How do you feel about parties?

Post Reply New Topic

I personally hate them, I feel so akward around people I do not know and at a party this is compounded by the fact people expect you to socialize, which I also suck at. This is why I hate New Years and St. Patrick's day. My parents would always throw a party, and I would have to deal with moronic drunken adults untill 2am because there was no way I could get any sleep untill they all left.

This isn't to say I hate being with lots of other people. I just hate being around strangers. Especially drunken strangers. Heck I dont like being around drunken people I know.

For this New Year's I am hoping to get my parents to have their party someplace else so I can invite a bunch of my friends over. A type of party I would actually be comfertable in

i'd have to agree...i don't do well in large groups of people, and that would even have to include my family. and i have a huge family...so they are hard to avoid in large groups...

parties that would involve people i know are bad enough, as for parties with people i didn't know or didn't know very well, well, that would be even worse...i fail so miserably at that kind of social interaction. even clubs can be a horrible experience for me. that is why i rarely ever go to either.

I despise them.

Parties are awful. I despise them with a passion. All those people... crowds... drinking... dancing... socializing. Yeah. Those alone are minuses.

I don't even like parties for me, with people I know. Let alone actual parties.

So I guess it's lucky for me I won't ever get invited.

I HATE PARTIES!

I have to go to one this Saturday. Everyone in my lab will attend. Not only that, so will other labs. And there's also new labs and faculty that have just arrived these past few months. And they saw me in last year's Christmas' party. They are probably expecting me to spend most of the time acting awkward or outside in the cold. And I can't get drunk either. I'm afraid I'll do something stupid and get fired.

AHHHHHhhhHHhhhhhhhhhHHHhhhhhHHHHhhhhhhhH!! !

There were two women who showed interest in me in that party last year. Guess what I did? I freaked out and walked away.

AAAAahhhhhh!

They don't talk to me that much anymore. I avoid them now. It sucks, if only I knew how to have handled those situations.

I HATE PARTIES!! Therefore, you can see that I can easily empathize with your position.

In my younger, dumber days, I used to go to parties, and have a horrible time, and usually drink too much...get nervous? have another drink! Something happen that you don't know how to deal with? have another drink! etc.,etc.,etc.,
Anyway, it's been a long haul, getting to the "to thine own self be true" phase, and I love it!
I don't do anything I don't want to do anymore, just to fit in. I don't care about fitting in, I care about making my own personal quality of life, what I envision it to be. Parties aren't on the "TO DO" list
I've found my happy place and I'm stayin' in it!
Sorry you have to go to a party Psychedelic
***party tip: this time be cool, be conscious of your previous behavior-just keep remembering how you fled before and it'll help you to not flee again, flirt on purpose and don't run away....life is sweeter when you take a chance

They bore the life out of me.
Also, they overwhelm my senses and I can't hear any conversation over the noise. Not that party conversations are worth listening to, or anything.

I love them. They get my pink tail wagging.

Oh I hate parties... Especially work Christmas parties (and other work parties).

Parties are bad enough at the best of times without inviting the most boring people you can find to them.

they make me uncomfortable. I do go, very rarely though. I hate even parties I have to take my kids to. I don't like crowds, I don't like people, especially people I don't know. This past year I've been to 0 parties. My first one will be tomorrow, and I will only stay 1 hour.

I don't really like parties 2 b honest.

This post made me think about me as a kid. I recall one party when I was 12. I hated it so, I went into the kitchen with the adults and sat in the corner on the floor and didn't talk to anyone. No one knew what was wrong with me, and I knew all of these kids so they weren't strangers.

Looking back on it, that was classic aspie. Who knew?

I seem to go against the the grain a little here but I'm quite fond of parties and am actually well known for throwing rather good ones. But then again I'm more of a "I have asperger's, you don't like it then you can fornicate off", officially past caring what the nt population thinks sort of person.

Parties don't appeal to me all that much. I'm just not the social type that can get into them. If I'm there, I always look for something direct to do, like play beer pong or some kind of card game.

I remember this one time I was at a party, people were sitting around & talking, and naturally, I was getting kind of bored. Then, someone came in complaining how the door on the bathroom had come off it's top hinge. I took a look at it and proceeded to have more fun using my problem solving skills to fix it (took some gerry-rigging) than I did since I came. That was a turning point in self-realization for me as my definition of fun was clearly different than most people's. My fun activities require a point & a goal.
