hello again.
i was the one who first suggested alcohol. i now understand that it has a history in your past. it has a history in mine also, i lost my grandfather due to alcohol. it did turn me against it until i tried it.
what i was trying to say before is that it helped me come out of my shell also. ppl used to see me as the scary goth kid who said nothing and interacted only with his other goth friends.
alcohol acts as a boost to self confidence. it wont fix ur problems long term i understand but i spose if ur looking to have a happy night then i spose its the trick.
i myself thought of therapy as an option to help solve my problems. but i thought that it would shame me more reaching out and telling a complete stranger all my problems.
there is one man who may be able to help you. Tony Robbins.
he has helped me change my life from being a dark lonely boring person to the type of person i want to be. independent, kinda interesting and someone that ppl can talk to. im not exactly the person i want to be but ill get there.
note down the things that u dislike about yourself then look for ways that you could improve them.
like what i did. i joined a gym to improve my figure. this has helped me heaps, cos its not always me who has to start conversations. some girls come and talk to me.
its good to hear that ur not wanting to blame others. but that will only be beating urself up. look for fixes and not where to send the blame
we cant always do all that we want to alone, some times we need help from others. its good to see that uve taken the first step by writing in this forum.
i bid you good luck and i hope that what i have typed is of some use to you.
you are important, you do matter
