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.
In my circle we call this an Irish Goodbye, and it is celebrated.
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.
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.
You aren’t wrong but, I have a feeling you’re not among the kind of people that the poster is talking about.
