Never go out to pubs or clubs

    I've never been been that interested in going out during the weekends pubs and clubs are just not my thing it seems that everyone revolves around going out to the pub getting smashed on a saturday night, but I'm not a drinker and the pub scene just doesnt appeal to me the same with clubbing. I'm not the sort of person who does stuff because other people do it and I've always refused to bow to peer pressure. If fitting into a group means doing things that frankly dont interest me and being someone im not then i don't want to be a part of that group, it might have bothered me a bit as a teenager but now that im that bit older im no longer bothered i live my life however i want it and that doesnt involve drinking and partying, the social scene doesnt appeal to me there's more to life than drinking and partying i dont know why its seen as weird if you dont go to the pub at the weekend but it simply doesnt appeal to me never has done and i don't see it changing does anyone else feel like this i would really like to know.

    Kinda sounds like it bothers you.

    Sure loads of people feel that way. There's a non-drinkers forum on boards that you should check out.

    Very rarely go to the pub.

    Too busy working, by the time Saturday night comes, I'm bolloxed and don't want to be around anyone.

    The odd time I have a few beers, I will have a few over to the house.

    You don't like full stops either.

    I hope they give you a return invite sometimes, over to the fridge in the off licence.

    Think its more of an Irish thing well an older Irish thing. You have to drink. I gave up drinking few years back because i realised it wasn't good for my head. One of my good friends hasn't really spoken to me since because of it. He used always say you can't trust a man in a pub that's not drinking. I presume now he actually believed that

    In a board full of Southerners who love to be as contrarian as humanely possible. You'll fit right in here.

    Being a virgin is okay, and I'm glad you got to grips with it after your teenage years.

    I just can't stand being around drunk rowdy people i see problems such as boozed up abroad and that scene is not for me especially when you watch someone puking and then passing out by having too much too drink. Its getting drunk for the sake of getting drunk i don't see the point in that.

    I try to ignore punctuation corrector's but i take on board what you said.

    I know a good few people like you. Some get on with it but some make an ordeal out of it. People often tend to wind these people up tough.

    Try going to a pub and not drinking alcohol.

    I remember doing that a few times and the people I was with got really pissy about it.

    I go the pub probably twice a month, if i didnt id probably never see my mates, apart from the odd weekend away. Thats how we socialise, if we didnt have to the pub to do that i really dont know what we would do.

    OP, do you socialise at all? If so what do you do?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,551 ✭✭✭AllForIt


    I think the OP could do with a couple of tequila shots to help him/her lighten up a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,220 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Maybe you should try and find different friends or socialise with different people OP.

    Why exactly have you created a thread to state that you don't like going out?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,138 ✭✭✭Uncharted


    Go out and get scuttered drunk.
    Then get back to us OP.........
