And he was like: well I don't know anyone from your age that doesn't party.

I felt so angry and sad. Why does your age needs to force you to do things that I don't like? I'm more of the introvert type, I love to read books and sometimes go to the cinema with someone but not too often. I just like to be alone. Why don't people accept that? Just because I'm 19, does it mean that I have to go to party what I don't like at all. I don't like hard music, dancing and lots of people , crowded and so. Is that so bad?

Remember that this is just this mans experience. I know a lot of people of all ages that don't like to party. And what you were doing with your family would in my opinion be one of the best ways to bring in the new year.

I even like to go out to eat and site see on my on. My husband, however cannot understand how I would choose to do things alone. I've learned to like my on company and find I can focus more on what's going on around me if I'm alone. I don't like crowds either and never have. They make me anxious. I'm 62, but I haven't changed my style since quite young.

There is nothing wrong with doing things your way and not worrying about what some guy has to say about it. Just keep enjoying yourself in what ever fashion you choose.
