I'm going to a mate's 18th birthday party in three days time, so this is something I have been thinking about over the past few days. Do you enjoy going to social gatherings or do you try to avoid going to them, if possible?  I don't really enjoy going to social gatherings, because i'm not really a "people" person.  I like catching up with a few of my friends from time to time, but going to parties with 10+ people doesn't interest me at all.

I don't mind as long as I know the majority of people.

Like what Paul said. I like a few group of friends to hang with instead of a bunch of people I don't know. I would be more comfortable if a friend is introducing me to people and they initiate the convo too though.
It's funny cause even though I'm kind of a shy person, I consider myself a people person it's just after we get pass the awkward stage I'm all good.

I hate social gatherings. I can't even go outside unaccompanied. I have social phobia and Asperger's.

I don't really mind as long as there is one person I know that I'm close to and it's not boring as hell and it has good food.

Nope, I love them. As long as they're rather small (and by small I mean 8-12 people), and the people are around my age (15-39), and I know at least one person, then I'll have a good time. Anything more than 15 people in one room is too much though.

I'm particularly not a big fan of social gatherings where I don't know anybody and there's a large group of people. I prefer small social gatherings with friends and family, now that's my idea of a nice social gathering.

For me, big social gatherings aren't particularly enjoyable and whenever I go to one, I normally just talk to a small group of people anyway.

I don't like big social gatherings. Only when I know everyone.

I don't mind going to social gatherings but I prefer if I would at least know someone or a couple of people there.

I went to a mate's 18th birthday party yesterday evening and it was the perfect example of why I don't like social gatherings. There were 30 people there, and out of all of those people, I only knew my friend. That wasn't such a bad thing, but 3 of my friend's footy mates were also there and the four of them formed a little "group", making me feel like a complete outcast.

If it’s with family and friends, yes.
If it’s with random people I don’t know, no.

Wow that's not good, it's a bit of a shame that the 4 of them made you feel excluded, I mean they could've easily just talked to you. Tbh, I would have just approached them and if they wouldn't give up I would just go find someone new to talk to lol.

The one time when I didn't have a good time at a social gathering was when once I turned up way too late to a party only to realise most of the people there were really drunk, then my (drunk) friend who I hadn't seen in a while ran over and picked me up  and the alcohol bottles completely smashed and went all over me, he then forced me to drink for some reason even though I really wasn't in the mood at the time.

Tbh, I would have just approached them and if they wouldn't give up I would just go find someone new to talk to lol. I could tell that my friend wasn't doing it intentionally, because he would try to include me in the conversation and he spoke to me in other occasions as well, such as when his three footy mates were doing something else. The only trouble is that my friend is a social butterfly and he got too caught up speaking with others. I would have tried approaching them, but they had no real interest in talking to me at all and it didn't help that I had never met them before. That's a shame. I wouldn't have been in the mood either, if I saw a friend of mine like that and having alcohol go all over me. It must have been a pretty horrible experience.
