I DESPERATLY wanted to be like the other kids, so pressure wasn't even a factor.
You can't be peer pressured if you don't have any friends temple tap
Adults: people would try to pressure you into drugs.
Adults with drugs after being rejected: "I got you! no problem"
Adults with alcohol after being rejected: "what do you mean you don't like alcohol?? Just try it! You're going to like it!!"
i had to quit a whole friend group, because i quit drinking when i switchted to ritalin,
after a while they were saying that ritalin changed my personality to the worse kind. I realized they didnt like it when I said "no" and wouldnt budge. Or when i spoke my mind, or when I just left a situation when i had enough. or when i didnt want to go to bars anymore, or sitting aroung and listening to their drunk talk.
before ritalin, i was drunk almost everytime we hung out together.
i think the last time i drank a glas of whine was last chrismas; and before that, i has one year without alcohol.
i drank like 10 liters of beer each week for more then ten years. sometimes less.
as someone who just doesn't like the taste of alcohol, being the only sober guy in a friend group where everyone's drunk sucks so much
Does it suck enough to learn how to mix good tasting cocktails?
hell nah I'm just gonna sip on some water and patiently wait for the moment where I'm suddenly treated as their savior for still being able to drive
the screaming matches were pretty fun, i loved them. but what i hated is the logic break down, the repeating of things, and the fact that i cant put a word in sometimes, i say half a sentence and get judged immediatly, without the other side letting me explain what i have in mind. and the loud music was so draining, i could only take it one hour or so.
Resisting peer pressure is easy if your peers never try to pressure you. Or hang out with you. Or talk to you.
