How common is not attending your own graduation?

I’m graduating from college in December of this year. It may sound strange, but I don’t really want to attend my graduation ceremony. If high school was any indication, there’s nothing fun about sitting in a crowded room for hours listening to boring speeches and waiting for my name to be called so I can walk across a stage, praying I don’t trip in my heels, and taking awkward pitchers in a ugly cap and gown.

I went to college to study what I love and get a degree. I didn’t bother making friends, so it’s not as if I’ll be in any “we made it!” group photos. And paying $800+ for the graduation package is an expense I can’t really afford.

Is it at all common to skip the ceremony or is it generally unheard of? I know my parents will be disappointed, but is that any reason to go?
