The struggle is worse the older you get.

    I’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.
