People who've been to a (regular) party, what do people do there? (lemmy.sdf.org)

By "party", I mean a physical social gathering of people for the purposes of having fun. It may be used in a sentence as "I am throwing a party!" or "Let's party!".
Basically what I am trying to say is the default "party".

I've never been to any, and I have no idea how people spend their time on parties, so I am curious how you did.

This part is hard but you need to push yourself through it. The worst thing that can happen is that no conversation develops and you have to do it again.

Another favorite of mine is walking around to see what different groups are talking about. If there's a topic that you know about, just ask them if that's indeed the topic of the conversation and if it is, you just joined.
