When I’ve had alcohol, I’m so carefree, my constant overthinking stops, and my personality shines through. Is it possible to reach that effect without alcohol? Please tell me it is

paint your face in joker makeup each day

y’all act like such a******s on here for no reason

This post makes no sense.

Reported.

alcohol

The reaction gives them a semblance of significance in their dreary meaningless lonely life.

We’re trying to not become alcoholics here

Step out and find a hobby. Relying on substance abuse to “stop overthinking” is horrible. So many other ways to get your mind distracted and moving

Have u tried practicing staying in the present i'm currently doing that atm helps a lot

that sounds great but I dont drink so idk

Having lots of fun

D****

That doesn’t answer the question fam. When I’m with a group of people conversing, how do I get the same mind state as when I’ve drank alcohol.

Long, tedious, unrewarding, humdrum process. Have been trying to practice mindfulness for the last 5 years. Has anyone actually excelled in that motherfucking s***?

You can't really reach that exact feeling honestly, only way I can think of is hilarity

Lame

What’s hilarity

Live in the moment
convince yourself that a lot of things don't really matter if anything turns out bad cause you will handle it anyway

Like laughing really hard and you can't stop and it makes you feel really good

This sounds scary

Like to force that

Oh yeah I'm not talking about forcing it, I do know some people do that as a form of therapy though but I don't know if it works

Just be drunk all the time

Yewh but like in a conversation that's not guaranteed

So I'm just imagining like trying to speak to someone normally and they just go like full hyena from the lion king and start scream laughing before replying

Wait so I've been doing convos wrong all along
