Losing your inhibitions - (Y/N)

When you're around 18/19 and you get some drink down your neck or a little ego massaging, the first thing that happens is the loosening of inhibitions - the freeing up your tongue and your mind control.  But is this a good thing or a bad thing?

When you're experiencing it, it makes you feel thrilled that you're being risky, that you're doing stuff that you'd never do if you were fully in control.  In my time I have done some outlandish stuff that I would never dream of doing nowadays including walking into dangerous situations, talking to complete strangers and doing all the things your mother warned you never to do.  But I walked into and out of them situations feeling a rush and feeling like it was the best time of my life.  I was happy.  Yet I used to live for those times and wander around looking for them, so much so that I had this loss of inhibitions minus alcohol intake.

Fast forward a couple of years and I honest to god wonder who I was back then.  I cringe thinking about what I've done and have regrets in some cases knowing that people might actually think I'm a headcase.  This is all despite my one key philosophy-never regret.  It seemed like I was on a permanent rush of adrenaline, detrimental to my own nature.  But then I reflect on this and actually yearn for the days I was carefree.  Now all I seem to do is job search and while my time away in front of a computer or the television.

So whether it was just a burst of hormones or I was just in a better place back then, I would love to go back to the times where I could approach strangers and just talk to them as if I'd known them all my life; or gyrate against some stranger in a club; to joke and flirt without thinking of consequences instead of feeling an overwhelming sense of guilt at every little thing I do that's a little bit 'out there'.  I miss teenagehood...I want to bring it back!!  Losing your inhibitions is definitely a good thing!
