Hello everyone, I hope you have a great weekend, welcome to my blog. Let's go to the topping of the week nro 198 I will focus on Do you feel a person needs to drink alcohol to have a good time in a social setting?, I identified myself with this one because I have a personal experience with it and it usually happens to us.

A long time ago when I went out to have fun I thought a lot about always fitting in because I am not totally social, I am reserved, when I was at a party or meeting I drank and that was how I talked to other people and was social, and for a while now that stopped mattering to me because I am the way I am, I am not a duty just to fit in, it was not right, so I do drink alcohol but with no intention to fit in or to be social.

So, many people think that to have fun and fit in the social environment they need to drink alcohol, feel in the environment and enjoy themselves. Others that if they do not ingest alcohol they do not have a good time at all and I think that everything is in us, it is in the mind that without it we would not have a good time, if you mentalize that to enjoy you have to drink alcohol is what will happen and if you do not try to have fun without it you will not know it. It is to get that absurd idea out of our minds, we can enjoy ourselves in a healthier way and fit in at the same time and if we do not fit in with our social environment is that it is not where we belong is what I understood a long time ago, that if I do not fit in is because I do not belong to that place.
