Today, I told my parents that I wasn't feeling very social and up for company. How do they try to make me feel better? By inviting a whole bunch of people I don't know to a pool party at my house. They said I should face my fears. I'm now in my room, hiding. FML

Your parents make no sense. You simply said you don't feel like company, not that you have a social phobia. Not that having a raucous pool party would be a good way to force your child to get over their social phobia anyway.

its ok op i do that when people i dobt kbow are over...beats awkward (shirtless) introductions.

most people who post on this site complain about getting ditched and you're bitching about not having the balls to hang out with people? YDI, grow a pair.

Obviously this isn't the 1st tine you've said you're "not feeling social"--your parents wouldn't have called it a fear if it were. They are just trying to get you to socialize. It's what humans do.

Humans also spend time alone. Just because her parents think she's afraid of socializing doesn't mean she actually is. There's a strong Western bias against introversion, particularly among young people. The party was probably more of a response to their own fears that OP isn't "normal."

Kick everyone out. It's your house after all is it not? Call the police and say you have all these randoms appearing and won't leave. Oh and get your parents arrested at the same time for the fun of it. ;-)

why do parents never listen to their children?

why because she wasn't feeling sociable, not everyones a social butterfly

YDI for having a room. YDI for having a house. YDI for having a pool. YDI for having parents. FYL for being forced into socializing with people; people suck!

Once again, I tell someone: I am SO glad that YOU moderated this. You saved the rest of us the trouble of clicking that little "yes" button. How can we ever repay you? I like ^ that person's idea of a cookie or parade, but why not combine them? A COOKIE PARADE! YAAAAAAAAAY!

I moderated this one too. I got the key to the city. /hero

lol I can picure you in your closet with tons of people having fun around you. but I have to say, YDI for being ant social. XD

Being in the closet is a whole different story :)
