The thing that bothers me the most here is that many of the people I'm usually in contact with (i.e. schoolmates, etc.) seem to make me see myself as a bad person because I don't drink, like, at all. Especially now that my friends and I have turned 18 I've felt really left out because I don't go to parties and bars. I do like beer but I don't like getting drunk or seeing drunk people.
It was the same in middle school. Nearly all of my "friends" drank and made me look stupid because I didn't. I went to high school in a different town and met some nice people who seemingly didn't drink or drank rather little. Now they don't even talk about much else than partying and what happened when they were drunk the last time. Some of my best friends even tell me they'll "have to get me drunk sometime".
Having become bullied by my former friends in middle school due to not going to parties and the likes has really made me a bit paranoid about my social life. I don't want the same shit to happen again but it seems inevitable to me.
