Deep Neuroticism

[eTorro]

Hello.

I was drinking alcohol with a friend, and I still couldn't be relaxed.

I was neurotic, and I wasn't able to make eye contact properly.

Despite drinking alcohol, I still was self-conscious. 

Not even alcohol can put me at ease.

Damn!

Is there any solution to my self-consciousness problem?

yes, a solution. have courage and step out of your comfort zone constantly. do therapy, expose yourself to others whenever you have the chance, tell your secrets, express what makes you ashamed, practice the truth. At first it will be difficult since shame is a primordial emotion, very real. an atavistic feeling necessary for life in society, but you cannot let it dominate you. feel the shame, and act in spite of it. With time it will be very easy. what before seemed like a monster, will seem like a kitten
