    Do you like going to parties and interacting to lots of people or you are someone who sits at the corner of a room?


    I may be social or anti social in parties depending on what kind of party it is. I dont like interacting with relatives basically lol. Everything except that is fine. To be honest, reason I go to parties is yummy food lol

    The last party I went to - which was a Christmas party - was when I was in College (over 10 years ago) and I did exactly that: I sat in the corner of the room the whole time and stroked the cat. I don't like social gatherings...I don't like the music, the food, or the attention. I am much happier in my own company, even when I don't mind the people I'm with.

    Me and parties have a...complicated relationship. I like the thought of being social and around people, especially when it's my family, but during the actual gathering itself I usually just curl up on a couch and stay on my computer. I just feel so awkward in large groups. I try to participate at least a little bit in games and dances, because I do want to be there and have fun, it's just really hard for me to stop feeling so self-conscious for long enough to relax and enjoy myself.

    It depends on the definition of a party and the people involved. Large parties with a ton of people I don't know.. Bad. Awful. Do not like.

    Small parties with my friend groups are great! As long as I have time to recouperate afterwards though, ahaha.

    It depends on the occasion for said party, the venue, and the entertainment

    I personally like to mingle at parties, but if there's hardly any room to mingle, it's not fun.

    The same goes for music/games. I love me a good party game, but when your entertainment is just a guy with a guitar playing the same songs all night, I won't enjoy myself as much.

    I'm not much of a party person, I prefer staying at home.
    Social interaction really tires me out and I usually just try to stay with the person who invited me. I try to branch out, but either the other people there are all friends with each other or I just don't have anything in common.
    However, in a small gathering of my 2 best friends or my sister, I can party all night, so I guess it's just being around strangers and what we're doing.
    Though, the ideal night is still being lazy as hell so somethings won't change.

    I'm a very quiet and introverted person so I'd prefer not to go to parties regardless of what will be offered. They exhaust me far too quickly and I never had an interest in them. Would be the one sitting in the corner and hoping to leave early. Even when we have small family gatherings in this household (an already rare enough case), we all tend to disperse within an hour or so...introverted family as a whole, I guess? : shrug: haha

    Parties? The last time I was at a party, it was a forced school dance. So... not a big fan. ESPECIALLY if there's a gender-based dress code.
    Although if all my friends are going, it can be pretty enjoyable. My friends and I stacked a tower of hats on another friend - I have proof. Ah, middle school... I hate to say it, but I miss it.

    I was about to say exactly this! Unless I have a pre-established understanding with a human friend that I will stick to them like glue, I'm going to instead find an animal to make friends with. I'm a friendly person who's easy to get along with and is generally pleasant, but I am not good at starting off with new people. New animals are different though.

    Truth be told though, I hardly ever go to parties. Maybe if you consider a holiday meal with extended family to be a party, but aside from that, no. Even on my own birthday, I'd much rather just pick a friend to go get lunch with. Singular friend, I don't want a crowd.

    I rarely get invited to parties since I’m not very popular among the kids in my grade and I’m perfectly fine with that because I dislike most of the kids in my grade anyway. Usually if I do get invited, it’s by one friend, who I’ve known for 5 years now and who knows me well. She isn’t a fan of big parties either, so they’re usually a few people there, friends I’ve known for just as long. Those are good parties.
    The only big “party” I can think of that I’ve been to would be the stupid middle school dances. There they blasted music I didn’t like (mostly modern music, with 1 or 2 good songs) and I literally stood either by the food or in the bathroom the whole time, to avoid social interaction. So yeah, I’m not a “big party” person but I am a “small party” person.

    I wouldn't mind if my stamina weren't so low. I get exhausted from doing anything and I have no idea why. I'd probably end up needing to leave and making people feel bad because I got too tired.

    Obviously that would make me feel guilty, so I opt to not go to any.

    I’d like to be the kind of person who enjoys parties, but honestly I’d rather only hang out with a couple friends or stay home. Even going out in a group of seven or so friends exhausts me, and so I consider cancelling my plans a lot. Not to mention I’m not too close to anyone here since I moved a couple months ago, which lowers my motivation to go out even more. I’d rather stick to close friends than feel exposed in a crowd!

    Depends on the type of party. I prefer more intimate settings such as house parties that my choir holds. I’m able to spend quality time with people I know I’ll enjoy.

    Frat parties in college don’t suit me very well at all - I can only stand going to one or two per semester if any. They’re too loud, so you can’t even hear the people you’re trying to have fun with. My enjoyment runs out quickly, and I end up leaving early out of boredom.

    The most I ever do is occasionally get together with friends to hang out and play games sometimes. That's our idea of a party. As far as family events, I try to avoid those whenever possible.

    Parties? Pfft. I've literally only been to one actual party in my life (discounting things like family birthdays and reunions and such) for a friend's sweet 16. Truthfully, I'm really socially awkward, and I like spending my time inside and alone. I mean, I guess parties just aren't my thing >w>

    Ahh, depends on the party. If I'm invited, I'll go. But I'm so bad at being social that I end up being a) very clingy or b) very awkward. My favorite parties are my own birthday parties where I know everyone there. At other parties, I either find a friend/relative/pet, eat food and pretend to look busy, or, at adult-centric parties, hide with the large group of teenagers and laugh at their jokes. They're generally not bad experiences, so I'm pretty neutral on them in general.

    It depends on your definition of parties. But if it is "super high volume horrible probably-misogynistic music blastic all the time, drinking alcohol all the night, 'dancing', staying til 5 am" and stuff like that, well, it's awful. It's just... so boring? I really don't like them. Some of my friends go but honestly I can't bring myself to do it.

    As for other, more calmer parties (?), I don't really like them, but I guess I can stand them.
