Whenever someone has done that I end up pretending it’s fine until it’s socially acceptable to stop.

Stop caring so much about what others think..

This can be applied the other way too: stop caring so much about people not wanting to dance. They're adults and can make their own decisions about what's fun for them, it's not your responsibility to force them to enjoy something.

Just so you know, if I ever met you at a party I probably secretly resent you and I'm guessing I'm not alone.

I DONT LIKE DANCING. I DONT LIKE THE THING THAT YOU LIKE.

This is fine, I completely get it. My comment was more on the fact that you seem to care enough about what others think that you pretend you like it. Why not just tell people the same thing that you wrote in all caps, possibly adding "fuck off" if they still don't get it.

Because then my choices are:

1) give in and pretend to go along with it.

2) look like an asshole at a wedding.

Sorry if I don’t want to ruin someone’s wedding lol.
