Apparently an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but it's actually nice to have friends and socialize.

Having friends and socializing is fun, but I don't necessarily want to do it for 5 consecutive hours. Even at a party, it's nice to take a break and let my mind rest for a bit.

Nah, you see stuff like this because it's counter to a lot of people. Noisy wheel etc. I like socializing with friends, but also have a limited social battery. Geberally that just means I don't attend things I don't want to, but there have been times where circumstance has put me in situations that I could identify with the comic.

Still, a comic that's just a straight portrayal of people enjoying normal stuff isn't going to get much traction or be interesting, which is why you'll see stuff like this more. It isn't a representative of the actual whole sample of people here, it's just the more unique post that will get attention from people who don't feel as noticed or understood in their real life.

Yeah but people with friends who socialize don't have time to post memes... Unless they don't have a 8@5 obligation.

It sure is! And if you have great friends, you all can agree that there are much better ways to socialize than standing around in the dark drinking while overly loud music plays!

In my experience, you're describing a bar or club more than a party. Most of the parties I've been at were well lit and music at a volume that allowed for conversation.

That's one of the ways you can enjoy yourself. There are others but calling them 'better' than that is just ignorant.

It is good to satisfy your values with friendship and ponies.
