what do you think of parties?

Post Reply New Topic

does anyone actually like parties but not the loud music and crowdes? What do you think about parties and get togethers like with family. Is it ok for an autistic person to like parties?

doggies and nice cookies where the only thing that made my going to cousin's 21st birthday slightly worthwhile.

i like meeting up and hanging out with people i know, friends but i'm not all that comfortable around family for some reason. i don't understand why people would play music where you have to raise your voice to chat properly, and i would have thought that the organizers would have have the common sense to not play such explicit songs in a family setting. i don't know her that well but she doesn't really seem like the 'my party, my rules' kind of person.

I think parties are dumb, all these NT preps, drug addicts and loud music make me cringe. I hate it when my friend brags about being invited to a party by a "hot" (12 year old) girl when in fact he's a virgin wuss who only brags about having more friends than me

I like small get-togethers, when me and a few friends get drunk and play video games, but I'm not big on parties with crowds of people and loud music and all that BS. I mean, it can be kind of fun to get stupid wasted when there are other people around, but I'd rather it be with close friends than with random strangers.

I can't understand what anybody is saying most of the time. Any music or background conversation makes it impossible. A noisy party just makes me feel like screaming.

I like getting pissed and stoned, listening to music and bands, DJ's dancing and meeting girls for sex are all good.
If it wasn't for parties I would have had no girlfriends, no sex and little fun.
If it wasn't for parties half of us would not have been conceived.
Oh wait....

I think it depends on the party. If I'm surrounded by friends, people I know, people I'm comfortable around, I'll have a damn good time. If I'm around people I don't know and people I feel I need to put forth an effort to be social around, I'll have a miserable time.

I hate parties. When I am drag along to parties, I feel miserable. The amount of people and noise overwhelm me. I usually go hide in an empty room or corner to hide from all the people and obnoxious noises. I hate parties.

I hate parties and I always did. I just can't take the noise, the loud music and the big number of people.
But if you consider parties, like dinner with my family for Christmas for example then I'm ok. But everything else is out of the way.

Something like a small birthday party is okay I guess. But a big party lots of loud people and loud music and all that I'm sure would cause me to have a meltdown or shutdown.

Obviously it's fine for anyone to like parties but personally I'd rather have a lobotomy.

I'd rather shoot holes in my feet than go to a party.

I like small-group gatherings with a central focus like a game or a movie or something. Music is okay, but, in this setting, I prefer for it to be soft and in the background.

I used to get together with a group of (roughly) the same people (roughly) every week for (roughly) 3 years. We followed the same general pattern of having dinner, casual conversation (I typically just ate food and made inappropriate jokes) and played a rousing game of poker. There were several times when we had far more people than typical and I found these parties overwhelming and confusing and I wound up overindulging until I "fell asleep" on the earlier side.

In general I am uncomfortable with parties - - unless it is just a small informal get together of people I know. A large party - I tend to avoid. Although I might occasionally cope with the whole thing if I can find one or two people to kind of hide away in the corner with and talk about a serious subject of mutual interest.

Maybe you can try attending several parties to see whether you enjoy it once in while or more frequently-whether it drains your energy in the long run or not. Also it depends on with whom you are socializing in these parties-your types or other types.

I find parties really enjoyable. I don't always like the crowds and socializing, but I love the food and hanging out and playing games. And this may seem strange for an Aspie, but I love loud music. The louder, the better, for me.

I've always gotten really excited before family get-togethers. Lately, though, they've been a bit stressful, because of my emotional sensitivity and anxiety.
