Top Ten Worst Things About Parties

It depends on the party. I have social anxiety, too, so whenever I have to go to one of these things, I usually just end up socializing with some adults.

Other than that, yeah, they can be boring.

I hate it when the music is way too loud because if someone is talking to me, I can't hear what they're saying. I'm terrible at reading lips.

Why did I have to sit too close to the loudspeakers? Oh, that reminds me, the reason for that is on this list too.

I got invited to a party, so I went, but I really only knew the person who invited me. I mean, I knew other people, but they made it obvious they didn't like me.

So, I just ended up talking to little kids the whole time.

The grown-ups usually talk about us kids - how we're bad, crazy, weird, and all sorts of other embarrassing stuff.

Especially with people you don't know.

I had to play freeze dance, and a group of kids just wouldn't stop touching me.

Why should I dance? I use my feet for driving, seriously.

It's always the same: mainstream pop and rap. Basically, everything you hear on the radio every day. Like, can't you be original or something?

The worst part is, if you even think about changing the song to rock or metal, they'll just tell you it's too loud or weird.

Old pop songs? It's usually the same five new pop songs over and over.

I once left a party because the music was so bad. They played that Meghan Trainor song five times in a row. It might not sound that bad, but trust me, it was.

At restaurants in Chinatown, they only play songs that old Chinese people like, such as opera and Taiwanese songs.

I wish they'd play more awesome music, like Andy Lau. He's way better.

A few days ago, I was at a family party, and there was an Asian guy there that I didn't even know, but everyone else knew him. When I asked my parents about him, my dad said he was a friend, and my mom said we didn't know him.

Who was that guy, and what was he doing at the party anyway?

This is for formal parties and weddings. They make you sit in assigned places when you could just sit anywhere during regular occasions.

As I mentioned before, I sat close to a loudspeaker and almost had a seizure because of the damn music.

I had to go to a wedding in Mexico, and the afterparty just dragged on. Once everyone was done eating, it was time to dance.

However, the dancing went on for hours, and my family ended up leaving before they even cut the cake.

That can be horrible. One solution only: make sure there are enough drinks.

Urgh, I don't think I'll last 5 hours at one of these things ever again.

Once I was at a party with my dad's side of the family. I was playing on my phone and listening to music, but then one of my older cousins decided to take my phone and wouldn't give it back until I went home.

There was also a TV, but I wasn't allowed to watch it, so I ended up being nearly bored to death for the next half an hour or so.

You know, your younger cousins who always follow you around, look like they admire you, and constantly bother you by asking questions every 30 seconds? Annoying!

My family's Asian. The food at my family parties is good, but it's really repetitive. Every single family party I attend has at least one Asian dish. Whether it's a birthday, a gathering because family is visiting, or even a wedding or holiday, it's always Asian food, Asian food, and even more Asian food (mostly Chinese and Vietnamese).

Last Thanksgiving, besides the turkey dinner, guess what we had for dessert? Taro cake from Chinatown. Even with American food, there's still Asian food.

I don't think I've attended any party in my life where there was no Asian food being served.

Me: I want to play Andy Lau songs.

Dad: No, we will play Chinese songs that old people like.

This is why I bring my own music to parties.

I'm not that social either, except if it's about video games that I play and they play too. I'm much better at talking to people over text on PlayStation or on a phone.

Although you could play on your iPhone or whatever, I'd be much more comfortable at home playing on my PC or console.

I'd rather be stuck in that Battletoads level than go to a generic party.

Family parties are the worst. If a relative talks to me, it's always, "Oh, look how tall you are!" or "So, how's school/college going?"

Or they talk to me about something that happened when they were younger.

At family parties, no one talks to me, and I just play on my phone the whole time.

Scary clowns at kids' birthday parties? I've never found clowns scary, but a lot of kids do, so I'll just call clowns "scary."

There can sometimes be "scary" clowns at kids' birthday parties.

As mentioned before, it depends on the party. If it's an informal picnic, then you can wear regular clothes.

But if it's a wedding, then yeah, you have to dress up in formal clothes you don't like.

I am female, and I hate wearing dresses, pantyhose, and high heels, but I have no choice. I prefer suits.

If you're at a wedding, you have no choice. Prom is...optional...I guess. I'm sorry, I've never been to a prom.

It is so boring. The grown-ups talk to each other, and my cousins and sister hang out together. I get bored easily because of this.

There's one good thing about it: you get to take food home in return.

Last Thanksgiving, my family brought a honey ham. We were the only ones to bring food. Later that night, we were the only ones who got to take home leftovers.

It's so quiet after a party ends that it starts to feel uncomfortable. You almost wish the party lasted longer.

You feel lonely and just want to keep partying.
