Were you the life of the party or were you a Wallflower?

In my younger days, I'd just kick back at parties, observing, and joining in just enough so I would
not be thought of as that 'Creepy guy leaning against the wall watching us!'

First thing at one of those parties would be to Recon the area, find the bathroom and what beer
was in the Fridge.

Most of the time, I was more concerned about the music being played and WHY ON EARTH
someone would put on ABBA!!!!
 
I had two older friends that introduced me the Atlanta nightclub scene while I was still in high school. It was curious to me we would go out clubbing to meet girls but we were all just talk and no action. The purpose of our charade we needed another reason to go downtown than just getting wasted. I am still act reserved in large crowds but with just a few people my wit soars beyond reproach.
 
I'd say it depended on who threw the party and how well I knew that person (or couple), and how many of the guests I knew. Sometimes I'd be part of a group of guys at the party who played music together there. Maybe we had some songs we knew together, or maybe we just jammed & fooled around. That was sometimes the life of those particular parties. On the whole, I don't think I tended to stand out as the most high-spirited party-goer.

Seems like it always helps if you're a musician or a DJ, people seem to want to be around music-types. But alas, some of us were born without the music gene.
 
Exactly. There are too many variables to answer this as is. It depends on the company, the venue, the occasion, the food and beverages and whether they were alcoholic or not. It depends how comfortable I am with the group I’m with.

One thing I wasn’t , was a wallflower. If I wasn’t having fun, or was uncomfortable in any way, shape or form, I was OUT of THERE with no explanation.

If there were other musicians there that I knew, I’d be singing, or playing an instrument. Sometimes both. Live music can definitely liven up any party if done well enough.
 
Somewhere in between depending on who I was with, but I was more of a wallflower. Now I just enjoy sitting back & watching others at a party. Sometimes you can really find it entertaining ;) .
 
University days, I definitely was very active partier. Married a guy who didn’t like parties unless it was his friends. Now I’m so reclusive I don’t want to go to anything.
 
I am an introvert. But one-on-one I have a lot to say. Or at least I can keep the convo going. When I did online dating, the women didn't believe me when I said I was introverted.

As an introvert, being in a large party with a lot going on around me makes me tired. I'd rather go to a place where it's quiet and I can talk and get to know someone one-to-one.
