For me, only psychedelics can give me NEW insights. Otherwise i know my faults and why im the way i am. So any more exposure to known facts only depresses me more. It doesn't help. So, taking low dose mescaline (or better: low dose resin) helps and every piece of peace is helpful. After over a decade of medium to intense social anxiety, you feel so trapped, that you are willing to take your chances. That's propably why people drink. Fortunatly, alcohol doesn't really help. But resin does...a couple of grams + one (!) beer and some coffee (100-200mg worth of caffeine) is perfect for me.
