i'd literally rather die than go to a party. unfocused undirected unscheduled endless socializing where i have to pretend like i'm having 100% fun is a torture sentence
This why I love board games. It's kind of like a small party, but there's an activity and I'm not weird for focusing on it.
I'm the opposite. Game nights have a protocol on top of socializing so I feel caged up in a mandatory activity. I'm an extreme introvert and I'd rather just sit and listen to everyone else chit chat than to learn a new game, talk about rules, and be forced to interact.
I dunno, maybe it's different with friends instead of acquaintances. Or if you already know the games.
What would you consider sincerely fun, no pretending? Would any of those activities be something you could share with loved ones? Boom, party.
