(27M) Ever since I was maybe 6 or 7 I have always dread weddings , Call me a party pooper or whatever, but no matter how many I go to or am a part of I find weddings extremely uncomfortable and a just an awkward experience. I’m happy for the bride and groom, just like everyone one else but, I have not once in my life felt the same enjoyment as everyone else. And yes I’m more introverted and struggle with social cues/circles but weddings are a completely different level of discomfort.

Just out of curiosity, do you get this way with other events as well? Do you feel this way before the wedding, or just when you’re at the wedding itself?
Open bar is
I thought this was an popular opinion!
I’m the same as you. Once the party starts I usually find an excuse to go outside and have conversations where I can actually hear people. The loud music, dancing, and drunk people is usually over stimulating.
I have had some interesting talks with people. I also just dip out and go for long walks haha. Only a few people notice that I’m not there and I just give them some excuse and that I will be back in soon. The bride and groom never notice.
Maybe attending weddings just isn’t for you and that’s ok. It’s neither a popular nor an unpopular take.
Fun when you’re close with the bride/groom, less fun when you’re sat at the back table with the other randoms.
Likely 95% of males at weddings would rather be elsewhere…like quiet time at home laying on the sofa watching some sporting event. The other 5% are gay.
However, weddings aren’t for us. They are for the bride and her female relatives, friends so best to show character, be civil and just to go along with it.
Then dont go. Congrats on wasting someone else’s money wanting to celebrate with you.
I get you, I’m mostly just there for the food and I keep to myself though.
I agree!
I’m helping my best friend plan her wedding and she’s constantly breaking down in tears over how stressful it is to plan such a large event.
They originally wanted to elope with a small group of friends to get married but after the news got out of their engagement, all the family members expected to be invited.
I’m thrilled they are getting married, but the wedding itself is the opposite of what they want and I feel bad.
Modern weddings are lame af. All copy and paste
I feel the same I guess just because they are just boring a shit to me. Plus I don’t like being obligated to dress up/talk to people (family included)
