Am I missing out?

I have gotten to that age (18) where people party every friday, but i have practically never gone to a party. I don't see the point, but I also feel (insert negative words here e.g. uncool).

I mean yesterday evening I went gym and cooked my own food.

So, why follow what is perceived as the "social norm" and follow you own likes and interests.

And it aint uncool to cook and go gym and never been to a party

And what's wrong in that??

I feel like an outcast and a social degenrate xD

Yeah I guess, i understand you. Its weird tjough because i dont have a clear set of interests/goal I feel.

Its just because i have so many different friends, my social media is full of their parties.

Don't be dummy ! Just try being urself as the girl above said

Do what you enjoy doing, not what others enjoy doing.

When you get to uni, you'll be more involved so don't worry.

I don't know what I enjoy.

I enjoy football and have always sucked at it that I dont get invited to the tourneys.


I enjoy video games maybe
I go gym I kind of enjoy that

Being myself is... I dont know now.

So do you feel like an outcast when people go to football matches? I hate the congestion of people after football matches and I don't give a crap about football (not the sport, but the hordes of people who go crazy over it). But I completely understand what you're saying. It's a different situation. It's like your friends are, perhaps, doing something and there's a slight feeling at the back of your mind that maybe you're missing out. Remember, you should do what you wanna do and that's completely fine and if you decide you wanna party, do it, and if you decide you don't want to, don't do it. You can go partying too, and if you don't want to drink, then don't give in to peer pressure. Out of all the parties and stuff that's gone in in my life - none of them had drunk people there having alcohol - because we couldn't as we were under 18 and why should today, when you're over 18, be any different?

I think people do benefit from social time. Times when you're helping each other learn, and time when you're just having fun by playing sports and stuff against/with your friends. If you have those two elements, what's the need for partying? Imo, it's just wasting time (depending on what actually goes on in partying).

that's a good thing, because you have more time to do stuff way more productive and not let you life go to waste
