I’ve had a lot of people in my life say I completely change when I’m drunk, but in a good way. People generally seem to love drunk me and people who normally wouldn’t give me the time of day when I’m sober want to talk to me and be around me when I’ve had a few drinks. I don’t need many, even just one glass of wine dramatically improves my personality. I guess I let my guard down, let my mask slip. I’m quite childlike, I feel free.
Sober me (around people I don’t know very well) is very reserved and quiet, a bit socially awkward. I find social situations scary and exhausting. Going to a social occasion and not drinking frankly terrifies me.
Sometimes “drunk me” comes out when I’m completely sober but with people I completely trust and doing something I love. So I feel like this is my true personality, I just wish I could be that all the time without the drink!
Am I alone in this?
