i've been to parties and i was at festningen natt til første and 17. mai, i've been politically active, i've represented SV in school debates, i've been to summer camp, i've been to conferences, i've attended debattskolering, i have marched in 1. mai-tog.
it's really weird.
i just skipped to the last page so i dont know if youve been over it already but what happened to this ^ you, do you not do any of those things anymore? i get the politically active part tho cus i ditched that a few years back as well but like general social acitivity (this is not meant as a diss, just the impression i got from you saying your life is heavily focused on interwebs)
i have a very difficult relationship with alcohol, i don't really know why, it's not like my parents are actually alcoholics or something. i do think my mother is drinking way more than she should, and i think it's an utter waste of money. basically, what changed was that people started drinking very much and it all started being about sex and parties and that's not really for me, the extreme focus on drinking with the purpose of getting shitfaced. i know i'm very judgemental so it's better i'm not present than me going around like ah yes all my respect for other people is gone because they're dumb as fuck when they're drunk. i went to a few parties and i ended up babysitting my friends. i know i don't come off as the type that does that, but i do. i'd rather make sure they don't do anything they'll regret than listening to them complaining about the stupid shit they did and not being allowed to laugh at it. i explained to my mate that it was far better if he waited with urinating until he was inside the house as there were toilets there, instead of pissing on other people's mailboxes. It's very annoying.
the parties were always wayy too much, it was always one step away from the police interfering - and not because of noise, but because they didn't stupid shit. like throwing glass bottles off the roof of an apartment building. it's just very below my level.
i think it's weird discussing because i know i don't come off like someone who would ever attend to things like this, fuck i even helped prepare for parties. there were several times i was there early to help, and i usually left rather late too. i even drank at some stage, never to a degree that i actually noticed anything.
but it became too much and i realised that i had compromised with my personal values and it's too great of a sacrifice. i really do have issues with alcohol.
and it seems stupid, but one of the reasons is that i'm pretty much 100% positive i'm genetically more prone to addiction than the average person, i've even noticed that even with things that aren't addictive i struggle moderating my consumption. i'm not going to risk it, i'm sure i know what future i'll have if i cross the line, even once. it's not worth it.
so it doesn't help that my brain doesn't work currently and it's like there are drugs that would help. i won't test it but it doesn't help that my brain even suggests it. so yeah just no. it's a bad, bad idea.
@potionsky
oh okay i see, and i back you in the desicion of abstaining from alcohol when you believe you are prone to addiction (not that i think you acutally need a reason either cus ya know freedom of choice), so that sounds good. but you are now 22? and what i see with my friends (even tho most of them, including me, is the get shtifaced-type) most can enjoy alcohol now for the company rather than the buzz itself, so if you do miss the social aspect wouldnt it be an idea to join lets say a quiz night at a bar? one where people consume a few units (not you, but the others on your team) but not enough to become ghouls and idiots, cus i do see you as a person who i would like to go on a quiz night with
