I live in a small town named Elizabeth City. I basically grew up here, went to high school here, and made alot of good friends.
But, now I'm in college. Except everyone else went off to college while I stayed back since I can go to school for free at home. I'll probably transfer to Chapel Hill in 2 years or so.
Luckily, I still have a few friends around. I hang out with them whenever I can, but sometimes...I feel alone yet I'm around everyone. There was a party tonight over at my friends house. There was to be alcohol and such. Now, I'm not really INTO drinking. I mean, I guess I drink casually like watching a football game but I really hate parties where the only point of it is to just drink all you can. But, there was to a certain lady at this party so I decided to attend.
Well, I get there and she isn't there. Oh well, I guess I can still hang around and play some video games. Um, wrong again. No one wants to play...everyone just wants to drink and be stupid. Even some old friends from high school stopped by on thanksgiving break from college. I used to hang out with these people constantly, went to LAN parties and just chilled occasionally. But now, essentially, they are assholes and people I would never wanna hang out with.
So what do I do? I just...left. No goodbye, no sayonara, I just left. After about an hour they finally realized I was gone and they get the girl I wanted to hang out with to call me. I told her I felt it was a bad situation for me and I felt a little uncomfortable and so I just left. She said she's not into those kinda hangouts either.
I dunno, am I just weird for not liking these parties? I feel I have been left behind and I need to get out of this town ASAP. I'm actually teary typing this. Silly yes, but maybe I'm just depressed.
Any advice / similar stories would be awesome. Thanks
