Is it normal that i don't like partying?

I'm at my freshmen year of college.

Most of my friends (and my floor) have been to parties. Mostly frat parties, a few rare times they went to clubs. I've been to one party at the beginning of the year and all that happened was a lot of people I don't know showed up and drank alcohol.

I asked other people about it and they think that parties are the shit. What's so good about them? What's so good about alcohol? It's a depressant so it doesn't make you feel better. It certainly doesn't make you make better decisions. I don't see the point of meeting strangers for fun.

      clubs and bars are fun, house parties not so much. usually too much drama.

      great for blowing off steam though. hell maybe even making out with a random person.

    It's mostly because when people drink, they loosen up and become outgoing which makes socializing fun. It's nice to be in an environment where you can approach people and have nothing to lose. And if you do say something stupid, just blame it on the alcohol.

    But you are right: the quality of social interaction is not that great. I don't do it a lot and sometimes I feel like everybody is trying too hard and they use alcohol because they are incapable of socialization. Moderation is key. Too many people have nothing to bring to the table other than their ability to party

    Normal. I am the same way. Parties sometimes interest me, but then when I get there, I easily become bored. I guess I'm not a party animal...

    Third.

    I don't want to party either and it is often lonely as my fiance and I tend to be the only people we know in our neighborhood that doesn't.

    parties are fun every once in a while. i only think so because it feels good to get all dressed up and feel like you look hot. because on a regular basis i will not take the time to put on heels and makeup.

    as a girl when i go out i get hit on a lot which is a confidence booster. and when i drink alcohol, it makes me forget about all of my stresses and relax. i feel great!

    but like i said, in moderation. after a while it is all too repetitive. getting hit on is only flattering when you don't get hit on all the time. and drinking alcohol gives you hangovers and beer guts. the quality of your interaction with others is also very low and very shallow. every once in a while its fun to just go out and be stupid but for the most part I prefer intellectually stimulation conversations and guys that don't drool

    You're probably introverted. Why party when I can chill at my house (or dorm) and enjoy my alone time? I feel the same way. You're normal.

    Most people do it because it's fun for them but some just try and act cool and join because they want to fit in. Don't worry about those stuff, I suggest to find your own mate that doesn't like partying as well.

    Though, I'd have to say. Meeting strangers are kind of fun.

    if you're the kind of person thats been through the whole party thing then its whatever and you're entitled to your opinion because you've obviously experienced and burned out with it

    but if you're an anti-social kid who doesn't have many close friends, has never tried alcohol and is only making this post in an attempt to justify your insecurities, I would highly suggest trying to coming out of your shell.... your life may change for the better

      being anti-social simply means anti-society. society can be good or bad, it depends what society you're talking about. besides, you're describing someone who is introverted, not anti-social. that's perfectly normal, as it is to be extroverted where you are outgoing. people who are introverted aren't insecure with being alone, they genuinely are happier and find spending time with others to be a waste of their time, just like extroverts are genuinely happier with people whereas they find being alone a waste of time. you can't prove that this person's life will change for the better by forcing themselves to do something they don't like in an effort to fit in with the rest of the mindless masses of cattle out there (called "society"), because most people don't think for themselves and just do all of these things in a pathetic effort to appear cool, which is another pathetic effort at acceptance from the masses. if you were born in a different culture at a different time, that which was socially "cool", etc. could very well be something totally different from something like today (clubs, bars, partying, alcohol, drugs, etc.). so no, you are completely wrong on this one. being a loner has nothing to do with being insecure. i could use the same logic that being social is masking your insecurities by trying to gain the acceptance of those around you rather than having courage and being an individual.

    you need to drink more. because its a deppressant doesnt mean it doesnt make you feel good. I dont go to alot of parties. But really, at least give them a good try, or drink with friends. i like taht more.

    OK... well I'm suprised bout all da comments I mean I thought most of da people would say dat they like partying and dat its fun and stuff. I got invited to a house party by my college mates, when I got to da party I only knew a few people from there but it was still fun and I made new friends. Maybe people like you just need to get out more, you never know you might enjoy yourself but don't get too wasted though... ^_^
