Drunken Man's Words... Smiley17: ... Are A Sober Man's Thoughts.
Anyone out there believe this and/or are "guilty" of it? Just curious as to other people's thoughts.
Some guys in particular can't talk about their feelings while sober, but seem to have no trouble expressing them while drunk.
I am no big drinker and the last time I had a buzz from drinking was well over a year ago, so I'm not as "educated" on this whole topic. I also have no problem at all expressing my feelings sober.
Are any of you guys out there afraid to express your feelings while sober, but feel "free" to express them while drunk, and maybe regret it the next day?
Just curious... ok... and maybe experimenting a little bit... ;)
Curious minds want to know!

Re:Drunken Man's Words... CoryL: I used to be that way, but no longer.
Alcohol hasn't been in my system for six months and I have NO problems expressing my feelings. The divorce pulled out any speedbumps that were there.
I've gotten to the point where I know what I want and am going to express it. If you cannot handle how open I am with things, I don't have time for you. This is part of who I am now and I am finally comfortable with that.

Re:Drunken Man's Words... Smiley17: Good for you, Cory!! It's so much better when you can express your feelings instead of hiding them from the world.
And I agree with you, if someone can't handle the way you feel, you shouldn't waste time on that person.
I'm glad that you're back and that you're doing better.

Re:Drunken Man's Words... Dino: I have no problems expressing my feelings when I am sober. It's more to do with how well I know people.
I do tend to talk a lot when I am drunk but I never regret it. I don't say offensive things when I am drunk. I pretty much just tell everyone I love them. Can't regret that. :)
Re:Drunken Man's Words... Thinkin: I think being drunk you will say things you don’t mean when you’re mad. I don't think they are "Always" what they are really thinkin. I have known allot of drunks as friends not that they just sit around drinking alone, but they go out and drink every night. Some will over due it more then others and I think things get said out of frustration and are meant to cause pain and hurt whoever they happen to be directing it to.
But it could very well be that they are speaking the truth, you know the crying drunk who starts confessing everything under the sun? They are speaking the truth I feel, so I guess you could see it either way. But those drunks can start to babble random crap so you really never know
Two ways:
"Blubbery crying Drunk speaking the truth or babbling"
Or
"Mad angry drunk only trying to hurt that person not speaking the truth"
So I guess I'm no help on that, it's just what I have seen throughout my years of partying and drinking. Myself, I have been told allot that I have no sad emotion and I bottle it all up. I do have trouble talking about feelings and being sad and when I do it upsets me. I know about this issue now and am working on it so it’s all good. Even if I was hammered you won’t get my true feelings out of me. Not if they were ones that will bum me out or make me sad, I am a strong emotion controller, If I start to get down I will redirect it instead of deal with it.
But that’s just me,
