Hope in a Bottle

“I drink to make other people interesting.”
One of the things The Chemical Buddha didn’t like about going to bars was all the lame people there. People who complained about their jobs. Their relationships. Their lives. If you'd asked TCB why he drank, he would say it was to have fun, not to be bummed out. However, he found drinking helped make these people more tolerable (and more interesting). He also found drinking made them a lot more attractive and oftentimes elevated his own opinion of himself. But those were just happy byproducts of his being really drunk. TCB found this theory applied outside of bars too. Work was more tolerable; the messiness of his house was easier to deal with. Life was better when he had his glow on.
How do you deal with people and situations you don’t like?
How do you think people who don’t like you, deal with you?
