But not for Loose_Lips'. I said that for his benefit, but it's not to say that your philosophy isn't right for you. It just wouldn't jive with his.

naw, I wasn't referring really to being shy. Lot's of people are shy around new people. I was more referring to how lots of guys/girls get when they enter a frat/sorority house for the first few times at my college. It's really obnoxious.

On the open and shy issue, I believe both can be positive and negative depending on the situation. Setting and environment is crucial for me. Perhaps I'm just not "chic", but this past weekend, I attended an art show at a new gallery in town and found myself really out-of-place and put off by how the show was more so revolved around the people and what they were wearing, not the art. Needless to say, I babysat the free cheese and wine until I was able to admire a painting without someone kissing me on the cheek. After, I went to a house party and was immediately social and open. I agree with both veridical and vanilla - it's good to take a step back and just watch, but more fun if you just dive in and wing it.

For me, the situation is no match for how much alcohol I've drank prior. I tackle every problem with a shot or 5. It helps, because I'm naturally introverted.

^ That is not a good idea. You should rely on alcohol in order to feel good around other people, that kind of behaviour can lead to alcoholism.

I didn't fit the stereotype though, still don't. I just prefer to start a good time with a good "wine". Once I'm up and at 'em, I'm good to go. I don't require alcohol to feel good around folks. It just makes for better conversation IMO. Half of what I said in that response was jokery.

Well considering you were drunk by yourself while posting the other day it's hard to know what you're on. You're in denial I think.

Also, I don't start a drunken period by myself. I just happen to end up by myself when I'm done socializing. Ending up alone usually happens eventually regardless of whether you drink or not.
