Being Drunk To Overcome Shyness

Wait - you got drunk for a high school public speaking project?! Well.. that's probably not good. But I do agree.. Drinking and being "intoxicated" in general really loosens us up - releases some of our inhibitions and gives us a little "liquid courage", especially to those of who don't have naturally outgoing personalities..But it's a little bit of dangerous territory, don't you think? I mean it's fun to NOT have social anxiety for once but you also don't want to get addicted - and you also don't want to start drinking every day just so that you can have this effect on your psyche. But you're right - drinking and being intoxicated DOES help your shyness.. it kind of just makes it disappear, doesn't it?

Well, getting drunk makes you feel more open to talk, but I don't recommend this :) There are other ways. And in my opinion, better ways. You can overcome your shyness just for the moment. But it won't help you overcome it at all.

hey me too is thinking to do this. I got a seminar coming up next week and i have big stage fear problem. When i get up to the front of the class my mouth goes dry,i stutter, etc etc.. But when i've had some drinks i really feels the loosening of my mind.. I can not only make speech but sing and dance before an audience, i know im looking stupid to them but i just dont care..

Lol...good thing you weren't caught dude! Well, actually my friends do that as well. They get drunk when they wanna talk to a girl that they like. haha. And as for me, I feel really really confident when I'm drank. I usually have a hard time telling someone how I feel...but when I'm drank, its just so easy.
