I don't feel like going to any party

During the old days, I am always having party with friends. Now, I felt tired of doing it. So I started to reform my life of being simple. Though I still go in parties, but it is occasionally.

Its totally up to you whether you wanna stay for the party or you wanna leave for home. But if you are not enjoying party at all then there is no point of hanging out there. The party will go on same way even without you. So don't bother much about party and do what you are comfortable with.

Well in life there moods that we will encounter. At times we are ups and at times we downs. Just recognize and respect your feelings. But its challenging and nice as years pass by go against your tendency to our ourselves more balance

I would like to attend Christmas party the most because you do it once a year. I'm not much of a birthday party fan.

Well, I don't feel like going to a party if I don't enjoy it. Maybe if I am with good company then I know I will enjoy. But sometimes it can be enjoyable to go to a party without knowing who's there. Meet new people, make friends and socialize and improve your ability to mingle with other people. I am sure if I am invited to a party I know I will go no matter what unless it's serious business I am attending. Be open-minded now, see all of the ladies you can meet in the party.

There are people who really are not a party goer.. for them parties are boring and a waste of time..so it is up to you if you should stay or not.. after all you are the one who will decide but for me if you don't want parties then donr go.. don't forced yourself because you will only end up regreting going to parties.. if parties is not your cup of tea so be it..

I prefer to go to parties where my friends will be, even if I still don't know all of the people. I think it's nicer than going to a party with people you only associate with because you work together. That said, I still went to my husband's company Christmas party and had an okay time. No one pushes you to stay later than you want to, though, and there is always a nice dinner. my husband had a good time, though. You will have nights where you feel like being with people and nights where you don't. If I didn't feel like staying for a party, I always had a reason that I had to get home early, like if I had an assignment or an exam while I was a student, or if my parents needed me to help them with something early in the morning, that kind of thing. Your fellow party-ers may not understand or want you to leave because you need to do something early the next day, but it's better than saying that you find them boring or you don't like their friends.

I would not mind staying for a short time to appear sociable. But I myself don't do well in large group situations and feel like the fly on the wall therefore why stick around if only to listen to things rather than participate? I can certainly relate to your feelings in this.

There are a lot of people like you. I don't like being at parties and tend to glue myself to friends rather than mingle among all those scary strangers.

Hi King! I also feel this way sometimes but now I have grown wiser. It really does not hurt if you attend to some of these parties, just to meet new people and another big reason, the food.

Your reason is really VALID at all if that is the case. The reason that you will attend the party it is because you want to relax, enjoy with other people and talk with people who can make you happy, most of the time they say positive things. If you are going to push yourself to a party like encountering arrogant people and the one who will look down on you then there is no really sense of going there because it is like going to the hell. It is not about being an anti social but you have the right to have preferences. Why are you going to the party that people will give you so much stress? Is that what you call a party? In my case I don't like going to the party as well but it is a case to case basis. If I feel I want to go there then I will go to the party. If that is the children's party of my nieces and nephews I would rather prefer that because there are no arrogant people and most of my cousins in mother side are really decent and respectful unlike on my father side they are bunches of stressful people. Just like on the Christmas party in office I didn't join their excursion it is because I don't feel too and yet there are other people that I don't know. Aside from that sometimes there are gatherings and parties that they converse in non sense matter like saying negative things all the time as in 100%. As if they are drunk all the time.

I am not into parties as well but I do not consider myself as an anti social. I have been in that situation before where I attended a party and I am not happy so I left early. I mean, why will I waste my time there if I am no longer happy? No worries, I know some people who are not into party as well. And surprisingly, these people who are not party goers are the one who are satisfied with their lives.

Well as for me,actually I don't like too much party but I will choose some one I liked,such as some sport party and travel thing,so I think that you also should choose some good parties and join them you will love them,always avoid parties will not good for your health both in physical and mental.

I think society dictates that for major holidays we're somehow not doing it "right" if we're not our partying but the truth of the matter is, not everyone wants to participate in those activities. I myself am extremely introverted and parties in general especially during new years are too noisy, loud and obnoxious. Everyone gets wasted and wastes their time talking nonsense that they think is funny because they can't tell otherwise in their altered stupor. I rarely enjoy myself at these functions. I tend to feel a bit ostracized because of this feeling I have towards parties because I am young and society dictates I should love them, but the truth it, I don't have to and you don't either. Spend New Years how you want to and don't let anyone make you feel bad about that.

You're most certainly not alone. I can't speak for myself as I've been out of the work scene for some years, and can't even recall when or if I'd attended an office party. However, I know of people who share the same mindset as you - work is all about money, not for social gatherings. I don't see it as being anti-social, just a difference in priorities or outlook. That said, though, I've read some news articles that say attending office parties can be beneficial to one's career. As long as you don't make a fool of yourself, eg. get drunk & behave badly, your boss will likely take notice of who's there, who makes a good impression. If you have outsiders attend your party, you can even approach it as an opportunity to network. if it were my choice, I'd go but won't spend too long there.

kingparker I think the best thing for you to do is weigh the pros and cons then decide. I didn't particularly care to go to many of the office parties I attended. However, there are some things I felt were advantageous to my position with the company so I put up with doing things I didn't really like. Your co-workers are already saying you need to stay...I think you should make the effort for your jobs sake. You could always leave early and even tell everyone you will make an appearence but have to leave early since you have another engagement...lol I had lots of 'prior commitments... like washing my hair or watching TV...

I don't like these kind of parties either, nor do my children (adult children included) or the friends I have. Guess we are not such a party animals, never been. We all like to stay home, have time for us and do what we like. It's a way of celebrating as well just different. I think it's useless to go to parties if it's just not your thing and you feel uncomfortable.

It's fine for you to be the way you are. Nothing wrong with that. You don't have to force new acquaintances if it's something that's not appealing to you. Stay with your beloved for your own private thing. Invite, if you want, the closest people and the ones you truly want to see. Then, have a blast till the morning, and never forget how good it all was. Corporate parties is something I always disliked myself. Lots of people. Loud and drunken ones. Seeing your co-workers behave that way is pretty disturbing. In fact, you can't look at them the same way after the party is done and much longer after, once you're working with them.

It might do you some good to be social with your co-workers. You sound like Scrooge. There is more to life than making money. Sounds like your co-workers are trying to cheer you up and to help you see the positive side to life. With employment, it is not always what you know, but who you know. Sometimes it is good to socialize in business because it can help you get a better job or a better position. If your manager sees that you are a considerate person who gets along well with others, he may find a full time job for you. Find the best in people, even at work. Look for the good qualities in others.

I am the same exact way. I mean if it is my close friends ill go hang out, but if there is going to be a lot of people there that I don't know I wont even go. I hate having to talk to people that I don't know because most of the time I can't be myself. I can only be myself with my close friends. I would say do what ever you feel is comfortable with you and just know there is other people that feel that same way.
