>>100389732I'm really invested in the beers and spirits and cocktail making, so I spend a good deal of spare time on that. It was a hobby long before it became my job.
I like to hike a lot as well. If I get the chance I like to go out to remote areas to explore old abandoned mining towns with some of my friends who are avid local history buffs, it's good fun.
Social life has improved drastically. Despite having shocking anxiety about certain aspects of human interaction, the constant friendly interactions with customers has definitely helped build my social nature. Hang out with others in the industry or just regulars I've met at the bars I frequent.
Women are still something that amp my anxiety to 10, but only in real proper relationship scenarios now. Casual interactions are no problem, and even the occasional intimate encounters have been fine, if a bit nerve-wracking. Super easy to talk to them now though.
