Second: I'm currently self employed; but, when I had to attend social events, I had the following thoughts:
1) I don't like you people. If I had a choice, I wouldn't associate with most of you if I didn't work with you. You're rude, coarse, hyper-agressive, etc.
2) I was travelling alot at the time, for business. Again, if I had a choice, I'd be at home with my wife, rather than at a hotel with people I don't like (see point 1) ) Amazing how business travel can turn you into a homebody.
