I am close to 50 and I get invited to parties a few times a week; in and around the summer and December, that becomes daily. The past 30+ years there are very few weeks I haven’t been to at least one. Of course the term ‘party’ can mean many things to many people, but you named a few and those I go to. And also sometimes to raves in the mountains nearby, and sometimes to bands. I do work on friendships and social life; I select new places to live based on the liveliness of the place, but also the willingness to connect (which doesn’t happen everywhere; too cliquey). My friends from school/college have different lives and didn’t fit (maybe like you are experiencing), so I make new ones to fit with my stages in life.
