Have been through a particular experience many times before, have started getting frustrated these days. There's a valentine party in the gym and everyone insists i have to be there. It does not interest me AT ALL. I have to give reasons (make excuses?)... A simple 'No' is never enough. I am not answerable to whys from every Tom, Dick and Harry, am I? Why cant they just respect someone's opinion, his/her disinterest. This is what is known as an emotional rape i guess. You feel like a victim. Have decided to be stright-forward hereon. (that i already am, but more.) The fact that i am writing a blog about a stupid issue is quite indicative of the pressure i feel. I should stop being pressurised and be more assertive.
And well, this is not the only case. Happens to me all the time. Am not a party-person at all. I see no sense wasting time in useless chatting and talking about the weather. Musical chair is the most idiotic game ever invented, i think. Makes no sense circling the chairs. 'Only men's' parties are different, they get together just to booze. I guess its nice to know that they are not alone...other addicted idiots exist. So, it might be a nice idea to get together and drink.
But parties are definitely not for me.

the trick is to say no and vanish. never even try to give any reason at all.
an if ever you want to say something, give a reason on why you would like to be doing something else instead of saying i dont like to be doing a certain something.
I say no all the time - makes me seem really rude and curt. But I keep my peace of mind.
