How the fuck do I socialize without alcohol? >22 >gets

>>18639281

>can't seem to accept

what do you mean by this? do they kill you? do they force it down your throat? do they literally stop responding to you when you try to set up future plans? if so just meet new people. seriously, you're throwing this out of proportion. my best friend has only ever had champagne once in his life. he socializes just fine, even at bars. people question it, but once they realize he isn't judging them they don't care.

i drink here and thereb ut cant much because I was in a car crash and now when i drink i get sick way too easy. people ask questions, and then its right back to normal.

and as a result we also just have each other when we do feel the pressure is a little strong. there are plenty of people in every community who dont drink or dont mind having you over when they are drinking.

also, nice ass, would fuck.

By that I mean people keep asking why I don't drink after I've already told them. Maybe I am blowing it out of proportion..im just pissed right now cause I've been cooped up this entire month in a new city where I don't know anyone. Now I think about it..i used to be okay with being around my friends who would drink but now I can't stand it

if someone repeats themselves you can just repeat your self or brush it off. if they're drinking chances are it wont weigh hea vy on their mind the next day and the friendship wont be affected.

but like anything, there is a burden. you get to whine about this, sluts get to whine about being single, girls in relationships get to whine about how they miss sleeping around. no matter what you do there is some sort of burden. this ones yours. deal with it and keep doing what you like.

seriously though post more booty pics

Yeah but I didnt choose for my body to react terribly with booze..I'll choose to place mysef in social situations cause its human nature. When social interaction revolves so heavily around alcohol It's just not enjoyable...

>>18639337

i honestly disagree wtih the notion that it revolves heavily around alcohol. Again, i dont really drink my self, and i manage to have a good time, and thats without going to bars. there is so much to do, and most of it does not require alcohol, and there are plenty of people who dont revolve their lives around alcohol. maybe YOU need to expand your horizons and get some perspective on this.

As a 23 year old who used to drink insane amounts of alcohol I can promise you that you don't need alcohol to have fun at 22. Get a hobby dude. Find something that makes you happy and do it. If alcohol is literally the only way you can relate to people around you and enjoy yourself then you have a problem and you should be seeking professional help.

>>18639340
True..what do you do for fun if you don't mind me asking? Honestly I would love it if I had friends that loved working out as much as I do..that would be a game changer but nope they all thoroughly enjoy the party scene

>>18639342
Its not that I feel its the only way...but its just so prevalent...i have a few hobbies but the people I tend to click with are social drinkers

>>18639352

i do all sorts. im very productive / project based. most of my friends are people who are also project based, when we meet its often to work on a project. i just spent the last month filming a movie with some of my best friends. outside of those two I have more casual friends who i work with on smaller projects, we mostly help each other work through our writing issues and planning issues and help set up each others projects so we can each handle our own individually.

when NOT doing project based stuff we like to go out ot eat a LOT, were foodies. Then outside of that we go to the beach here and there, depends on the weather, but i lovej ust walking the beach even at night. its nice. we take small trips to santa barbara to escape the city.

I'm also a nudist and host nudist game nights and things like that. I play video games here and thereb ut only with friends or nudists. really into board games but havent played in a long time so im buying a bunch of new ones and starting up my board game meetings.

once in a while we do something more weird like play lasertag or whatevers trending in the city and the like.

If only I could meet people who live like you...

>>18639390

well do you make any projectS? cuz otherwise its kinda hard. even when i do meet someone outside of a project i dont bond well. im a little TOO project oriented, not much else matters. all those other things i do tend to be with other project based people to cool off inbetween projects.


but we exist all over the world. you COULD meet people who live like me, you just gotta go do stuff instead of insisting that alcohol is the only thing people care about.

So make some different friends. It's not hard if you're not autistic. I did it.

its okay. you dont have to be project oriented either. but you gotta be something oriented. from what i can understand you havent been passionate about much other than working out and evne that sounds recent. without anything specific to focus on you arent going to have any friends that do anything other than go out to eat and well, drink.

there are other people who enjoy working out as much as you though, tal kto people at the gym, see what classes they take and what kind of things they do outside of the gym. many go on hikes and similar physical adventures.

my friends a fitness instructor and when hes not instructing hes usually running around the hills with friends just doing other exercise oriented things.
