I don't know, I'm not a very social person, people like me though but I prefer not to interact with people unless I have to. It has led to some serious alcoholism because I become the most social person when drunk and people seem to gravitate towards me when I'm drunk because I'm become outgoing, talkative and just goofy.

Discuss being socially awkward and addicted to drugs because of it.

Turning to alcohol is something a lot of people do to get through social situations... cause lowering inhibitions and all that stuff leads to enjoying yourself stress free (^_^)b guess the same with drugs.
I have a few friends who I feel are verging alcoholics cause they just don't know how to have fun unless they're completely drunk.
Personally I avoid drinking... I'm usually kinda socially awkward but in party situations I go crazy just from the atmosphere... I don't want to know what I'd be like drunk. It'd probably be awful and I don't want to do that to my friends (×_×)

I can never go drunk... because I fall asleep before I do, no alcohol for me at parties (well some cocktails, but nothing strong).
To answer troll-san's question, I consider myself social enough, I'm neither a party beast nor an awkward bunny.

Well at least you guys have been to parties. I haven't been to a party so that already points towards me being socially awkward.

I know a bunch of people whom are very social yet never party. If partying isn't your thing don't worry about it, that doesn't necessarily mean you're socially awkward.

I'm more social in person than I am online.

I'm pretty social myself and I never attend parties. The party scene just isn't for everyone, especially if you aren't really into drinking or hooking up. Then you'll just be the weirdo by the cheese puffs bowl complaining about the awful smell and how loud the music is.

This guy's got it all. I'm impressed.

I'm anti-social by choice. Strictly speaking, I love to socialise. Loosely speaking, I hate people's guts. Which makes socialising a little difficult when all I can think about is how much they annoy me.

That being said, their are some great people out there. Just none in my personal life.

I've gone from complete isolationism to regular contact social contact through my time here. Can't say it compells me to be on here more based on how lonely I am. This forum really isn't that good for connecting with others if you ask me.

I'm not talkative most of time because people want to talk about boring shit that doesn't interest me. And if it doesn't interest me i probly don't have much knowledge or experience with it. So i just listen and give simple answers.

Around the right people i can be very talkative but they don't appear often.

Well a better way to put it is that it isn't as good as other platforms. Instant messaging sites for specific groups with a more specific special interest (specific game for example) are the best. I became a top member for a game forum once. But moderators were fascists and didn't like how much influence my clique was getting so we got banned. Then we moved ship and made a LINE group. I don't even play the game anymore, but I've kept in touch with these people for a year and a half, and counting.

I don't think social awkwardness leads everyone to this particular forum. But yes, communicating on the Internet is just easier due to the anonymity and distance. I think it's addicting.

I remember when I was 11 or 12 and we first got AOL. I'd be up until 5 AM on chat rooms and shit, just talking about anything to anyone.

Well, here's my opinion on how you've changed due to being a very socialized person:

First and foremost, alcohol, drugs and also other of the things that are related to them example like, ('dangerous' pills and etc) are really bad (not good) for your health. So, I would like to remind you here that, you, although being in a great social situation and you can convert with other people, you should think better of yourself and take care of your health too. That's my opinion on the bad decision/things that you've just made back then.

But still, you know that both of being a social and non-social person or people are not really a bad thing that we must conclude when we tried to compare both of them. I myself is not really a well-socialized person but of course, from time to time I will make sure on myself to live a good and happy life (since I'm currently living with my family right now). Back to your main title about being a part of a non-social community and also ended up being on MAL with other users here, is one of the most memorable and good things that I've found and what I can do with my life. Couldn't say that it's completed or what, but pretty much sounds like that. Well, you know, there are also many important things that I can learn here, on MAL which also have provided me some information about previous and current anime and manga works from a certain author/writer or creator(s).

So, what I wanted you to know and keep-in-touch is that, you must always take care of yourself better and don't think ill of yourself. Even in a slightest way that makes you wanted to do so. Anyway, it feels good to be able to share my thoughts with you and also to the others on MAL. :)

When I'm not with the gang, I am the most silent and anti-social bastard you'll ever see. I like silence and peace, you know that saying? "some people are like clouds, the day is better when they're not here"? That's spot on in my opinion lol

No, I'm not the most social person, but I'm not an awkward potato either. I feel just comfortable with my small circle of friends.

im very antisocial. im also super unapproachable by most people which is great for me. most people that do end up talking to me say i look like a mass murderer in the making or something similar. which i kinda dislike because i dont want to hurt anyone but it doesnt make me turn to drinking or anything. ill only drink alone because im scared ill say something i dont want to if im drunk and people are around

I have few friends who are close to me. I love speaking to others but something always holds me back. It feels like something at the back of my throat keeping me from saying anything. Its annoying but whattaya gonna do. Like sometimes I want to say hi but my pussy ass bitch subconscious is sucking dick or something. I don't want to resort to drugs or alcohol cuz my family has a history of addiction so whatever.

I think it can help, I always make a really good first impression with people when I'm fucked up, either high or drunk. Hell I made some good friends at the time when I was tripping on shrooms the first time we met. Seems like so long ago because I don't drink anymore and only occasionally smoke but that was back in like 2012. #FindKony #Kony2012

I wouldn't say it ever developed into an addiction or problem. Even when I was drinking 3 days a week for an entire school year it would just be some beers with my 3 roommates, it wasn't like we got blackout drunk partying every night... although that did happen too

More recently though I started hanging out with people from work again (I moved away for 5 months and got back about 2 months ago). My first week back I went out to eat with some people I used to kind of talk to and hang out with at work and we ended up getting really high beforehand. I ended up meeting some new people who started after I left and we started doing other things like going for a run together after work a few times a week.
