It is a really long time ago since I last went to a party - probably over thirty years.
I simply refuse all invitations now.
They get me so worked-up I wouldn't know what to say and what to do. When I have been to parties I just sit in a corner saying nothing and doing nothing. I don't drink alcohol and I don't eat what anyone else is eating. I would just have an orange juice and a packet of crisps. I always had remarks such as 'you're being really quiet' which I was. It is really outside my comfort zone altogether.
And this applies to other social occasions and being 'introduced' to someone for example at work. I just completely freeze up, not knowing what to say.
And knowing how some people misbehave and over-indulge at parties, I'm glad I don't like them. Most people I know have now got the message that I will refuse any invitation.
