Hello,

I'll keep this short. Struggled with anxiety for years, received therapy and medication; both of which helped but there was always something missing in my social interactions. I could never seem to maintain the conversations and connections with people and tend to have a hard time with first impressions as I get nervous and mess shit up.

I don't drink regularly but when I do, (like two beers in not shit drunk), I notice that my social skills go up. I am not yet at a point at which it has become a dependency but I have noticed that I am inclined to drink more often whenever I meet people I do not know or am not too comfy with.

I know it's not a good road to travel down but idk it's hard to resist the thought of "it's only two beers". So far nothing is near out of my control but should I be worried about this temptation?
