Party people have been gaslighting us about how much partying is going on, and should be going on
I bet it would have been way more skewed if I’d eliminated college age
Only a minority likes regular partying
I don't dislike socializing, I dislike _most_ parties.
Last time I was working solo and avoiding parties I learned that there's a 2nd order explore-exploit balance happening: once you don't show up, people forget you exist and you don't learn about the good stuff.
