    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

      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.

    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.

    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.

          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.
