Well, "going to parties" means nothing. So many people go out regularly, but really just pretend to have fun and socialize while actually being bored, going out just out of habit or because "you're supposed to". It's like a lottery, you keep playing it out of irrational hope that you'll have more luck next time. And then you go home and feel like shit and lonely, you could've just as well spent the night watching movies or playing games all night, you'd probably have more fun. Thing is not about being at certain places or following certain social rituals, it's about enjoying the activity. If you truly don't enjoy something, fuck it, just don't do that. But problem is that we often don't do things cause we're afraid of doing them, and we'd otherwise really want to try them. That's what's killing us, wondering "what if I only did it". If you can come over that, get over regrets, you can live a happy fulfilled life by doing whatever, where ever...
