Alcohol reduces inhibition but the real trick to lower your social inhibition is just practice.
It's not really complex, it's like anything else you'd study - mindful, focused practice; pay attention to details; iterate.
- physicles 1y agoCould you give some specifics? For example, does this look like repeatedly trying things that make you a bit uncomfortable, and CBTing when you have those uncomfortable feelings? Is it helpful to do this with people you already feel safe around?
- erxam 1y agoSure, it's simple, but it's extremely psychologically taxing. No surprise people rely so much on alcohol. I personally find alcohol to be vastly overrated for removing inhibitions. A few drinks and I'm still as tightly wound as ever. A lot of drinks and I end up having all sorts of unpleasant bodily effects instead.
- rossant 1y agoSame. Maybe it just doesn't work on those with really deep introversion.
