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..

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.

Used to go all in. Meanwhile I'm in my 30' and decided to not drink alcoholic beverages anymore. Trying to become more myself or Real me.
