Was with some people I went to undergrad with and they’re taking pictures of us. And cropping me out of every one. They seemed more interested in buying alcohol than actually looking at art at Bushwick Open Studios. I politely told them I got something else to do and went home immediately.

That’s not a world you want to be in. Enjoy and Party as much as you can.
Trust me. Things can be worse.

I hate people like that. I recently went bowling with coworkers and ruined their night. Apparently “bowling” was code for “drinking in a bowling alley parking lot.”
Since they’re all underage (not too big a deal, except for the 16-year-old) and each drove themselves, I told them I will call 911 and throw their keys on the roof of the building if they take one sip. I haven’t been invited to do anything with them since then.

Good on you!
Mind you, the people I was with were 21-24 year olds. I was the oldest (barely)...
but still. I get along with people older than me better than people my age.

I skipped out on a party tonight because I knew that people would be heavily drinking and I don’t drink, and I also get tired of people questioning why I don’t drink.

Nice. Would’ve made you feel completely out of place and bored.

I know the feeling Nibby. I’m 21 and in college, some days î can barely tolerate most of my peers. Got a couple great friends though.

Well, I’m 26. I have about 5 friends. My wife and 3 kids keep me company, so I am happy having just a few people with whom I can have a meaningful conversation with.

I don’t know why people make a big deal about when other people don’t drink. I personally have no care for drinking and people always make a big deal about it when we go out, like I’m the one with issues for not drinking.

I’m pretty sure you just haven’t found the right people. What is your field of study? There must be someone that isn’t a drilling alcoholic, surely. Or you need to change schools.

I agree people rely too much on alcohol to have fun. So, it’s easier to say you drive and you can't.

Seems to me this has happened before?
Try this, just for fun mind you, not for effect ( I would never [now] presume to tell someone what they should do. I would, however, reflect their experience back at them through my own.) Get a piece of paper, a pencil/pen, a quiet moment, and start writing down your so-called friend’s names and acquaintances on it. After you’ve listed everyone you can think of, put the tip of your pen on their names, think of them, and think about your relationship with them. Do you want to strengthen, weaken or maintain that relationship? Draw lines to indicate each state.
After that’s done, take a look at the network. Maybe you knew it already, or maybe there’s a surprise. Next step: implementation plan.

I probably have 5-7 people who are actually friends.

Those friends are all that matters, trust me.

Great!
It’s about quality not quantity.

“they’re taking pictures of us. And cropping me out of every one.”
That’s....incredibly douche-y.

Me too, and I’m 2-3 times your age. The weaken/strengthen thing helps to set the bit of whether you pursue a night out with people... it doesn’t *ever* say “Don’t do this or do this” it’s only an awareness thing.
