Excuses.


Question Posted Tuesday May 23 2006, 6:05 am

I was invited to a large party that takes place this weekend. I said that I'd go, because of the occasion and the person who is throwing it, but I really do not want to stay for a long time. First of all, I am not much of a party person. I usually just sit there by myself while being bored out of my mind. Second of all, I'm not much of a people person. There are going to be a LOT of people there. I really don't want to have to be around that many people for too long, especially since I hate most of them. Normally I leave parties with the excuse of not feeling well or something like that, but certain people (although not everyone) are starting to catch on. I need some good excuses to leave a party that do not involve being sick.

Additional info, added Tuesday May 23 2006, 6:53 am:
I should probably add that the party is a block away from my house, so I can't say I couldn't get a ride. Plus, I can drive.

The party is from 8pm-12am.

Just say "I have to go home and get some sleep, I have to do some work early in the morning"

Yeah I hear ya on this. Being in a small room with a bunch of people you hate is never fun. A good excuse is that you're supposed to babysit at, say 9. That way it's only an hour you have to stay and you'll only be there at the start when people still haven't all arrived.

If not babysitting then just make sure it fits the following criteria:
-A prior engagement you tell the host(ess) about before the party so it doesn't look so fake
-Something going on that evening. That way people won't try to persuade you to stay later as they might if you said you had to get up early next day.

So relatives coming over or a shift at a work if you have a job work too.

Funny but if you know you only have to be there an hour you'll probably end up having more fun thn you usually would.

First off, you don't owe anyone an explanation, you can always just say, "I gotta go", and leave. But here are some other excuses..

-appointment early in the morning
-parents need you home
-curfew
-you all of a sudden have to babysit your siblings
-your tired and you want to go to sleep
-headache
-you're going to be busy all weekend so you need to start your homework
-your relatives from out of town are in

Hope this helps and good luck.

It is not necessary for you to make up excuses for leaving the party early. In your position I would go and socialise for a while then gradually fade into the background and quietly leave. If you have no problems with getting home then I suggest you leave when you are ready. It is highly unlikely that most people would know that you have left but in the unlikely event that it did occur just tell them you are not sure what time you finally left, but had a great time. I wish you luck.

Why would you need an actual excuse to leave? It's your life, you don't owe anyone an explanation. A simple "I'm going to head out now" is sufficiant, or say that you have somewhere else to be later.

herbivore answered Tuesday May 23 2006, 6:43 am:
hey. first of all, what time is the party, cause that could effect your excuse. but here is a list that you can use:
- dentist appointment
- you have to babysit your baby cousin and they are desperate
- you can go, but only stay for like 30 minutes
- you are going to be busy this whole weekend and you need to do your homework
- your parents have to go someplace and you dont have a ride

if these dont work then maybe you just should go. if you arent a party/people person, this is a great time to become one! you might even make some new friends! hope this helps!! :) &hearts; &hearts; &hearts;
