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..

When I drink to socialize I get anxious later because I can't replay the entire conversation in my head and know if I said anything weird

Yeah, hangovers are bad enough, not remembering what I said or did really makes the fallout of drinking not worth it for me.
