I'm really scared of going to parties

Sounds like social fobia to me, if it interferes with ur lide, then go with a psych, there"s therapy

I believe parties are over-rated.

Realistically, I believe society has attempted to convince the human herd that "fun" requires attending parties.

Corporate USA encourages this attitude since there is profit and lots of it to be made via the masses drinking alcohol and engorging themselves with food.

And the latest music MUST be played at LOUD volumes.

Sell more music and a LOT of research has found that people talk less and eat and drink more when LOUD music interferes with conversation.

I eventually shunned parties; preferring small gatherings of like-minded folks who actually enjoyed each others company and liked to converse with each other and did not desire the mind-numbing impediment of alcohol, etc. interfering with human interaction.

Do not let propaganda/brainwashing/indoctrination by others be your personal guide as to what is enjoyable!!!!!!!

I got that too! But everytime I do go, I always have a good time! That's what gets me to go! :)

Uea Me2 cause its just easier that way

Social anxiety.

Normal for the above. Don't worry, you have my support.

is it just parties your afraid of? can you hang out in a big group people and talk and laugh and have a good a time then? maybe it's the taunting party seen that scares you, that your suppose to be a riot all the time and be loud and obnoxtious because it's a party. if you treat it like your close friends hang out casually you won't be so scared, and when your comfortable with that it will make ti easier to talk to new people and play games and shit. i find its easy to break the ice at parties when you have past party stories to tell, relax just enjoy a night out!

it's best to always just get a drink first and occupy yourself. socializing is hard so either dance or try to play beer pong or flip cup. Eventually, after an hour or so, hopefully, things should look up and you will naturally find yourself talking to somebody else and enjoying yourself.

I suffer from the same problem... It lies deep inside. Sometimes I don't want to be around my own family. Unfortunately I have to admit to myself that it truly isn't normal.. There are personal events that happen within ones life. I warn you not to allow yourself to be reclusive. You will become isolated, and the people around you will start to be warded off by your prescence. Ask yourself, what it is that makes you uncomfortable. Maybe your conscious is trying to tell you something about the people that you're dealing with. The most important factor here is to try not to give it too much thought, otherwise you will be drowned in it.

When I go to parties I always head for the beer pong table or take part in some type of game like flip cup or apples to apples. I've met some really cool people this way and had some of the best nights of my life. It really helps to break the ice with people and it gives me more confidence, especially when there is competition involved. Try to choose a beer pong partner that you don't already know. The drinking doesn't hurt either. Just try not to over do it. ;)

I Get that problem too? i Get so nervous.. i dont understand why as were all Human lol. But it dosnt stop me feeling like it. Your not the only one.
