I for my own, partially in my opinion, hate going to the parties with couple of general issues.
One: I do not have the energy to eat that much alot anymore. It feels like my metabolism changes years by years that passed by. (This is how we throw parties in our culture by having a HUGE fest of foods on the table reminding you of a “fuck diet” stereotype)
Two: it’s also a part of our weird culture that most aunts and uncles that were invited in a party will inevitably tell you if you have a boy/girlfriend or if you’re married and they will criticize your life status which imo is kinda invading one’s privacy.
