Let me rephrase and also make it clear this is not a Moreno/JV lacrosse thread. When you were younger, were you popular? If so, where did that get you? Did your social skills help you in life and you are doing well? Or could you not handle the real world, and not being adorned by all?, have you peaked, drink too much and are fat and angry now? What’s your story?
For example, I was a huge partier and popular in high school. Never had trouble getting attention from the ladies. Now, many, many years later, I haven’t been sober since I was 15. BUT, I manage and hide it well and hold down a pretty prestigious job making well into 6 figures. So my social skills probably helped. I hate to say it but being high sometimes gave me the confidence to do things I wouldn’t normally do. But I have plenty of dough, do well, and provide for my family. I feel high school shaped all of that but also feel like I’m an extreme outlier in terms of still being able to function on all the substances I use (and am a secret loser because of that part of my life).
