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.

I'll step in, failures. A lot, and I mean a lot of failures. It takes a while to learn that there's and ebe and flow to a party, a lot of people feel pressured to always be interesting at a party. Not possible, embrace the flow and learn to let the ebe pass by. I have done sooooo many embarrassing things at a party but you know what, I'm not dead. I'm not an outcast. None of those predictions happened.

Also know when to go home. Every party will hit one of two points late into the night, either the party will run out of gas or it'll rev up. Either way, go home. Nothing good ever happens after 3:00 am.
