There was a phone at this house party playing music. Some guy comes up and changes it to some country song that no one cared for. I go to change it and he pulls me aside and tells me I can't. I tell him I'm going to. This exchange happens a few times and he swings at me first. I'm a mixture of drunk and high at that chill peak and not expecting any violence. I think I get him a few times but I know he got me in the face about 5 times. He has a sense of panic and leaves the party. Group of guys look at me like I'm covered in ants. Maybe it's because I'm still standing? I don't know. Anyway, the host tells me he thinks highly of me but I have to leave. Whatever. I'm looking for my things and I go outside and ask a girl if she's seen a phone laying around matching a description I give her. One of the dudes flips his shit and says "DONT YOU FUCKING TALK TO HER" dudes are holding him back. I go to my car and try negotiating a ride home with a buddy. I shouldn't drive and my eye is swollen. Another dude comes up and tells me this dude will "kill me". I ask him what for and he says "don't play smart ass". He tells me I've been hitting on all of their girls. All I did was talk to them. I hadn't even made any physical contact with them. I did not go into this party to game just to have a good time. He comes up again later and tells me if I'm getting the fuck out. I'm reclined in my car still negotiating rides "I'm trying". "Don't fucking try and get out" this guy says.

My face hurts like a bitch. Left eye closed shut. I'm going to the docs tomorrow. I was suggested to press charges. Made it home safe and put some ice on it. Used some meds to numb the inside of my mouth.

Has anyone else been in this situation since starting TRP?

UPDATE:

This is the first party I've been to in a while. Wasn't even that big. Maybe 20 people and that's being nice. It was a house party of a friend of mine who is really laid back and kind of a hippie. Everyone seemed really chill. I played pool with a few and just chit chatted.

I didn't initiate the violence. He swung at me as I was changing the music. It was only in self defense.

Why are you hanging around with losers?

Didn't know they were losers until pretty much everyone sided against me. If a guest changes a song, gets attacked for it, and then treated like he's some kind of asshole that deserves it, I will never find myself in that company again.
