Leaving a party early because of "intellectual loneliness" is like giving up on dating because you feel that potential dates <insert made-up reason for them not liking you>.
I feel there's just a low likelihood that in any single encounter, that the person is going to be interested in going where you're going. That could be conversations, dating and similar.
Putting your stuff on Twitter is going to get the engagement you're looking for because you have a higher hit rate when you have thousands of viewers. When dating, you probably won't get that specific person to talk to you, but among a large pool, you'll likely find someone who reaches "good enough" territory.
Doing parties right is just improv. Go in with a "yes, and..." style of conversation. If you're learning something, it's about doing better at the improv. Otherwise, just have fun and play.
