I am completely allergic to parties that other women throw at their homes to sell things. I don't mind parties or even parties with all women what I hate is the obligatory shopping. I hate the idea of going, but I like the idea of having friends. If I don't go will they not invite me to things that don't involve shopping. If I go, I feel uncomfortable, unfriendly and risk not being invited to things that don't involve shopping. I like to shop on my own, in a store, without alcohol or food. Am I crazy?
