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.
