    i feel like it depends: is this a party you want to be at or not?

    if it’s a party you don’t want to be at you’ll probably be pretending

    also: if you feel like this on basically a daily basis… yeah you probably have autism, welcome to the club.

      What few people ever mention is … alcohol and sometimes drugs.

      Very few people imagine a party without some intoxicant. Even children’s parties, parents will give a party for the kids but the adults seperate themselves to enjoy a bit of alcohol.

      Just think of it … a party with 20 adults and no alcohol or drugs. Some people can do it but the majority of the population would avoid it.

        “Many respectable physicists said that they weren’t going to stand for this – partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn’t get invited to those sort of parties.”

        you’re just describing a LAN party or a DND session, nerds have had “parties” without alcohol or drugs for ages.

          I agree … Nerds and DND people sound like a sensible bunch because they actually go out of their way to have fun without intoxicants.

          What I’m talking about is the 90% of the population that can’t relate to other humans without getting a little drunk.
