Do you like parties?

Not a chance that would be me, I prefer Xubuntu.
 
Ha!

The boss i have just now (well one of them) Ive known for about 20yrs, previously worked together then at uni together. Would class her as a friend but as TheMightyTen puts it 'Don't judge everyone by your own social ineptness'

How do you feel about her being more successful than you?
 
Everyone has that separation, you were just more alert and acutely aware of it. No-one has any friends at work, only colleagues.

This is, of course, rubbish. Many people met their partners at work, for example (Including myself) :confused:

As for parties, no, going to a party is not in my top 3 list of things I really love to spend an evening doing but that doesn't mean I point blank avoid any and all. Sometimes you've just got to go, its one of those things in life that you might not love but you still have to do from time to time. It's not exactly the end of the world.
 
It's nothing to do with social ineptness, as you put it. You can have a great time with your colleagues, but at the end of the day you are still at work and given the opporunity they can screw you over to get ahead. You met only because of work, and if you leave the company you are unlikely to remain in contact. We have all done the thing about, "if I leave of COURSE I will remain in contact" but most of us never do.

It's business, not friendship.

Again don't judge everyone by your own self deluded paranoia's, plenty of people make friends in their work life that stick with them throughout their life because plenty of people aren't anal retentive judgemental faux philosophers with a "I'm better than you because I think deep thoughts" chip on their shoulder.
 
While I have many of the standard characteristics of an introvert - I really do enjoy a good party. It's nice to have a change from deep introspective thoughts & get wasted with a few good friends.

As long as I get some time on my own to wind-down after the party I'm more than happy to get stuck into social events.

to some extent perhaps...

"Too many people, too much social pressure, too much forced jollity, too much noise and nowhere to escape to."

the OP seems to have a few social anxiety issues which make him uncomfortable in parties - though if he's perfectly happy not going to parties anyway then perhaps these aren't issues that need addressing
 
I generally hate talking to woman at parties though mainly because i don't have the slightest bit of interest in anything they do :P Watching TV and going to the gym is dull as ****. Get a hobby and do something interesting with your life ffs.

Why are you not invited to any parties with people who share your interests?
 
Parties are usually just a ******* contest between the loudest and most brash members of a friends group. They normally end up with daft drama instead of on a high as well. Due to that, I stopped bothering with them a long time ago.
 
I know a few people who say they don't like parties or social gatherings so instead choose to barely leave the house because they would rather spend their time talking to people on the internet.

I think this is utterly ridiculous. As great as it is speaking to people on the internet, it's no match for being able to hold a face to face conversation with people or know how to interact with other people in a 'real world' environment whether it be a party, over dinner, drinks or whatever else.

Sounds like you need better friends tbh.
