I do find a drink or two helps me to feel more comfortable in social situations (it gets me to relax and talk more), but I’ve never been drunk and the idea of being drunk sounds like 0 fun.
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. 😂
I've only been to one "party" and I don't know If this has anything to do being quiet or being noticed as anxious, but I've been told this framed like "you know, your social behaviour is a little weird when you're sober, so maybe getting drunk makes you a little more normal" (this sounded a little like Homeopathy, where like cures like). This is the only thing I can imagine he could have been implying. I never have been drunk. Anonymous friend was really into drinking. Our group of friends just lived past these occasionally intolerant moments from him, so It wasn't that bad, and he didn't support right wing extremism last time I checked, so I can't be sure he non-jokingly has negative feelings towards people who don't act like him. I don't really know what to say here. I understand being afraid of the consequences of drinking, like loss of memory and loss of control (the point), and I don't really ever expect to want to drink.
