People who've been to a (regular) party, what do people do there? (self.asklemmy)

By "party", I mean a physical social gathering of people for the purposes of having fun. It may be used in a sentence as "I am throwing a party!" or "Let's party!".
Basically what I am trying to say is the default "party".

I've never been to any, and I have no idea how people spend their time on parties, so I am curious how you did.

I think stay home and get drunk by yourself. It's the only way to guarantee you won't say something slightly embarrassing and then dwell on it for the next week

Now I want to know how you act when you're drunk. I mean, if you get drunk anyway, just blame the liquor. :taps forehead:

It's not even just drunk. I have bad anxiety and it's not usually worth it to hang out with people. I just always dwell on it and wonder how weird I seemed or something from the anxiety. It takes all the fun out of it

Thanks for clearing that up. I suppress my urge to give you my thoughts on that, because I'm afraid my attempt at being 'helpful', would be to similar to telling someone to smile, when they are depressed.
And for all I know, you could already be way happier with your life than I am with mine.
Anyway, live long and prosper
