I wanna run far away..........from my crazy self

whenever im in a party or like a huge group of people all having fun, i start feeling very lonely and sad.i feel left out and like i dont belong. Imagine feeling that when its a party for you. At times ive broken down and started crying. i just felt really bad.like i don't belong.But everyone else will be enjoying dancing drinking having fun.Have i lost my mind? Am i insane? Whats wrong with me? Is it normal to feel like this?

    I usually feel the same way. You need a job at the party. Be in charge of drinks or snacks or something. It'll keep you busy and circulating.
    The best parties I ever attended were the ones I threw for my friends. Try it.

  • Good advice above - another angle: maybe parties aren't entirely your scene.

    Put them into perspective. They can be pretty over-rated and the expectation that you enjoy yourself is huge. I run hot & cold. If I connect - OK - if not - get me the hell out of here!

    Anyway, if you've given it a fair try and just aren't enjoying it for whatever reason - beg off. Don't be hard on yourself by staying & feeling even worse by doing so, and don't dump on yourself for splitting.

    Also try smaller events, like dinner parties.

    Sadly, wherever you go, then "there you are". I understand your restlessness too. You're running from a void of sorts and it won't just go away, nor can you fight it. Give yourself a break, take it easy, and ask yourself if these are issues you would want to address. I don't say this often, but fall to your knees and pray for peace with your entire self. Many blessings!

    Parties and group activities are overrated. I mostly avoid both.

    It's okay to feel that way. I have myself at parties a lot. Like there's familiar faces but they're still strangers.

    Either drink more and loosen up, or don't go to parties. I stopped going 'cause they usually suck. And I don't enjoy drinking anymore. I'm more of a "stoner". But I'm much happier, and no more hang overs. A win-win situation I think.

    But just relax, and try not to let your anxiety get the best of you. <3

    I have the exact same problem. I usually try to talk to my friends or hang around with them, so I at least don't look like I'm lonely. I guess I can't give any more advice because I haven't found it for myself yet! Good luck though, we'll make it through this.

    you should have a partner in this life. the one that make you laugh, smile, feel that you are in a new life again. ((((but choose the right one)))......
