Company BBQ in 1 hour, should I skip? I dont want to socialize with people and I really dont care about these people. its a part time job anyway. But i just started working there so it will look bad.

Just go, but don't arrive till everyone else is there, talk to a person or two for like 20 minutes, then say that it was fun and leave. It's gonna hurt but it must be done unfortunately.
but if I leave early I have to tell them why im leaving
who doesn't go to a BBQ? you ought to go, but i agree with other user, be late. you should always be fashionably late to these kinds of things, and leave whenever you want.
Go. Get free food, relate to shit work with workers, leave when you want.
I had a similar situation a few months ago with a get together with around 15 coworkers. I drunk a little then said I had to go home because I was extremely uncomfortable. No one really noticed me and the few that did tried to include me in the conversation. When I said bye to everyone only one person said it back even though it was a small room and im a pretty huge guy. A few tried to pity me when we came back to work. It sucked balls. Had some really good spaghetti though.
Be the company trap
"family stuff"
nobody is gonna ask questions
It's free food, why not?
I CAN relate. Here is the game plan:
1. Lower your ego and don't think you are special hot shit. You are a professional worker and you have to attend.
2. Think about the girls there and think that you can talk and have fun there.
3. DRINK or take other drugs before you arrive. Enhance your dopamine levels and be relaxed and smile! (I prefer to get drunk)
4. Eat food as early as possible. Now it looks like that YOU are in control and enjoy this situation.
5. Drink some stuff there and talk to people even if they don't like you too much. Just be present.
6. MAYBE A GIRL thinks you are actually cute because you are a "feeling"-type person and you can read between the lines and all that emo shit.
7. After the event you will feel so awesome because you actually DID IT and took that opportunity. I promise.
