Do you like to rumble about or do you prefer to stay at home, gaming through the night? For me it´s simple. While I do enjoy the occasional night out, my favorite thing to do on Friday and Saturday nights is of course gaming! *mirocu goes nostalgic* Aah, those long hours with Deus Ex in the early years of 2000. I could be out with friends but the only thing on my mind was "Here I am when I could be at home, playing Deus..." And when I have been out I never go totally crazy and I never get drunk, so that´s why I don´t see me as a party animal. I didn´t include a Sometimes option in the poll because I want to know what you usually do. If it´s a 50/50 then just pick what you feel like atm This post has been edited by mirocu: Jul 16 2013, 04:11 PM

I'd rather be alone almost any day of the week. It is rare for me to actually want to party.
People will call me up and invite me somewhere and I'll tell them I'm busy, even though all I'm busy doing is watching TV or playing a game on the Xbox.
Much like Mirocu, I have been at parties where all I could think about was wanting to get home and play some games or watch a movie. Especially when I've just gotten a game like Morrowind, Skyrim, or Fallout. All I can do is count down until I can leave and spend some quality time interacting with artificial worlds.
It is less common for me to blow people off now but I'm older, have more responsibilities, and have fewer friends because of this.

QUOTE(Pseron Wyrd @ Jul 16 2013, 03:17 PM) I was once a musician who traveled around the country. I met new people all the time, went to parties with them, did drugs with them, had sex with them. I'd wake up not knowing what town I was in or the name of the person snoring next to me or what chemical was responsible for my massive headache, ect. Teach me, Master. (That goes against the jist of what you're saying, I realize. No disrespect intended.) That being said, your thoughts determine your reality in my short, limited experience. I am not necessarily a 'social butterfly' but I am much more outgoing now than when I was in my late teens and early twenties. Girls would smile and flirt, and I would shut down. People would say 'Hello' or 'Good Morning' and I would look down at the ground. Few friends I had would try to get me to be more sociable. To no avail. Then, I forced myself after reading an article on smiling. Turns out if you smile, even if it is false, you're actually drastically rewiring your neurons. The act itself changes your response to things. You begin to smile genuinely soon after. I was tired of being miserable, so I tried it as an experiment. I figured if I was ashamed of doing it by myself with no one looking, there had to be a problem. I was, and so I was determined to fix it. So I practiced smiling. There's a similar therapy technique, where one is advised to wear a rubber band around their wrist and to flick themselves whenever they find they are having angry or frustrated thoughts. The minor pain associates the thoughts with something unpleasant. Basically, don't just openly accept anyone. But, think of what you enjoy, find your bliss/balance with other people. Cup of coffee at the local joint never hurt anyone...usually. Unless you spill it. Get iced just to be safe.

I have yet to experience that! I have never been comfortable at parties since I don´t drink and go crazy. And since I don´t drink and go crazy everyone looks at me and thinks ´"why the hell is he here if he doesn´t drink?" Those kind of parties don´t do much socially for me, so I stopped going to them. It may mean that I miss out on great persons, but I don´t feel I can do much about that. I just don´t belong there
