Embracing borderline agoraphobia

[osbick_bird]

Not going to really plan on going out anymore, where "going out" means venturing into bars. It makes me into an clingy, anxious weirdo and drinking anything more than a glass of wine with dinner makes me depressed for at least a couple of days afterward. In my previous life it was fun, but now it's plainly not worth it. I kind of want to move to

My post-alcohol depression only happens if I drink in public. If I have drinks at home I feel completely fine the next day (mentally, that is... not counting the inevitable 2-3 day hangover). This is why I don't go out to drink any more. Also, please don't go to Alaska. And, let's try to see each other soon.

Your social deficiencies are far more apparent to yourself. Granted, I am a weirdo, but I think you are a pretty amazing person and I wish we lived near each other so I could hang out instead of engaging in voyeurism. Perpetual long distance hugs.

I really need to reassess my own relationship to fermented beverages and my biochemistry. Lately I've been less than pleased with myself while drinking.

Fair enough. Not going out to bars is not a big loss really.

Hope you are still able to enjoy other social settings, and maybe we can get a coffee next time I'm in the PNW
