I can't afford it and I don't drink. I get what you are saying, but 'just be normal' comes off as ableist bullshit advice though and doesn't mean anything. It's normal for me and everyone I know to not go to a bar after work.

Everyone is missing your chill vibes tho lmao order a club soda.

E: this felt shitty and I deleted it, but then restored it since comrade was nice enough to reply. Sorry for being an ass you're cool.

I actually did join a coworker for a drink not long ago and had a soda haha. I would never have been the type to sit at a bar but this one in particular is pretty cool. I usually do have chiller vibes than my comments online suggest, sorry if I came off a bit hostile.
