Do you EVER attend any parties?

Yes, there were 8 people, myself including and two cute dogs belonging to the hosts One of the guests did fell out of the hanging egg chair - more precisely, it was the egg chair that fell and the man fell out. Luckily, nothing wrong happened to him. But he did sit in it again to prove it to the rest of us that it's safe to use it... and then the egg chair fell AGAIN

When I joined Mensa 45 years ago, I found that much of the social activity was at parties at different houses. I would arrive about 15 minutes early and help the hosts set up. After people arrived I would visit briefly as people arrived and after 20-30 minutes leave. I found this a way to manage social engagement with less stress.

Simple answer...nope

Parties aren't an issue for me, so if I'm invited, I'll go to a birthday party, or some holiday party.

I don't. Generally, I wouldn't know anyone there so there wouldn't be anything for me to do. I wouldn't have a reason to talk to anyone since I don't know anyone.

I don't mind parties, although I'm not big on them either.

The worst that can happen is making a fool of myself and it's not like that's never happened before.

The only parties that i go to are the ones hosted by family. Nobody outside of my family have ever asked me to come or has invited me to their birthday parties.

But to be honest, i really don't mind that. I like to be alone and not have to interact with other humans that much, i like spending times with humans online more so than in person. I don't want to try to appropriately interact with both my family members and friends anymore than i have to, it's exhausting.

But i don't know about the rest of you guys, what you think and if you even want to stay to yourselves.

The threshold for appropriate behaviour varies from party to party, depending on the friends. It's easier when the threshold is lower.
