You don’t need an excuse. If you’re at a party and no longer want to be there, say “I have to go now, thanks for the great party” to the host and leave
No one cares why you’re leaving. I’m probably well on the neurotypical end of the spectrum and I’m usually there first in my friend group to leave a party just because parties are late and I wake early. No one complains unless I’m their lift home and they don’t want to leave yet
- “I have to go now, thanks for the great party”
- “Noo c’mooon whyyyy?”
Aaand now I’m stuck between being incredibly blunt, which I don’t like at all, or making up an excuse on the spot (which I suck at)
Better to just make up the excuse beforehand.
It not that hard to say you’re tired lol
Yeah but some people (especially at parties) have a hard time to not accept “tiredness” as answer. :/ (Yeah I realize this is primarily a me problem)
Be blunt. You do it twice or thrice and people get the message.
Yeah I have to deal with that back and forth for 30 mins lol
Personally if you tell me you do things because of your astrology bullshit I will hate you much more than if you just say you’re autistic.
Wait how much would you hate us for saying we’re autistic?!
Not even a little bit. I have zero issues with autistic people. Astrology people, on the other hand…
Would you ask any follow up questions about astrology or try to get me to stay?
I might reconsider future invitations
In the past, in parties I just left and didn’t give a fuck . Period. And if anyone asked me later I said I had a great time but at one point it was enough fun.
I used to do what we called backdooring it as in you just leave without telling anybody. That way you don’t have to deal with all the drunk people saying “come on just stay a bit longer” etc.
As me :) hahaha i didn’t knew there is a word in english for that
Yeah it’s pretty common in my friend circle.
I could say to Ste “Where did you go last night” and he might say “Aww bro I had to backdoor it me, had enough”.
I still do something similar. Grab my stuff, get ready to go and when I am at the door, I give a “Goodbye everybody” and leave right away.
No time for arguing, just letting people know that I am leaving alive.
