Who doesn’t like parties? Finally, you have an exuse to step out in style. Parties also have scrumptious food. The host usually owns the cutest cats and dogs. The other guests look magnificent in their tuxedos and designer gowns.
Uh oh, there’s the rub. This fancy evening wear always comes with people inside them. They come with extroverts inside. Extroverts expect you to talk back to them about mind numbing topics such as finance, algebra, or French senate debates. Oof. And they have no respect, no respect at all, for your personal space which is a modest twenty feet.
We need a phrase for this dressing up versus parties angst.
And now we have.
