Hey, I'm a senior at my high school in New York. I've always been kind of a guy who likes to sit back and watch people because I've never really been one to socialize.
So anyways, the other day I got invited to a party with my friend, but my friend decided not to go. I went alone into the party and before I even walked in through the front door, I could smell weed. I got into the backyard and it was nothing but 17 year olds drinking and smoking and acting like they were some hot shit.
I stayed for around 20 minutes until realizing I really had no intention of smoking or drinking. I really sat down and thought about all the people I knew really well doing some stupid ass shit and dressing up like sluts.
Here's my question. How do I neglect all the reasonable shit I've collected and saved in my mind and just learn to let go and have fun? I have really bad trust issues and only keep 5 friends at most. Please help me become normal.
Find someone you could have fun with. There gotta be that one guy around who's not trying to look like some hot stuff or have the biggest presence and that's just enjoying himself.

Fitting in is the act of destroying your identity in the name of "society"

You sound perfectly normal to me. There is nothing wrong with finding some people and their behavior unattractive, and the logical response is to have nothing to do with them and seek out people you are happy being with.
And 5 good friends is more than a lot of people have.

>And 5 good friends is more than a lot of people have.
That's more than I have, and I'm perfectly happy with that.
Why would anyone want to get embroiled in pleb's shit.
Totally agree with >>17718459, bear in mind that "society" is just going to fuck you over in the end.

if normal means not driving drunk and killing yourself, or having a possession charge follow you for the rest of your life, or fake-knowing tons of people who are good for nothing....

if you don't want to drink then don't , simples
I do and its nothing but trouble . when i was 17 I wanted to get drunk and shit so did whenever I could , had fun but became a drunk eventually .
get school and college sorted then have fun with your disposable income that you will have
or you could always just drink some alcohol and after the third drink you will probably be in more of a fun mood at parties .
don't drink and drive tho

You wouldn't want to engage Chads who use weed and alcohol as a conduit to socialize. Not to mention the girls who are so insecure about their own bodies that they want to show it flamboyantly for attention. Unlike everyone else at the party you're the only person with a correct mindset. Don't change.
