Juliette45: Too many times we are misunderstood in life. Sometimes, at the core, is absolute insecurity (usually on a subliminal level), but there - nonetheless.

If you watch closely, everyone is being themselves. With or without alcohol or any other substance. Even on these forums.

Mercedes_00: I log on for fun you know that and anyway we go way back
Yeah I know, but just because some are saying nothing. Doesn't mean they haven't seen. They are making a choice not to participate. Be it right or wrong.
What is right for you may not be for another. Different strokes for different folks.
I don't often speak up either, but it doesn't mean I am not thinking much of that person. I don't imagine that others are not the same.
I make my own calls on situations that may arise and I am fully aware of diversity.
Sometimes though I see affection between posters. That does make me smile.

I would loath for everyone on here to rumble if that was the case I would log off

"Different strokes for different folks. " Great thought...
I have found that good or bad it us best to be who you are. Far to many on dating sites try to put up a front that they feel make them more appealing but in the need the truth does come out. Call it what you will but trying to something you are not is not a good way to try and begin a relationship.

I have no problem with being myself, as u might have noticed on the forums.
I practically don't drink at all. I don't need it to give me a boost. I do smoke, but just cigarettes.
I have had a very hard life, I guess it can still get worse. U learn to cope under whatever the world throws at u, sometimes not excellently, but at least u cope.
You may not be "yourself" without even realising it sometimes... One can easily wander off into a realm of lostness, where your image is twisted and distort to an extent you don't know how different you look from a side... No, I don't need alcohol to be myself but I do lose myself and am misunderstood sometimes...

Alcohol does make it easier for me to hit the dance floor.

If I feel misunderstood, I either explain myself or consider that person as one with whom I will not be especially close, [ when explanations do not work]. I only care about being misunderstood with people and situations that are important to me.
alcohol consumption is not really related to any of this for me. Have a glass

We're often blinded by what we choose not see.
