Comment on It's all SO simple!
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 day agoI’m open to suggestions. I’ve tried weed but it doesn’t do it for me. Also alcohol lets me have fun socializing instead of just getting stressed out. I’ll take the trade off.
Life is not always comfortable but it can get more comfortable provided you make yourself uncomfortable first.
The more crutch you use, the weaker your muscle to deal with these awkward situations becomes.
Don’t forget the “why” and ask yourself “what’s the worst that could happen” when you reach for alcohol vs simply talking to people and letting yourself naturally settle.

I’ve literally done this hundreds of times. I don’t enjoy it. At best I’m just on on edge. At worst I’m having actual panic attacks.
I have Panic and Anxiety. I know the feeling quite well and it I don’t always overcome it.
Like anything else, it’s a skill you can learn.
Yeah, I’ve been tanking this shit at work all day long for 25 years. I think I’m about as good at it as I’m going to get.

Suggestion: LSD or LSD analogues in an amount just north of a micro dose. Have had folks report back feeling alert, chatty, and very open to having silly and/or indepth conversations with strangers. That and (compared to a night of drinking) waking up feeling like a million bucks, if a little tired depending on how late they stayed up as a result.
Your mileage may vary (perhaps significantly), but hey, it’s an honest suggestion. Comes with its own risks too, but doesn’t everything that isn’t just clean living and self-improvement?
