Hi, our work colleague is leaving and another colleague is organizing what we will bring to her small farewell party for a meal-everyone should be bringing something, it's friendly gesture to stay together and to say goodbye.
I have no really close connections to the colleague who is leaving, because to tell the true I don't like her. She more communicates to other colleagues than me. At my workplace I ma like the black sheep,- some people tries to prof something to me ,-their knowledge about thing I already know.I avoid such people as I don't like them,, -Simple and silent,-loner. There's not many people to simply communicate with who don't want to pretend being smart. She is like that- wants to show that she knows a lot but she does not know that I also know that thing..
I true to myself... I wouldn't like to go there and bring the food, I wouldn't be able to swallow anything, I barely like anyone at our workplace too.
Shall I still go there, make friendly face and be a part of a team, together with everyone?
Please advice

It's a party. There's nothing here to fret. Go and talk to your friends from work and enjoy their company. Be civil to the departing colleague you don't like.

It doesn't cost you anything to be nice on this last night, and it's a party. Go or don't, but don't make it into an issue. It's just a party.

She's leaving and you won't have to deal with her any longer, but that you will still have to deal with all of the remaining work-mates.

Go to the party. You don't have to stay for hours, just make an appearance and talk to the work- mates you get along with.

Yes, company politics, if you don't, you could soon be seen as a poor sport. Off duty parties in some companies are more important at times than your actual work performance
