The Cellar - View Single Post - I have always admired people who are genuinely social

I could emcee scholarship banquets with wit and eloquence. I could teach classes and earn the respect and admiration of the students. I can talk to students for 10 hours in a row and do a damn good job.

I hate every single minute of it, deep inside.

In social situations, I can hold my own. Give me a couple brewskis and I have everyone rolling, but is that "me" or another version of "me"? Is my introversion hidden by the beer, or is my extroversion enhanced by the beer?

To be fair, I can be completely social without alcohol, and have a good time, but just as often I'd rather be home with my nose in a book.
