Hey all,
So, as a college student, social situations and parties are a huge part of campus life. Obviously, so is drinking. As someone who has moderate social anxiety, I have a very hard time being in these kind of situations while sober. I usually end up standing against the wall watching people have fun. I'm going into my senior year, and I'd really like to be able to get out more, so I'm looking into other options.
Don't get me wrong: I love drinking. I love being drunk, as it kills the anxiety and I get to have a good time. What I don't love is the hangover. It's unfortunate that the only way for me to enjoy myself in social situations comes with a price-tag of a day of sitting in front of a toilet. I don't usually drink to excess either. By the time I drink enough to be tipsy, I can pretty much guarantee that I'll be miserable the next day. My hangovers are far worse than anything I have any right to expect.
Anyway, I'm looking for a social lubricant that has similar inhibition-reducing properties without the debilitating side effects. Weed is great for nights where you just want to chill with friends, but it doesn't really do it for going out and meeting people. I can't say that I've tried taking nothing but Xanax and going out, but that'll probably be my next shot. Things like Klonopin are also an option that I'm exploring.
Any other ideas? There's literally nothing I can't get my hands on, so I'm not worried about that. Not so much worried about price either. Thanks as always for the suggestions.
