SSRI's made me able to talk nonsense without any effort with practically everyone, while otherwise I'm practically mute if there is no useful things to say. I don't think that was a good solution tough. My SSNRI helped me, too. Made me less nervous to give smart-ass responses - and to not get upset...

You're not being unreasonable, you've been there before and not been carded and you were with your parents!! ! Some people are just too proud to back off once they have asked for ID. THEY ARE NOT LEGALLY ALLOWED TO BACK OFF. At all. Ever. The few places that might do it are risking their license ev...

Small talk is an art. But it is one you can learn . Next time you are with a group of people who are talking about meaningless stuff, take note of the sorts of things they are saying. Store that up for future use. So the next time someone gets chatty with you, you can respond correctly. Here's the k...

Be careful you're not being paranoid. I usually read animosity into places where it isn't. Talk to the person in a friendly manner as though the 'event' never happened, and see how they react - if they get confused or angry, then you have offended them, and you can bring it up right away, apologize ...

It doesn't matter that they didn't card your parents. Your parents obviously look old enough. They could have carded your parents, and your parents would have been required to provide their ID by law, and yes, even though it's stupid and even though they look old enough, the restaurant is still not ...

1. When someone says "how are you?" They don't really want to know. Just say "fine" or "I'm good". (I don't always do this, I usually answer honestly because I find it hilarious) 2. When someone is crying, they expect you to say "Are you okay?" - not nothing. 3. Using a higher pitched voice when exp...

As someone who must ask for ID about 80 times a day, your demands were highly unreasonable. Not only is it not the waiter's fault, or the owners fault for requiring ID. It is the GOVERNMENT'S fault. Having someone say "my friend/daughter/girlfriend is overage" is not ID. Screaming and yelling is not...
