Anyone else hates parties?

The worst kind of parties are the ones where you don't know anyone/ don't get along with anyone. I've generally been to alot of good ones but there are also some bad ones.

Last years nye's party was the worst one that I went to, too many strangers and a huge sausage fest. A month back I had been kicked out of my house so I was still trying to get over that. Felt bad all night and very grumpy. It wasn't any fun at all, this year I would rather be by myself than go to a party like that again.

On the opposite side of this, I went to a very memorable 21st a couple of weeks back and I had a wonderful time. Knew alot of the people there, house party (the best kind of parties) and good food.

So, some parties are bad, some are good....

I have always disliked going to parties---so awkward. I usually just stand around in a distant corner trying to figure out what the big deal is. The noise level is usually intolerable too.

I'm not too fond of parties either... always feel uncomfy and can't wait to go home... I do like the food at parties though, but other than that... meh.

People get crazy at parties too, and I feel uncomfortable. If I try to act crazy too, people just get scared of me. Parties, eehhhh. I'm just not made to party.

I hate going to parties and I avoid them whenever possible. Fortunately, we rarely are invited to any unless it's a family-related celebration in which case it's difficult to avoid. In those situations, I just try to find a place to sit, preferably out of the way of the center of activity. I've found that it helps if I have a place to sit down rather than just standing and walking around in the midst of a crowd. I get extremely uncomfortable if I'm mingling; however, if I have my own 'space', I'm far more relaxed and often don't even mind if people approach me to chat.

I've gotten invited to many parties, blew off almost all of them. Theres nothing about them I like.

Noise, drunks, flashing lights, crowds, bad smells, sweaty people, dancing, germs, bacteria, viruses, peer pressure and judgementalism....

If these are the things I immediately think about when the word "PARTY" comes up, then I guess my viewpoint is clear without even answering directly

Parties seem boring. I'm not particularly anxious about being in a party but, honestly, it's not really that much fun to stand around and do pretty much nothing besides visit the food/drink bar. And it's not really fun when everyone ignores you, either. And, nope, shaking my @ss and engaging in small talk isn't my idea of fun.

I like close knit parties with folks I know well, but put me in a roomfull of folks I dont know with loud music and alot of drinking and dancing like they are f**king....and I just wanna curl up into a ball.
My idea of a party is watching art films with my artsy buddies with take out sushi and locally made soda.

being an aspie i have tried achohol and cigs. and they worked for a while but always comes the spiral -everything went down hill from there. you gotta be VERY carteful with what you do at parties or in any setting. from my experience i feel drinking and smoking do nothing but hurt you and the ones you love and they are TERRIBLE for you . my uncle passed from drinking and my grandpa passed from smoking. trust me no good comes out of it.. KEEP AWAY - in other words all these things are are "band aids". they work for a while, but then later the pain always creeps back. one last thing on this is, also i too dont like crowds or loud noises or lots of movement. though i dont mind the loud music and i aslways go to the parties with a friend to have someone to hangout with. this may draw others to you both. try it out.

I don't mind going to parties that are organized by my family and friends. However, I tend to distance myself from heavily drunken people plus heavy smokers at parties in night clubs. Also, the louder the party music gets, the more my ears aches, and the more difficult it becomes for me to converse with people.

I've never been invited to a party.

Yup, I went to that party and it was like any other party. And for me that means awful. I smoked around 10 cigarrettes, which would be more or less the amount i'd smoke in a partiless year. I don't get drunk, It's very hard for me to do that. I'd have to drink a lot in a short period of time in order to start to feel dizzy, and it usually goes away just as quickly. The music and the crowd were too much to handle. Luckily, it was in a roofless bulding, so I could just walk away a little to have the noise reduced to a bearable level and my friends went every once in a while to talk to me so that i wouldn't be bored.

It was not that bad, but I'd prefer staying at home.

What I hate are parties my employer organizes, since I feel pressure to attend.
