Apparently an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but it’s actually nice to have friends and socialize.

In my experience, you’re describing a bar or club more than a party. Most of the parties I’ve been at were well lit and music at a volume that allowed for conversation.
Having friends and socializing is fun, but I don’t necessarily want to do it for 5 consecutive hours. Even at a party, it’s nice to take a break and let my mind rest for a bit.

She’s the only person on that party worth talking too…
I wish that was me and a dog
Dog also works well. Then, when it’s time to hit the 'ole dusty trail, skip saying farewell to those you know with the trusty “Irish goodbye”.
Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here’s a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.
Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren’t just NPCs in our personal storyline. They’ve got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it’s with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?
(Unless you’re allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)
