Parties

Post Reply New Topic

As the title says.

I don't like going. Especially now that I no longer drink. I have gone to a few over the years with one of my close friends. If people don't "pull me in" to their conversation I remain quiet.....

I enjoy going to parties. I'm planning on having a tasteful party at my place, sometime this year. I think that summer would be the best.

I'm okay with parties if they don't have too many people, have enough space that I can at least have distance if not privacy, or I have a private space I can retreat to. I enjoy the party itself, but I always end up feeling burned out if I can't take breaks from people.

And I prefer to deal with maybe 1-3 people at a time, at most, and three is kind of pushing it (it's okay if I know them but if I don't, ugh).

I don't, especially big loud parties with strobe lights.

I don't really care for parties at all. In fact, I'm currently being pressured by multiple people to have a house-warming party and I'm absolutely dreading it.

OHHHHH MAN!! !! !! ! Ironicnally I do like partys and usually Im always the center of attention everytime I go to one. One example is my new years party, I danced around and goofed around with my friends and family. another one is my aunt's wedding last year. I pretty muched danced around for like hours non stop.

hope none of you are jealous about what I truthfully said since you said people with AS are not party go getters.

Nope. Too loud. Too many people. To much conversation about nothing that interests me. And I always say at least one thing that should not have been said.

I like them as long there is alcohol and hot boys.

I like them as long as there at least a few people that I know present

You forgot to add the following reply:

"Hahahahaha!! You're joking right?"

I dunno. Maybe the after party of a Marcel Marceau convention would be tolerable.

I rarely go to parties, mostly because I'm rarely invited to them.

Sometimes there is a party. Around where I live "party" entails small gathering with alcohol and probably awkwardness. It's why a lot of people go up to Canada for real parties and clubbing. However, this is perfect for me. Alcohol has a strange effect where suddenly I'm social and my sensory issues go away for a little bit. So, parties are kind of fun.

It depends what they are. I enjoyed going to birthday parties as a kid because of the games and goody bags and the food and cake and I liked seeing what presents the birthday person got. But when I had one of my own, I was miserable so I never had one again. Maybe if I invited a very few guests that may have been different and I would have been so much better. For some reason I cannot handle lot of people if it's my own. Same as baby showers. But if they are someone else's, I do fine and I don't get all bitchy and over whelmed.

I have gone to a few parties my autism group has thrown. One was Halloween and the other was new Year's Eve and not many people showed up but more showed up for Halloween. Those were fun.

I have gone to my work one and that was boring. They had games there and activities but they were for kids only and the party was mainly for chit chat so my husband and I left. Then just recently my current work place had one and it was also for chit chat but I had my Nintendo DS with me and it was at the all you can eat place and I had two plates of food, one was with desserts. Then we went to another party that day which was a birthday party for our nephews and I also played my game. I felt a little overwhelmed because of all the chaos and noise and then I felt so much better after I ate pizza. It was also a chit chat party while the kids played in the play area.

I will never have a party in my own apartment. My husband is saying yes to it for our boy and I am so against it. Kids don't need parties and he is saying they do too but I did fine without them and I hated mine when I had one. I do not want all these people in my home. It be heaven if he invited like three kids only or four. I have grown to despise parties based on what happened in my teens when my brothers would have them. Now I want nothing to do with them in my own home. I never want to go back.

I was never really into parties, but I've been going to a lot of parties since I've been in college. I don't know if I'd call them crazy or not, though.
