I’m retired early at 35 and haven’t worked since before I was 30 (injured veteran.) While limited, I had a fairly functional external life pre-rona but since then my ex I was with for a decade left at the end of the pandemic and I hadn’t been around anyone else my people muscle has atrophied.
I’m bad with people because I’m not around people much, but I’m not around people much because I’m bad with people. I’m bad with people because I’m not around people muchbecauseI’mbadwithpeoplebecauseI’mnotaroundpeoplemuchbecauseI’mbadwithpeoplebecauseI’mnotaroundpeoplemuchbecauseI’mbadwithpeople

A little bit of alcohol and the right kind of music ahead of time. No weed yet that day, if that is manageable. You need to remember, so leverage things that make you remember, like specific songs. The alcohol just loosens you up a little, dulls the sharp point of anxiety slightly. It’s training wheels, don’t let yourself use it as a crutch.
Encouraging people to self-medicate anxiety with alcohol is reckless. I fucked up years of my life thinking I was doing that “reasonably”
