For context:
Hear me gripe:

Recently I joined a discord server, where we have once a week get togethers and chat live through webcam. A good 20-30 people are usually on, always engaging in friendly banter; there's no hostility and everybody is inclusive. You see...I worked really hard to present myself as this friendly quiet guy, despite my natural inclination to be sort of abrasive and loud. Well a few days ago, I happened to drink too much and I got really drunk. The douche-bag in me came out in full force, and I may have said some heated things that were offensive. I'm not sure of the things I said, but I remember the reactions were extremely unpleasant and people were surprised. Now I'm thinking, there's no way I can go back. I just ruined the only safe space that I had. Why did I do this? WHYYYY???

Can anybody here relate? I suddenly feel so empty again.

Gimmick or no gimmick I used to do the same shit all the time (both online and off). I got a year of therapy and have been sober for 1 year, 7 months.

But don't you think there's a point of no return, where an apology won't cut it? They were a group of guys and gals who more on the prude side.

Care to share a story of some of the ridiculous things you did to offend people while intoxicated? I guess I'm looking for some kind of solace.

Own it and apologize. If theyre half decent friends theyll forgive and this will even be a growth moment in the relationship.

i think it doesnt hurt to try.

i know how i am when im drunk, but id never say something so offensive that it would put me instantly in the cutoff completely zone.

usually takes something massively bigoted to do that.

I don't think I said anything bigoted, but I tried to dominate almost every conversation by interrupting speakers. Now that I'm looking back, that was an incredibly rude thing to do.

If your natural inclination is to be an asshole, you have some work to do on yourself. Putting a mask on in front of your friends isnt a long-term answer.

As for this particular case, you should be able to apologize and everyone move on. If this becomes regular or even every-once-in-a-while behavior, then yeah, these people arent going to always forgive you and probably wont want to be your friend.

The alcohol definitely didnt help, but I think the root issue here is he admits his natural instinct is to be a dick. I think that is the bigger issue.

It was mostly the opposite for me. I lied WAY more when I was drunk, not just in frequency but in size. There were times I saw video footage of me black-out wasted and it was like watching someone else, not just because I didn't remember anything but because everything I said was Grade A bullshit. There was one night I was going on and on about my rap prodigy niece who was gaining traction on youtube. I didn't even have a niece at the time.

There are also tons of secrets, about myself and others, that I hated to keep but am confident I haven't divulged because there would have been massive consequences if certain people ever found out. They most certainly would have were I to speak drunken truths as much as I spoke drunken lies <_<

Yeah, I had to delete FB because I kept drunk posting craziness. Some of it was funny, then I'd flip around and say awful shit. I mean it was all true but often caused some sort of thing.

It'd be cool if your name was Mike. Then you might be a dude I know who did this quite frequently.
