    I’m unremarkable AND I STILL over share. No surprises left.

    I don’t drink alcohol. Never acquired the taste for it and I don’t like the feeling of being drunk. Always happy to be a DD before uber 😏

    Same here.

    When folks learn that I don’t drink, they typically think one of two things; either that I have had a drinking problem or that I’m a bible thumper..... I’m neither.

    People who don’t drink sometimes make me nervous. Like, I expect that they’re judging me. Are you judging me?

    You nailed it, we judge like crazy 😜

    I can see how that makes you nervous though. Everyone is but one or two people. Like, what you hiding? Haha.

    Most of the time I couldn’t care less that you’re drinking alcohol and/or drunk etc. Entirely your choice. I just choose not to drink alcohol 99% of the time.

    The sheer depth and breadth of trivia I have locked in my head.

    Would you consider yourself more of a "tsunami of knowledge", an "endless abyss of intellect" or perhaps a "plethora of proven points"?

    Most common reaction is "Okay, WHY and HOW do you know that??!??!!"

    I have a single shot of vodka once a year, and thats the only alcohol I drink. I've tried a few different drinks, and they all tasted horrible.

    Kaluah, Beer, Wine (wine so sweet it was supposedly teeth rottingly sweet), even whiskey. They've all tasted terrible.

    i really hope there is some complex anniversary ritual associated with the once a year sobriety break

    Erm...sure?

    Me neither. Plus I'm the product of two alcoholic parents so I always figured I was screwed genetically and it was probably something best avoided.

    I’m usually the only one not drinking when I’m with friends. I can tell it serves as a kind of buzzkill so I usually leave early. I’m not doing the judging, i assume I’m the one being judged 😅

    No, i think I’d be good with it as long as I didn’t feel like I was annoying you with my silliness.

    It surprises some people that I tend to get along really well with older kids and teenagers (let's say age 9 or 10+) because I'm not very comfortable around babies, toddlers, or younger kids.

    I chose not to have kids and I'm just kind of indifferent about the younger ones because I haven't been around them much and don't really know how to "play" with them (had the same problem even when I was a little kid myself). But give me a 12 year old who wants to draw and talk about their favorite band, hobby, etc...I'm there. A lot of my friends actually like this a lot because some of the "kid people" (even some grandparents!) in their lives run off as the kids get older.

    Your silliness is why I want to go out with you in the first place! But when I drink, I just crawl under the table and fall asleep. So make mine a Shirley Temple, please.
