Is it normal to hate parties?
Yep.Totally normal
Yes, it’s completely normal to hate parties. Not everyone enjoys crowds, noise, small talk, or feeling like they have to be “on.”
Parties can be a lot: loud music, crowded rooms, and small talk that somehow lasts forever. Plenty of people would rather spend their time with a few friends, do something quieter, or just stay home—and that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.
Some people love parties, and others only enjoy them with the right crowd or when they can leave early. You don’t have to make yourself like them; it’s fine to decline an invite or suggest a kind of hangout you actually enjoy.
