Am I the only one who doesn't like drinking?
I have never liked alcohol. This past week I was invited out by a friend to join a group of her friends, some of whom I didn't know very well. I was the only one who didn't drink, and some of them got pretty drunk. I don't care about that. because respect should go both ways, and if that's what they want to do, great. I like a lot of them and enjoy our conversations, but I got the sense, as the night wore on and the liquor flowed more freely, that I was not as much "fun" as they wanted me to be...They got louder and I grew more quiet. I do enjoy most of those people and would like to see them again, and I wonder if they will want me around again if they perceive me as...well...boring!
I was a little concerned at the time, but today I feel - without being arrogant, I hope - that I am who I am, and if people don't like it, then tough shit!! If I'm to be rejected, then at least I'll be true to myself. :)
I was just curious if anyone out there had any insights or opinions on this!
