Don't like going out

Mr.Success · 04-09-2011 11:29PM #1

Hey i dont like going out socialising in ireland. i dont mind going to a local pub for a few drinks but i hate going to a club afterwards especially on a bus and its miles away. you dont get home till late and am very tired in the mornings. I dont go overboard drinking because i dont want a sore head next day. everyone has to brand me the dry****e because i dont want to go any further than the pub. and even if i do go out to club i would be socially awkward because i wouldnt have enough drink taken. and i am usually bored.

What lifestyle would suit me?

you could become a monk and live in a monastery.

Given your username, shouldn't you be telling us?

To be honest OP, a lot of people hate clubs.

Can't stand them myself; a bleedin cattle market of orange/pop-collared gombeans.

A hermit or a Trappist monk, I jest

Whatever you are into, but sometimes to get comfortable in situations you know which might be good for you, you are better off forcing yourself.

squod · 04-09-2011 11:34PM

That's why God invented nudey bars. For people just like you.

So what do you do instead? Give the OP some details! Surely you don't just put up with it?

A normal, healthy lifestyle - in another country. The way you describe yourself wouldn't sound out of place in e.g. Canada. This is one of the few countries in the world in which people who don't like heavy drinking are considered abnormal. Don't sweat it.

You could drive the bus?

finally a non smart ass answer:)

Yeah OP, your'e one of a large club.

Never liked them myself. The good news is when you get over the hump at 25 (Im assuming you're younger) then clubs wont be as prevalent anymore. Everyone will come around to your way of thinking eventually!

This times infinity. There's not much more miserable in Ireland, socially speaking, than clubs. Over aggressive bastards, women with a misplaced sense of self-worth, God awful music, drinks that you have to take out a mortgage for and in the end you have to brave getting home, usually in the pissing rain, risking running into a bunch of scumbags. Just stay in the pub, dude, that's where all the people who aren't irritating are.

Well rather than a club its good to chill with a group of friends in nice cozy pub where you can actually have a chat, rather than roaring at one another over the sound of some shíte music. I find it generally more of a laugh. Then instead of going to a club after, get some food/head back to someones house to chill out...drag out guitars or something.

I'm a laid back fecker.

Agree with the rest of your post, but what is wrong with anyone having a sense of self-worth. Surely self-worth is a good thing?

OP, it's OK to feel the way you do, LOTS of people in this country feel this way. It's weird, many people secretly hate the drinking culture we have in this country but we don't seem to know what to do about it.

I'm sorry but you're destined to be...

I wish my friends would do that, all my socialising has to be done during the day because all they like to do at night is go to disgusting clubs, get completely locked and eat disgusting food afterwards.

Can I be your friend?

Cupcake_Crisis · 04-09-2011 11:43PM

Go the cinema/ theater/ gigs instead! Annoys me that people only socialise in pubs or clubs etc, so much more out there

I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the type who sneer at you if you glance at them when you're up at the bar trying to get a drink, who instantly assume I want in their pants because I happen to be in the same room as them and think themselves above me because I'm a goofy looking son-of-a-bitch. Tell me they don't exist.

Tesco Massacre · 04-09-2011 11:47PM

Like the OP, I'd usually prefer the pub. But sometimes, just sometimes, I need to express myself through the medium of dance, and there's only place you can truly do that in this city: Copperface Jacks.

phew - thought i was odd - but i cant even stand the pub anymore. much happier at home on the sofa with wine, munchies and a good movie/tv!

I also like to have friends/family over and I'll cook for them. nice food, nice drinks, good chat. Probably end up playing cards or boardgames. Hate hangovers and drink tends to make me feel very down so I bother less and less. I like to have energy to take the dogs to the beach or the woods for long walks as well at the weekend.

If i do go out i prefer the cinema, stand up comedy or a gig. I am already dreading xmas for the 'must attend', forced and always ****e xmas work do.

That's not self-worth you're talking about right there. Self-regard, maybe?

af_thefragile · 04-09-2011 11:51PM

Get a Playstation 3.

I'm not gonna get into it, because there's already been the obligatory thread on the subject today and it's way off topic, but what they have is a far over-blown sense of self-worth. Being humble is a character trait that's sadly been long forgotten in favour of this.

Self-worth is a good thing, in anyone. Self-regard, on the other hand, is not. I'm just saying you're getting them mixed up.

Cinema and theater are all well and good...unless you actually want to talk to your friends.
