Fi Hidden Agenda of SLIs-ISTps

[Park]

Oh god I cringe. I hate parties with a passion. Well...usually if it contains those sorts of people. It's so uncomfortable especially when you only know like 2 people and those 2 people are talking to all their other friends and you don't want to be creepily attached to their leg. I usually end up pretending to text someone on my phone or take like 80 bathroom breaks. I don't know why I even go to these things anymore...I try to be nice and go to things I'm invited to but I think I'm done with that. One time my friend invited me to this huge christmas party where he was the only one I knew...I stayed for 10 minutes then left and when he texted me an hour later asking where I was, went back and pretended like i was there the entire time lmfao.

Same same same. I've done the "pretend I'm texting/reading my emails on my phone" thing.

I find it kind of ridiculous how some people decide whether you're their friend or not based on things like whether you attend their stupid parties where they pay like 0 attention to you. I mean, if they barely notice you or don't give a crap whether you're having a good time or not, what's the point?

I don't know how some people find it so easy to talk to strangers and initiate convos in situations like that. If I don't know anyone, I feel like I shouldn't be there

Yeah, I feel like what the fuck am I doing here... But I've learned how to approach strangers because when you don't know anyone or the ones you know are busy talking and partying with their merry friends, there's nothing else to do. It's either 1)leave; or 2)hope you meet someone interesting and fire up a convo... I try to stay open to possibilities and think that maybe something can come out of nothing, but I usually get impatient and leave before I start feeling like shit for being there in the first place.
