I get what he means and a part of me is like this at well. However, I do like partying (both drunk and sober), here is why:
- Dancing a lot means I am working out
- It allows me to play a bit with my identity to people (you know jump up and down out of excitement instead of a normal handshake)
- In fact, it allows for play (I sometimes bring a scarve to parties and play rope jump with it or limbo dancing)
- I get to study/observe drunk people and drunk group dynamics from a distance or as a part of it (by being drunk myself)
- I get to meet people and hear their perspective. Emotionally that means I feel like I am walking a few steps in their shoes
- In rare cases, I can have a deep intellectual conversation with people but there are better venues for meeting people in order to have intellectual conversations
Partying and network events and the like is simply not for everyone and that’s okay. I hope the author has a few friends where he can have amazing conversations with
