Due to my laptop breaking down for the third time and me only being able to access here on my phone my comments are rather limited so I apologise for not answer all posts right now. But in regards to the last post, telling people that I get upset by certain things doesnt tend to work for me. I get triggered by the smell of alcohol, and every other aspect of it. Being in my early 20s, most of my friends are a similar age and therefore enjoy alcohol at almost every occasion. If I tell people that I cant be around alcohol, and Ive tried a number of different ways to explain it, they just do not get it. Even if I say something as simple as I dont enjoy alcohol, the judgement comes out. People really tend to take it very personally. All I can do is avoid the situation. But as alcohol is everywhere, how can I avoid it? By dealing with it. But how can I deal with it if I get no support from friends and family? Ive never understood how people dont seem to think 'Well obviously there is some sort of reason for this'.
