Understanding my own personality
Generally I am very shy in nature and an Introvert person. I get so nervous to talk with a group of people or to talk in virtual meetings with a group of people. I lack confidence. Recently i noticed or heard from others that I was a totally different person when i was drunk at an office party. I was talking so confidently with everyone and mingling with everyone and having conversation with other teammates as well. Which was very confusing and a surprise for me. Because I am completely opposite while i am sober.. I find it very difficult to understand myself i panic if i see crowds and talk in meetings. How do I become that confident person when i am drunk i want to be that person in real situations. I feel like I have a split personality. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you!

It's common for introverts to feel anxious in social situations, and over time, this avoidance can intensify that response. Alcohol can lower inhibitions, making it easier to overcome these fears temporarily. However, relying on alcohol is not a sustainable solution.
Therapy can be incredibly helpful in overcoming these challenges. A therapist can teach you strategies to improve your confidence and social skills, allowing you to enjoy a fulfilling social life while also honoring your introverted nature. It's about finding a balance that works for you, embracing your strengths, and gradually expanding your comfort zone. Mind Sculpt, my company, offers online therapy sessions that may provide valuable support in navigating these concerns.
