When everyone is out partying, I would rather be doing something productive

Didn’t realize going out and meeting people is superficial and egotistic, but if that’s the way you look at it then have a fun life. I actually do have a lot of friends that rarely, if ever, go out and party, but they also don’t judge me for doing so. This is of course unlike you who went out of your way to post, unprovoked, on an internet forum about how much you despise people who party and the “partying lifestyle” (whatever that is at an academically rigorous university). Hell I live in honors housing, I would say that over 50% of my hall doesn’t drink or go out that much but I still am great friends with everyone I live with. I only see a reason to judge when others see a reason to judge me for how I live.



Look, if you can go out and drink and it doesn’t interfere with your life, you’re golden. That’s excellent for you. I have met very few people engaged in what I am referring to as the general “party culture” who do not also fall into a category of people who I don’t like, and it’s not because they are active, social, or even because they are drinkers, but because they are superficial and egotistical.

If that’s not you, then you have my sincerest apologies. But I just get that vibe that you are that sort of person, judging by your seemingly visceral hatred of video games and your consistent usage of “geed” to refer to me.

No, I am not opposed to social interaction. In fact, it was not so long ago that I encountered another human being and engaged them in what I have since learned is called a “conversation” (I’m learning more every day!) and I daresay the experience was a pleasant one.

But lo be to the one who is so daft as engage in mindless activities for the sake of exclusivity and an imagined self-importance, for this person, truly, has my pity…
