Actually, using alcohol could make the problem worse through classical conditioning. By drinking alcohol every time you get socially anxious, it teaches your body that alcohol is coming. That would make your body get even more anxious to make up for the anxiolytic effect of alcohol. Eventually, not only will you be dealing with social anxiety, but also alcohol cravings. You'd be socially anxious and alcohol dependent.
I understand all of that, my comment was a joke. But I appreciate you pointing this out for others.
cheers 🍻
entirely expected instance name, god bless
omg, is this one of those things where everyone knew they meant something, but I thought it was something else, so I go off on some unprompted lesson of facts and people roll their eyes at me? lol
Tbf, I strongly relate to your top comment and am mostly not autistic, so I think it was worth putting out there.
nah i think it was warranted, but it's just very funny to see a big infodump given at the slightest opportunity, and then reading that instance name
lol, how funny! Im happy you enjoyed it ♥️
