There are other people at that party - it is not just them. Indeed - as Tara tells us in season 6, she has 'many dear friends'
There's a difference between parties with 'only close friends' and parties where you know only one person. You've really never gone along to a school friend's birthday where it's just you and their new college friends? Who do all know each other and really aren't that interested in this person from their new friend's life before?
There's also a difference between a night out where strangers will be, who you might get talking to - and a night out where you are the only person in a group who doesn't know everyone else and everyone else is friendly. Clearly that is what Buffy is worried will happen. As that is clearly what she states. Even if you're not a misanthrope, that doesn't make people who are awkward in social situations bad people and does not mean that Buffy should enjoy hanging out with total strangers. She isn't looking to hook up with one of Tara's friends.
They are not - in any way - unsupportive of Willow because they aren't jazzed about Tara's birthday party. Just like they weren't unsupportive of Willow in something blue. Sometimes you do stuff for friends that you don't want to do - it's the fact you do it that makes you a friend, the fact that personally you'd rather gouge your own eyeballs out than do it does not make you unsupportive.
