Depression

It would seem that most people seem to think that. It's always tempting isn't it. That self pity. So easy to fall into. But I think once you climb out of it once then no one has to ever tell you that you don't want to go back. Ever.

I really don't know. Maybe that's the final stage of adolescence. Or maybe it was just the final stage of mine. When you decide to stop feeling sorry for yourself that's when you're all growed up now.

I dunno. But that's not depression. Some people DO call that depression -- and some of them who should even know better. But honestly, that's not what depression is.

When you walk around wearing Ash Ketchum's apparel with a pikachu backpack on it really doesn't matter how old you are.
Hey that was only once!

Walking around in t-shirts and jeans did the trick for me. I never told anyone except for a couple people, one of which was a mega hot chick who was my lab partner for a few years - probably could've slammed it. Anyways, not bringing attention to the fact that I Was older myself ensured that no one else brought attention to it either.

I went back to school at 27. No one gives a shit how old you are. They only want to know if you're willing to be the smart friend so they can fuck off during the inevitable group project you'll get saddled with.

I wish there were a way for me to be slightly drunk all the time without actually being drunk.

I can interact with people when I am. I'm actually kinda normal. My brain shuts off just enough for me to function.

Unfortunately I was in engineering so every project for 4 years was a group project.

I'm the same with dancing. Won't dance in front of people but if I get drunk they call me crazylegs.

I don't think being socially reserved and then socially lubricated under the effects of alcohol is exactly a psychological disorder. I think it is called being a normal human.

The problem with that plan Troll is when you actually want to concentrate but can't. It's fucking frustrating and gets old fast.

And Tenks... for some people a bit of lube is helpful, but others are so seized up they feel they have to get greased to the point that when they finally are ready to go everything just slips out and makes a mess.

Everyone knows that pre-gamer that is done before the game even begins, and we've all probably done it "on accident" a time or ten. There's a balance, but that balance is a moving target that gets harder and harder to hit. Next thing you know, you're holding on to the floor to keep from falling into the ceiling.

Hell, there's even a Too Drunk to Fuck T-shirt.

I was more commenting on Noodle not Troll. Troll seems to have actual psychological issues that extend beyond "I'm reserved around strangers but I'm not if I have a few drinks in me."

Yeah. I cannot talk to people... hell, barely look at someone's face... unless I've had one or two.

I know it's a bad idea. That's why I want the feeling that comes with itwithoutactually drinking.
