By “party”, I mean a physical social gathering of people for the purposes of having fun. It may be used in a sentence as “I am throwing a party!” or “Let’s party!”.
Basically what I am trying to say is the default “party”.

I’ve never been to any, and I have no idea how people spend their time on parties, so I am curious how you did.

    Party is also known as neurodivergent hell. Avoid. If you can’t avoid, the kitchen is a good place to hide.

      Sometimes, you end up at a party consisting of only neurodivergent people and the entire party just takes place in the kitchen.

      Or just go outside with the couple of other socially avoiding NDs and have a good time. You’ll never have fun if you go there expecting to hate it either.

      Where I come from, the kitchen is the primary party location. We literally call them “kitchen parties.” Back in the day, the kitchen was where you’d usually find the wood stove, so it was generally the warmest room in the house, so if you were going to do anything you might as well do it where it’s warm. Also, it’s the closest place to the other extreme — the cold refrigerator where the beer and drinks are. Best of both worlds.

      There will be no escape for you at a kitchen party.

      That said, probably no one will care you’re keeping to yourself either way.
