Discussion Post | Types of People at a Dinner Party

Hey everyone! Welcome or welcome back to my blog!

So, being the person I am, I don’t get invited to that many parties. But I do have friends who have significantly larger social circles than I do, so I get to tag along sometimes, and I have made astute observations, my friends.

Anyway, so without further ado, let’s get started!

1. The hyperactive: The one who is high on coffee or Redbull
   So, I went to two parties in February, and at both these parties there was at least one person who was high on either coffee or Redbull. These people were absolutely crazy, and did not have a filter on their mouth. They talked- a lot.
   
2. The Couple: The ones who came to the party less for the person who hosted it, more so they can meet each other.
   Now, as a lot of you know, I live in India. And in India, not a lot of parents know about their kids dating. So, they makes false excuses to meet up with each other, and have to do a lot of work. But here, they are getting an awesome chance to meet up with their date, without excuses, why the hell would they not go?! They go there, hold hands and do whatever the hell it is couples do.
   
3. The Rhesus Monkey: The social animal
   Here’s your fun fact for the day: Rhesus Monkeys are extremely social animals. Just like Rhesus monkeys, there are people who are extremely social. They at least make sure and go and say hi to every single person at the party, and obviously chat up with at least 50% of the people and find out what’s going on with them.
   
4. The Late-Comer: I mean, there are always a few of them right?
   So, these people arrive at the dinner party about forty five minutes after the designated time- please keep in mind, I am talking about dinner parties, where food’s supposed to be ordered. Being late 20-25 minutes (Guilty) is not that bad, because people are just settling down then. But forty five minutes is a big no-no.
   
5. The Uninterested/Introvert: *silently thinks: Why am I even here?*
   Okay, these people simply come to the party because… well I don’t know why they come to the party?! Maybe because they need their daily dose of social interaction? I don’t know!
   
   (Suprisingly, if a person is introverted or uninterested- their reaction is pretty similar)
   
6. The Loud, Boisterous: *shouts this out loud*
   This person is the reason why the group gets kicked out of the restaurant, or at the very least gets disapproving looks from everyone around. They’ll yell stuff across the table, and *some* of it, is actually not family friendly, so the parents would literally shoot them with their eyes if they could.
   
7. The Chameleon: The one who fits in
   Okay, so you make this person sit anywhere on the table, and they’ll fit in and just blend with the people around! I am in awe of these people, because I can never just make conversation with someone.
   
8. The Crew: That one group at the side of the table
   There is this one group at the side of the table which has their own talk going on. They resurface from the their discussion from time to time, but they enjoy the company of the people around them, so yeah. It’s not that they don’t enjoy the company of others, but it’s just the way they’re seated, and everything.
   
9. The Silent Observer: *steals looks at practically everyone*
   I feel like this is me, because I do end up observing the behaviours of a lot of people, and end up getting some juicy goss (Blegh, that sounded like such a bitchy thing to say). But like, yeah, I do enjoy observing people in general (not in a creepy, perverted way more in an interested in people’s behaviours’ way)
   
10. The Foodies: *munch munch* Who’s party is this, again?
    As soon as these people hear that XYZ is throwing a party and paying for all the food, they accept the invite. Once they mutter a hello to the hosts, they straight away start ordering the most expensive dishes on the menu and devour the food like they’ve never eaten before.
    
    Also, this last one was given by Prashansa @Reader’s Alcove in the comments!
