whenever im in a party or like a huge group of people all having fun, i start feeling very lonely and sad.i feel left out and like i dont belong. Imagine feeling that when its a party for you. At times ive broken down and started crying. i just felt really bad.like i don't belong.But everyone else will be enjoying dancing drinking having fun.Have i lost my mind? Am i insane? Whats wrong with me? Is it normal to feel like this?
Do you think it's normal?

I usually feel the same way. You need a job at the party. Be in charge of drinks or snacks or something. It'll keep you busy and circulating.
The best parties I ever attended were the ones I threw for my friends. Try it.

you should have a partner in this life. the one that make you laugh, smile, feel that you are in a new life again. ((((but choose the right one)))......

I have the exact same problem. I usually try to talk to my friends or hang around with them, so I at least don't look like I'm lonely. I guess I can't give any more advice because I haven't found it for myself yet! Good luck though, we'll make it through this.

Good advice above - another angle: maybe parties aren't entirely your scene.

Put them into perspective. They can be pretty over-rated and the expectation that you enjoy yourself is huge. I run hot & cold. If I connect - OK - if not - get me the hell out of here!

Anyway, if you've given it a fair try and just aren't enjoying it for whatever reason - beg off. Don't be hard on yourself by staying & feeling even worse by doing so, and don't dump on yourself for splitting.

Also try smaller events, like dinner parties.
