Why does alcohol do this to me?

I am a shy person,so i sometimes drink to boost my confidence. When i drink enough to help me relax,i can talk and not worry so much,but once the alcohol wears off i go back to my normal quiet self,why is this?
Answer:
you just need to be more assertive without using the alcohol--if you don't change that now you will always need to or become to need alcohol for anything in life that you are too shy to do on your own---i would try drinking to the point that you are almost comfortable enough to talk to people and then kind of give yourself a shove to do it while you are still a little on the uncomfortable side---being shy is a hard thing to overcome --but I'm sure once you get to know people you are outgoing with them aren't you? Most shy people find if they can find the courage 10 times to say to people what they are thinking that they would like to say if they weren't so shy--they overcome it---so next time you want to jump into a conversation but are shy--do it--and when you've done that 10 times you will have had some practice with it and be more comfortable--your opinions matter too--so talk about them! hope this helped out and good luck!

Alcohol makes you lose your inhibitions.

---

Because you're hammered. Just try being confident without booze.

---

Alcohol clouds your judgement

alcohol

---

Because you are a shy person. Try to see a psychologist, or someone that can help you to be confident about yourself. Shy people tend to drink alcohol to be more outspoken. But is nice to see nowadays some people who are shy. Be yourself.

Alcohol loosens your inhibitions, dulls your senses, distorts your judgement and basically makes everything, including you, into something they are not. You need to find a way to be yourself no matter what, without alcohol, before something awful happens to you x x x x

CAUSE U GET DRUNK HUNN! im 13 and even I kow that 1!

---

OMG you've got to be kidding me. No offence or anything. I just thought that more people knew this.

When you drink alcohol, you get tipsy-which doesn't mean drunk-it just means that you get a little whilly so to say, and you can get a little different than you would be with your normal self. And when it wears off, you go back to normal.

dutch courage you can actually pretend to be drunk that will do you a big favour you can be fun without the demon drink do try to be how you want to be without becoming an alcoholic

---

Stay drunk !!!!!!!!!!...

---

Because alcohol is a poisonous drug that affects all your mental faculties. Do yourself a favor (and everyone else) quit drinking.

---

Alcohol is a short term chgange to how you feel and how you behave. It has no permanent affect on the person you are.

Forget alcohol and instead...face the person you are and deal with life without hiding behind artificial crutches like alcohol.

Please trust me...I know what i am talking about.alcohol is crap.

---

I was the same as a teenager, and ended up drinking everynight of the week for years. I still drink wine every night. Be careful you do not end the same. We tend to hide ourselves who we are under the confidence of what alcohol does.

---

HAHAHA! same here!

---

Alcohol takes painful feelings away for awhile-can make a person feel great, but when it wears off the old feelings come back. If you use alcohol to give you confidence on a regular basis like I did you could become alcoholic. Please beware. I am a recovering alcoholic-20 years sober

Alchol messes up your brain. It's called being drunk and u aren't yourself. NOT GOOD!

---

this is a trubelsome cycle that gets people in to drink related difficulties. why put a thief in your mouth to steal your brain?. work on your confidence without drink ,by meeting people at venues with no drink . if you want to drink just do it because you like it ,other wise you will have all sorts of reasons to drink ,carnt sleep and all that .

---

Alcohol makes people do all types of things. You go back to being yourself when it wears off because that was just the alcohol talking or coming out of you.

---

Having looked at your previous questions posted here by viewing your profile I can state without a doubt you are asking the wrong people.You need to be asking these questions and expressing these feelings to a councillor.There you will not be judged or ridiculed. You will be listened to and pointed in the right direction.
It would appear to me there is an emorous emptyness in your life at present and you are attempting to fill it with artificial methods be it alcohol or Y.A.
I wish you all the best but remember theres more to life than a mood altering chemical or Yahoo.
Take care

i hate alcoholics.

---

be careful it doent help to losen your knicker elastic as well

---

you are piss*d thats why exactly. Now put the bottle away and go to bed

---

Because alcohol only works for so long so you need to drink more. I always hate that sensation. Especially when my sole reason for getting drunk is to forget about whatever is bothering me. I love being drunk.
