Of all the posts up till now, this one is the most difficult. I am not a party person at all. I stay as far away from parties as possible. Forget about the year 2010, I dont have example of one social gathering that I thoroughly enjoyed in all my adult life. Another insight into 'being me' for sure.
I tried hard to remember, any form of social gathering, may it be in my high school, amongst friends, in medical school, at work.. I have never been in a fun party. First of all I try and avoid going to the parties as I invariably end in a corner where I can hide myself. I feel very conscious of my lack of socializing skills. I do not know how to start talking with strangers and I think even bigger trouble is how to talk about something light, funny and casual. I have terrible sense of humour,most of the time I dont get the jokes at all. if there is a loud music in the party, it makes it even worse. I can barely hear others talking and that makes conversations harder. I have been caught yawning in some corner in parties on pictures by my friends. I can not dance, that is another difficulty. I am not at all confident and want to disappear somewhere or go invisible.My party discomforts are so well known in my social circle that these days I hardly get invites.
May be this should change in the year ahead. I want to experience this party life. I have had friends in Mumbai, who partied 5 nights a week. It is quite funny but I have never experienced night life in Mumbai even though I spent 23 years of my life in this city. It is time to catch up. I have not seen the night life of Amsterdam either. I am not a night person. I prefer to stay at home with a book or just have a friend or two over for dinner or drink and that is my idea of a nice evening. I need to explore this aspect of life before rejecting it completely. 2011 will be a big party time for me and it starts from the new year's eve. I will be with my very close friends in Amsterdam bringing in the new year..
Where is the party tonite?
