Each person there was at a different party. The hosts set the mood somewhat, and our relationship with those people, directly or indirectly, effected our feelings at the party. Would I go to a party hosted by someone with whom there is already tension? probably not. It would start off with tension, and I would feel as if my movements were being judged. But that's just me.
I hope you feel more relaxed and included in the next party you attend. Fortunately there are several regular events that are not as sensually charged, so the kinds of interactions and feelings of exclusion would have a different dynamic. Best wishes for more comfortable socializing.
