Sorry, but I really hate getting dressed up in suit and tie and jacket and going to "gatherings" and such. Its just a thing with me.

Like, company parties and such are horrible. I just hate going to them. Is this me only?

OP, you sound like you have some social anxiety.


Not really. If i could go in jeans and a t shirt I wouldn't mind going at all. Its the whole dress up thing.

Not necessarily. As I said in response to the "Is it normal to have no friends", I can't stand insincerity on any level. Social events are generally inherently insincere. I understand that some people enjoy them and derive stimulation and entertainment from them, I don't. Much like reality television, these events and the posturing and insincerity that goes on at them make me uncomfortable.

I much prefer intimate gatherings of a few people, the chance for maningful interaction is exponentially greater the fewer people involved IMO.

Exactly! I HATE reality TV. And I just hate getting together with people I will never see again, or people I work with.

Dressing up and ties suck. Holdovers from the powdered wig days.

Ever notice that any movie or tv show in the future shows people wearing identical jumpsuits... It's evolution baby! :)
