Why am I only cool and alive when I'm drunk or on something?

You are inhibited and spend your time as a sober person pretending to be someone else, which is boring. Drunk you is real you and people like him

You FEEL cool when you're drunk.

Trust me - you aren't

it increases dopamine and represses a certain part of your brain that controls your actions. i'm not a doctor though, i'm actually a drunk person (as of writing this). don't drive, don't handle any knives, don't light any fires, and don't send any messages

You may have Asperger's

Have you tried cocaine?

As an alcoholic, I relate.

Because your defective brain can't feel pleasure in normal ways. Anhedonia. It's for life.
Be wise, you have only one body for your whole life, have fun in your trip.

Don't fall into the trap of relying on alcohol to be social. I did and I ended up losing years to alcoholism.

Now I work out consistently, take great care of my health, and make sure I get enough sleep. I'm naturally more vibrant and confident when sober to the point that I actually don't like drinking when I go to the clubs, I just drink some caffeine like 2 hours before and that's enough to get me talking.

how do you turn off the inhibition and punishment circuitry that fires at every single social cue when sober

If you can recall how you acted and what you did while drunk, just replicate that until it becomes natural while sober. Get yourself used to acting without inhibition, since it seems to be a winning formula.

i know 100%, i just take up space and don't have defensive body language and can keep a conversation going and instantly respond to what people are saying and sound confident even if it isn't the exact right thing said perfectly

when I'm sober because of how my mother raised me i get a flinch or cringe trigger every time i:
>want to say something
>hear the monotone of my voice
>hear myself trying to add emotion and tone so i sound authentic
>try to sit around other people
>try any physical action like opening a door or picking something up, it's like "am i doing this in an awkward way an embarrassed pussy would?"
>express any desire or want that isn't just repeating what someone else already said

i literally can't just replaicate how i act with imbibing ethanol when sober because there's not the voice constantly interrupting to say "what are you doing you fucking retard" "you stupid shit why did you do it like that" and so on
