Negative Nancy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 As somebody who did my share of crazy stuff back in the day people these days are amateurs. That's what every generation says about the last one. I bet the next generation is going to say the same thing about the stuff you did. Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 That's what every generation says about the last one. I bet the next generation is going to say the same thing about the stuff you did. Trust me they are. Look at all the people these days who can't stand up on stage because they had a few drinks. Rockstars back in the day did tons of drugs and still went on stage and did great shows. Link to post Share on other sites

Unless you have an addiction to taking pills you can only speculate. Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan9 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've partied a lot. I can tell you that I was never truly happy during those years. The truth is happy people don't need to get drunk. People get drunk to escape reality. You aren't going to find quality women who drink. Women who drink aren't women you want. When people are drinking, those are the bad times of their lives. A lot of people don't realize this. You aren't meeting the real, actual happy person when you meet a person who drinks a lot. You're meeting the escapist. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing wrong with social drinking but people who need to be drunk to be happy have some issues. I had some wild times myself but I didn't need to get drunk every weekend until I was puking my guts out to be happy. Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Sahagin Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Op your post is soooooo refreshing. Im 24 and have always hated the party scene. Everyone my age just wants to drink party do drugs and ****...wash rinse repeat. No you are not a lost cause. Stick to your interests and you will meet people with the same. You will form better bonds and more meaningful relationships than the clubbers do anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
Nikki Sahagin Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Also agree that big drinkers are often unhappy people.... Either... Socially awkward/anxious Easily bored Going through a personal problem Insecure inside Alcohol in small doses is great to help you feel a lil more confident but if you are using it excessively it shows you dont know how to make yourself happy without substances. People drink to get away from there thoughts...but really they need to be listening to those thoughts. For instance most people in my old job used to get pissed after work. Most of them were miserable in the job but you can just drink and pretend its all ok rather than reevaluate what needs to be different. I also find big clubbers deeply uninteresting people as a rule.

Woggle Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Having been a bartender for a few years I saw what people really are like when they are drunk and I was sober. It is nothing to aspire to at all. Link to post Share on other sites
stitch702 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Don't worry about it, when I got to college I had already gone through my party phase. I grew up overseas where there was really no drinking age so by the the time I had gone to college I was starting to get over it. However I did enjoy some of the college partying I did, but it's always good to find a balance. I understand you are the out doorsy type? Well why dont you ask around if your campus has an outdoor program? Mine did so I got to meet a lot of like-minded people on the weekends. I found some hiking forums and off-road forums I joined and made some really great friends. Link to post Share on other sites
Mariibabii Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm the same way. I don't drink, party or smoke. I'm pretty much a homebody. At 22, it's a social death sentence. Might stay single till I'm in my 30s... Link to post Share on other sites
