How do you feel about parties?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm going to one on Friday.

I've been to loads when I was a kid, but I had a "proper piss-up" party in November. Invited to the girls' house of course, it went swimmingly.

dreadful bores, dahling...hate them hate them...

I don't go to parties, unless theres alcohol in me. I don't know how to initiate conversation. I tend not to go to them. I don't like greeting people, and saying hi to everyone.

The first party I went to was also the last.

Last party I went to, I spent seven hours sitting in one place, talking to no one. I didn't really have a bad time, though I think I angered the person who invited me. I think my quietness embarrasses people sometimes and I've never really understood why.

Fortunately I needn’t go to any normal parties. But when I had to in earlier times I mostly didn’t like it: Too many people talking too much boring, trivial and mindless stuff.
Besides it seems to me that most normal people can’t have any nice party without drinking to much alcohol. And that makes them talking even more imbecile than lots of them do without it already. I’ll never understand why such a great number (- fortunately not all) of them find it that superb to let go themselves this way regularly and behave utterly embarrassing like total gits (Sorry, but this is my personal experience from lots of those parties I've been to).

Goth parties are much better though.

Uncomfortable. Especially when there's alcohol involved.

PARTIES ARE A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND I HATE THEM.

I'd rather be doing something worthwhile with my day.

I've never been to a college party or even any high school parties. I've been invited, but not interested. I don't drink or dance or talk to people much so there wouldn't really be anything for me to do. If they had games at this party then that would be more my style.

Ok, another party episode. I went to one this weekend, and I spent most of my time in one side room with the few people I knew real well. I didn't have any desire to mingle with the rest of the people there, for I did not know them. I did talk to one guy I hadn't met before who was really nice, but he was a rather "unusual" sort, so maybe that's why ... It ended up as if there were 2 parties going on. One was the rest of the place where everyone else was ( that I didn't care for), and then the room I was in with my few friends I've known for a long time.

I like parties... I hate conversation. Well, hate is too strong of a word. I usually have trouble finding conversations that I am interested in. How many people converse about comic books, history, things fortean, and science fiction at parties? Very few. Luckily the group of friends that I have found through my girlfriend offers good conversation on topics I do enjoy.

But first I have to be in the mood to go out and be there. This past Saturday I went out to a birthday party at a friends house when all I wanted to do was lock myself in my room and veg out. I got so claustrophobic at the party due to the simple sound of voices that I had to leave.

The week was building up to it as I spent all week with my girlfriend on a little vacation, and then worked 11 hour days at customer service. I spent most of my twenties being a happy misanthrope and when I don't get a little alone time in the week, I go batty. Literally. I really began to enjoy doing things on my own with no company, or help from anyone else.

Why don't people understand that some people PREFER to be alone. No matter how much I love my girlfriend and my friends, there are times when I just want to be alone. Why do people have a hard time NOT taking it personally?

Blergh.

That's all I have to say on that subject.

Well, that and that at the last party I went to I may or may not have locked myself in the coat room
for an hour...he.

I hate parties.

Parties are like, unexplainably boring. From my experience, all it is is stupid people trying to get laid. I went to one hosted by people from work the other day which eventually was busted by the police, and everyone got slapped with a MIP after i left.

i hate being anywhere with alot of people who i am unfamiliar with and i really dont get the whole binge drinking, std craving pop culture that most people are into these days either

i prefer small social gatherings with people that i know than large party's.

I'm actually going to a party tomorrow night. And I'm looking forward to it, too! (I'm very outgoing so parties and socialization is no problem for me). I also had a sleepover last weekend, too.
