Do truly sociable people hate parties?
Parties are what should make people happy, sheer communication fun and laughter and generally just a reason for getting together. Yet some of us have a particular fear of them - which we're made to feel very bad about, as if this was a sure sign of being an anti-social and unfriendly person. But is the person who doesn't like parties truly anti-social ?
Questions:
1. Do you like parties?
2. What is it that you like/dislike in parties?
3. Can you think of a more pleasant and effective way of social interactions?

I prefer to go out for a beer or eventually invite some people I know home. Meeting new people at the parties is fun but sometimes if I come to the party where everyone knows everyone, it's not easy to make some new friends.
Other ways that I like to spend my free time with other people are activities that enable us to explore new things and ideas. So group trips are definitely the way to go. Another example that I can think of are hackatons - these are usually weekend-long events during which designers, artists and programmers get together to share ideas and create prototypes of new applications and projects. It is a very fun and enjoyable way to meet new people, learn about them and the way they approach problems and hopefully create something new and meaningful.
In parties with my friends I like the fact that when I come without humour I always go out with double humour. In addition, you can always get to know someone new. What I don't like about parties is that I'm always tired after them.
Another way of social interaction is team sport. Additionally, we can always meet someone at work or at a university.
Another thing are events that rely on some interactions with other people.
I think they are helpful for people who are introverts. Through various games, they can tell about themselves and open themselves to others. Thanks to this, people who do not have such problems can see the values of others.
When it comes to other ideas for social interactions - I think that groups of common interest that require discussion are a good idea - such as academic science circles at universities, or movie discussion clubs. Those are the places where you sometimes have to express your own ideas and opinions, so you let yourself be known to others. On the other hand, you are surrounded by people similar to you in the sense that you share common interest.
I like in the parties that I can meet with my friends, we can talk, we can dance and spend enjoying and relaxing time together. :)
Hm... Nothing comes to my mind. I think that a parties are a good ideas to make relationships stronger among you and your friends. You can also meet some new people on parties which is another adventage. As I was saying I don't have interesting proposition but I will happily read another comments to learn what propositions and ideas other students have had.
Hmmm, you can meet new people everywhere: school, work but parties are the best. It works for me.
I don't like the model of parties that described on video. But I like small parties without or with minimal amount of alcohol, and dedicated to some action like board games.
2. What is it that you like/dislike in parties?
I dislike parties because of their main goal to get drunk or pick up a drunk girl.
3. Can you think of a more pleasant and effective way of social interactions?
To connect people with common interests or for some new engagement for all, so they can know each other better.
Nowadays there is a high trend to pose as a anti social person, that
generally dont like parties at all but rather prefer to enjoy their
anxiety and depression.
Of course I do like parties. What life could be without time to
chill out, drink and have a laugh with your closest friends?
Discoteques and night clubs the best way to interact with other people.
For a straight man, the best thing to keep him warm at night is to be in the arms
of the woman.
Yes, i do like parties a lot. Especially when i have a tough week and then i can mellow out with friends. But i’m not that fan of parties where i don’t know anyone, because i can’t be totally relaxed on them.
2. What is it that you like/dislike in parties?
I like meeting friends, spending time togheter listening music and discussing about more or less important stuff
3. Can you think of a more pleasant and effective way of social interactions?
I wouldn’t say it’s more pleasant, but playing computer games togheter is for me also very entertaining and i like it as much as parties.
I love that the wilder, more chaotic party gets the more fun most participants have with it. I also enjoy seeing how ppl react to unconventional situations eg the toilet is on fire. Many participants show at least part of their true self when things get chaotic and unpredictable, even more so if they are drunk,tipsy.
Naturally while being surrounded by chaos is not the best way of socializing with people. Depending on what we want to achieve and how big the group of participants is , walk in a park, picnic, going to a game room(bowling etc), or even extreme sports and stunts like skydiving might be a better ways to socialize with people. Since im a game r i would also add lan party, there is nothing more socializing than a lan party for avid gamers.
The advantage of home parties is that, in addition to drinking alcohol, you can prepare something cool to eat or spend time playing board games.
The biggest disadvantage of home parties is that you have to be careful with the music volume, because after a certain time the neighbors can knock on the door.
I often try to spend time actively with my friends. For example, ride on roller skates. What's more, I try to go with them to various events like breakfast markets or exhibitions.
2. I actually enjoy being slightly drunk the most. That state of intoxication helps me enjoy even the stupidest of things. And good mood is all that matters. Things that I dislike are only those that test my social skills.
3. Performing activities such as bowling, pool, rock-climbing or even gaming together. Sharing hobbies.
2. I do like parties with people that I know well, because sometimes it's not comfortable to be on a party, where you do not know anyone. I do not like parties with people, that are aggresive after few drinks.
3. Right now I can't think of any.
What I like the most about the parties is that I can spend some time with my friends without having to worry about anything else in the world (work, studies, etc.) It also points the things that I dislike about them - they're pretty hard to organize once we realize that everyone has a lot of stuff to do at all times. I also need to add that I dislike cleaning, I really do.
I can't really think of anything better since I understand the term 'parties' as something pretty broad. What else can be better than spending time with people we like and doing what we like to do, without having to worry about anything?
For me, everything depends on interests. Parties after the presentation of new films, theater performances, in art galleries. Also, I consider interesting parties on forums, for example "novelties of technical development". That is, I really like the places where it is interesting to communicate with other people and for this it is not necessary to wear the mask of another person.
Second thing is the security. Party at home is just easier, you can drink as much as you want and even if you pass out some people will take care of you (if you have good friends lol). After all you can sleepover usually and go home fresh and clean, not tired and wasted.
It depends form party. I notice that my taste is changing with age. In general I like parties, but sometimes I choose to spans that time in other way.
What is it that you like/dislike in parties?
Mostly people. But not people in general. If people on the party are cool then the party will be good. But in other case not.
Can you think of a more pleasant and effective way of social interactions?
I think meeting with friends is more pleasant way of social interaction.
Don't do that!
I do like parties
No matter what type of a party we’re considering - other people are always the key factor which makes a good party. When it comes to public parties I like to go to a club from time to time but I am not the kind of person who is partying every weekend. I like parties which are organized by some association (e.g.: student network) because you can predict more or less what kind of people will appear and number of participants is restricted.
I consider outdoor/sport activities as a great way to relax and meet new people. Sailing trips, gym classes or ski camps to name just a few.
I like meeting people, I like to play. At the party, you can have fun in various games, forget about sad things. I do not like at parties that it can get out of control for something to happen
I think so. We currently have a lot of online games or a lot of attractions in the city, such as going to the cinema, going to play mini-golf or football.
When I am a host, I hate mess in my apartment after a party and of course hangover.
Not really, party is always a good idea :)
Cleaning can be fun with friends too, everything can be fun with friends, friendship is magic after all. Alkohol for some reason is made to be the aim and reason of some parties, and that is depressing too at least for me.
My alternative way of interacting with people and enjoying spending time with them is by playing computer games. Usually, I met with friends on Teamspeak channel and we enjoying the time by playing together.
In parties I like the most the fact that I have the opportunity to spend great time with my friends and just know what is happening in their lives. The thing I dislike the most about parties is that, the fact that they take place late at night makes me feel tired the next day.
For me the best way to spend time with my friends is going on a trip. New experiences together with friends makes that you have more in common with them.
You know, you can always meet some interesting people and have some fun in general. What I dislike about parties is coming back home, when you don’t have your transport and of course - hangovers ;).
Yes, I love playing internet games with my friends. Esport all the way!
