Sadly, yes, alchohol makes me feel less shy and selfconsience. It takes away the feeling of caring and all, so I just get talking and all and say whatever comes to my mind. I tend to be alightwieght though, and so people around me really find it amusing...plus they are all suprised. It's a bit embarising and sort of scares me, the fact that alchohol helps me so much. It makes me wonder how much it's the idea of drinking that helps me have an excuse and all or whatever it really does that to me. If that makes sense. It also makes me sad, the fact that everyone hears me talk when I'm drunk but not so much when I'm not. If I can do all that when I'm drunk, maybe if I can find away to get past the "blockage" maybe there is a way to help myself.
