i literally want nothing to do with office social life

idk if i can post this here but ive been working at a small startup of approx 30 people for almost 4 months now and i think i am the only one who doesn’t give a shit about after-hours socialization. i like most of the people i work with. they’re nice people and it makes getting through the day a little easier. however my office culture is very centered around things like happy hours, game nights, and other activities where people will stay at the office getting drunk until 8-9pm. i just don’t give a shit about it. i like seeing these people every day but when i’m done with work i want to go home. it seems like this mindset is generally looked down upon by my coworkers and i get comments and slack messages every single time i skip one. i’ve gone to a few of these “events”…
