and I have exams. During breaks usually twice a week or more. I answered 'twice a month' as an average in the poll.

You need to add one more: I hate social outings and will not go to one if I can get out of it. Being social seems to be more of an NT characteristic than an Aspie characteristic.

I like socializing. But other people tend not to like me/think I'm weird/etc. So I have to not do it despite liking it.

Social outings = spending money on memories...who does that? Same with vacations = spending money on memories.

Money cannot be wasted in this manner.

There wasn't an option for "Never" so I chose "Once a year".
