In the past, in parties I just left and didn’t give a fuck . Period. And if anyone asked me later I said I had a great time but at one point it was enough fun.
I used to do what we called backdooring it as in you just leave without telling anybody. That way you don’t have to deal with all the drunk people saying “come on just stay a bit longer” etc.
It’s called the “Irish Exit”, actually, because we’re all sociopaths and have no time for pleasantries. I assume.
I thought the Irish exit is when you’re so drunk you just wander off, coz that’s what I used to do hehe.
That sounds like a plausible origin story too. Too drunk for pleasantries.
I still do something similar. Grab my stuff, get ready to go and when I am at the door, I give a “Goodbye everybody” and leave right away.
No time for arguing, just letting people know that I am leaving alive.
As me :) hahaha i didn’t knew there is a word in english for that
Yeah it’s pretty common in my friend circle.
I could say to Ste “Where did you go last night” and he might say “Aww bro I had to backdoor it me, had enough”.
In my circle we call this an Irish Goodbye, and it is celebrated.
Honestly as your run-of-the-mill introvert I wouldn’t even go to a party
I’ll go, but I just hover around the outside the action and watch.
“They don’t know I didn’t even come to the party and I’m at home playing video games.”
Tf is meant by “alphabetise something”???
Like organize (alphabetically, but that’s not necessary since this is really just a metaphor) something kinda pointless but satisfying like a bookshelf of books or recipes or my assorted drawers of labelled usb cables lol
Thanks 👍
As someone who has developed extreme smell sensitivity due to a disorder, not wanting to be around other people because of the way they smell is something I totally get.
People really do not know what they smell like. And a lot of people do not smell good. Not just because of some lack of bathing either, maybe some other choice, like they really love spicy food and you can smell it on them or they’re wearing what they think is an attractive perfume and is definitely not.
It’s insane to me that someone who has trouble socializing would force themselves to go to parties. Maybe it’s something I’m too autistic to understand. Disabilities are suppose to get you out of doing shit. For example I use my epilepsy to never step foot in a club cuz lights. I’m not even photosensitive 😂
For the longest time I would try to push myself out of my comfort zone. I thought eventually my feelings about doing “normal people stuff” would change. They did not.
I felt this in my soul. Never seen anyone else express this so thanks for helping me feel less alone in that department
Just tell people you don’t like dancing, or karaoke, or whatever enough times and eventually they internalize it. I spent years cultivating a reputation with my friends and now I can just vanish for an hour at any party and nobody bats an eye. Need my “me time”. New people sometimes think I’m cold or don’t like them but they either learn and that’s cool or I don’t see them again and it doesn’t matter.
Because sometimes I can have a lot of fun if I’m feeling up to it. It just depends on my mood or whatever at the time, I can’t really predict or explain it.
Honestly, leave off the overwhelmed and they’ll all question whether they shouldn’t leave the party too!
