Anyone knows this sentence? I had a lot of people saying that when I was younger. I also knew alcohol would do magic to my anxiety.

By now I’ve learned that it doesn’t need alcohol to have people actually liking you.

I mean. I’m still anxiety-me. But surrounding myself with people who like me.

And right now to feels useless to write this, like it doesn’t have a point. Excuse me…

    When I drink to socialize I get anxious later because I can’t replay the entire conversation in my head and know if I said anything weird

      Yeah, hangovers are bad enough, not remembering what I said or did really makes the fallout of drinking not worth it for me.

    It seems so easy to skip feeling anxious with booze. I always kinda want to for bigger parties. but, the Consequences :(

    People without a little anxiety are insufferable. Anxiety prevents everyone from just spraying mental vomit everywhere.

    What they actually mean is they think other people are more fun when they’re drunk.

    I went to a concert last night with a very drug forward crowd. I got a ticket for a seat at a table, happened to be next to a rope divider. A bunch of people moved it and started hanging out and dancing and kept knocking into me.

    This girl at one point bumped into my foot instead of my leg, then told the others I kicked her. Those guys started threatening me, and she started running around the venue telling everyone and rousing up a mob.

    I obviously just left. I think I’m not going to that venue anymore, I love the spot but I simply do not do enough drugs to relate to the people who go there anymore. 😂
