I was at a birthday party the other day and I hardly spoke at times and was asked if I was okay twice. At one point I said something after being quiet for a long time and someone said "you're still with us?" and laughed. Not as bad as the underground man but enough to make me feel awkward and disconnected.

Did they want you to leave? Asking if you're "ok" would subtly signal disapproval with your perceived lack of engagement. If they think so little of you that you're easily mocked among peers, should you really be there? If you were hurt by a comment, you're seeking validation from people that probably despise you (passively). Shit sucks, bruv.

The guy who said it seemed genuinely friendly but the girl looked offended

Basically I ruined a friend's graduation party by sharing way too intimate situations about our roommate period because I thought it was banter. His parents and fiance didnt appreciate his nightly escapades or the time we stranded his dad's sloop.

I've grown accustomed to that little flat look in someone's eyes when I've gone too far during a conversation in which I've been engaging until that point: a little hollow beat, the light dimmed.

I was once a party hosted by my best friend. I'd stayed the night before as well and it had been amazing; the next day, I smoked one joint, immediately had a horrible mental breakdown, went home and whipped myself with a belt.
