Am I the only person who feels drained in social events, like weddings, parties etc.?

CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Of course not.
I despise formal parts, dancing and when music is too loud.
Food and interesting conversations with strangers are fine though.
@CrazyMusicLover I am actually the same

Right there with you. Fortunately (and in some ways unfortunately) I don't actually get invites to any.
The joys of being an introvert!
@mangomonkey wish I don't get invites as well

Sometimes even one on one with friends.

No, of course not! You're probably an introvert. 👍
@Fluffybull people in social gatherings
Fluffybull · F
@darkknightt Just don't go.
@Fluffybull wished more people think like you. There are few events that you can't skip
papadiv · 46-50, M
You're not
And some events based on family or old friends can be with so much pressure sometimes that the fun can't go over this
@papadiv that's right

Good book and well worth the read if you are a fellow "loner":

"Party of One -- The Loners' Manifesto" by Anneli Rufus.

Available on Amazon.

@SW-User I read that one!

No, I feel it too. After spending a lot of time being social I need a full day or so to recover.
I’m like that but I’m trying to become more social. It’s unnatural though
@BeefySenpie it does seem so
supersnipe · 61-69, M
It's something that I will do, because otherwise I'd never go anywhere! But yes, it feels stressful at times.

It’s part of being an introvert, you need time to yourself to recharge.
You are not the only introvert on this planet XD
prettyblue · 22-25, F
same here 😐 I'm mostly there for the food
@prettyblue ohh I get you
Torsten · 36-40, M
nope not the only one. I hate going to events like that. I am really anti social and just dont like people in general.
I have a small group of friends and family i enjoy being around and every so on i meet someone i like the company of, but other than that i avoid stuff like you mentioned as best as i can.
Just talking on a phone makes me feel drained

Absolutely not. But personally I have that issue only when I'm sober 😶
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
Felt 🙌🏻
I never do. But I don't like entertaining for too long so I think I'm a little bit introverted.

@ExperienceDLT the very fact that you don't go explains itself that you are introvert
