Hey everybody,
I have lately a thought in my mind regarding alcohol and social gatherings. I’m 32 years old and never touched alcohol and never smoked. In my teens I’ve noticed my „friends“ slowly pushing me out of our friend group because they wanted to drink and party hard. I never got invited anymore because everything was about getting wasted.
Today it’s not really different. I was often told I’m a boring person, getting side eyed, treated like an outcast or an alien only because of one decision to not drink.
I don’t even go to social gatherings anymore because of it. Tomorrow is a holiday in Germany (1st of may), but it’s celebrated a day before. Maybe I would be fun around people or maybe it would be easier to meet new people. Maybe I would have gotten into more relationships. I feel like I’ve missed out on so much socially.
I feel like I’ve made the wrong choice in my life. Most certain my life would be different if I drank alcohol, but I don’t know for the better.
I just want to leave this thought out here and maybe someone here understands.
