Hello most people my age like drinking and partying I hate this not because of my religion but i hate alcohol its effects thas why I never druk in my life as drunk people are so hard to talk to I need control over my boy 24/7.Many people say I am like an old women as I don't go out I don't socialise I prefer to read or watch tv rather then do these things. Does anyone who is young feel like that is well I hate dressing up I prefer to wear sweat pants comfy loose clothing or pyjamas rather then go out. I hate even a bit of alcohol not even a drop of alcohol is acceptable in my house and no loud music only classic musci like Motzart or Chopin or choir music


I am the same. Why put yourself in an early grave drinking and being on drugs? The people who do this to themselves are self harming and also put their parents in an early grave with the stress. Good for you listening to proper music also. :wink:

Thank you I am also angree that small talk don't matter a patient wants to know whether their disease is curable whether they need any medicine and whether they are ok not oh the weather is nice today you should not waste time focus what is important here.


I quote this particular example but I could easily have chosen any of your other posts.

Your perception of the medical profession is deluded. If you seriously want to be a doctor you need to get some experience of the reality of medical practice. Human interaction with patients is the bread and butter of medicine. Dictating to them your esteemed views is not.

The way university admissions for medicine work in the UK are specifically geared towards finding people who understand this.

You could spend your entire life researching and not discover anything. Those that make breakthroughs are the exceptions, not the norm, which is why they receive high honours and earn a lot of respect in their respective fields. Then again, those that have made significant breakthroughs, those that had a massive impact on the world, be it scientific, artistic or culturalistic often had vices they needed as a coping mechanism, or a way to express themselves fully. No offence but I think some people truly do live in a dream world. The Tesla's, the Eistein's, the da Vinci's, the Curie's, the Bohr's, the Darwin's and the Newton's are the exceptions, not the norm. The vast majority of researchers or scientists aren't remembered at all.

Every scientist plays a part. Those big eureka moments cannot occur without the small ones. Read some real research papers and then you'll understand how many different people are quoted. But you are right they are not remembered, but so what. It is not about becoming famous but bettering humanity and doing your bit.

I like your thinking Lizzie I try to be a good child and not stress my parents as I find it stressful myself when a relitive goes for a drink with friends which makes me worried when they do not answer also drinking is not a correct way to relieve stress and drinking your sadness either. You can be social still during the day go together to an art gallery for lunch or library which is much better for you and the sleeping schedule.
I'm teetotal & never smoked, I guess I wouldn't mind partying but I don't exactly like being around drunk people...

I do try to but many people I know do not care about science culture or debates they care about gossiping and I am a caring person I try to always persuade people to do better and I think patients care at the end of your knowledge of medicine not your knowledge of the latest gossip or whatever. They care about your understanding of medicine and your kindness and that you listen to their concerns
I understand this totally, I can't stand smoking as it is just ruining your body. As for partying, it's a bit rubbish when you can't drink, even for me one or two glasses of vodka and coke can bring on my migraines, and I suffer with them really bad, so I am not able to drink... It kinda means partying is not an option for me, I have been drunk on multiple occasions, and when the migraine doesn't come on I still don't like it... To me it's not worth it.

Very true if basic science was never invented by anyone who may have no credit for it then the big remembered scientists would not be able to be created because if there would be no foundation or little maybe not too important things discovered then you can't discover the big things. Its about doing your part you are right if I may not find even small things I will be satisfied on my death bed knowing I curied people or helpt relieve their pain its the little things that matter.

I never drunk myself but sometimes I look after people with hangovers and I see their pain and regret but then they still do it again it does not seem worth most of them sometimes omit or have migranes or sleep all day.

But if you never socialise with people you'll never make a good doctor. You'll never have the ability to make small talk that you need for the bedside manner.

Socialising is much broader than going to parties and getting drunk. And anyway, it seems unlikely that it is from partying that doctors develop the ability to talk to their patients well.

The people who are remembered often take all of the credit. I'd rather live a modest and pretty basic life, enjoy it with the people around me and then look back knowing I did everything I wanted to do whilst having fun. I'm not going to work myself into a grave only to then have a bucketlist of things to do at 60 that I never got to do throughout life because I was too wrapped up trying to earn loads of money.


Its not money I want the most its the satissfaction of curing people and getting a degree and looking after my parents and reading books. I want to be a doctor because its a job I see myself doing not the money if I enjoyed being a cleaner I would do it but I don't I enjoy science and learning medicine related things. I try to be modest but its sometimes hard everything I want is to go to uni a good one study medicine then study gastroenterology and provide things for my parents hopefully buy a house and try to dedicate my life into caring for others.

Very true most people don't remember much from parties and the music is probably loud i assume so its not much socialising its dancing and drinking (getting dehydrated)

And I'm not saying you can't, I'm just saying that people do and ignoring that is moronic on your part.

Clearly, though, you don't care.
Other posters are right, you have adopted a holier than thou attitude to which you have absolutely no right or reason. You are a snob, pure and simple. You have no concept of the value of being sociable, or of self restraint. You are quite as bad as those people who push religion.


So I am a snob by trying to persuade people to make good choices and not regret thigns as many people do mistakes while under the influence of alcohol for example they can end up in a&e, commit crime, by acident have a night stand an end up with a child,you can get very ill, you can get addicted. You have to be cruel to be kind It is not being unsociable you can still socialise in the day time without alcohol for example go to art galleries,library,classical music concert, meet for coffee or lunch. There is nothing wrong with warning people and try and help them do the right thing.

Im sorry, but it seems you are missing something. It is not for money (most scientists could have gotten better paying jobs easily), binge drinking is sending people to the grave, scientists have more control over their lives as people and nations want highly educated people, doing things no one has ever done before is fun, making a positive difference to humanity is rewarding, and you know what many people enjoy doing things you don't so don't assume scientists are unhappy.

But it's also more than refusing to join in with your peers. Being sociable - having a life outside books and work - is just as valuable as your life inside work, and more important to your mental well being. You'd expect someone wanting to be a doctor to know that...

How would you know, you've never done either.

Well I asked people who do, this is their feed back and my observation from tv is well. I expect someone want to be a doctor to know things about medicine and develop their understanding of sciece and wants to use their knowledge from that to help others.I also feel much safer hiding ym face behind books as many people have disappointed me through my life by being unloyal,unfaithful and unkind and rejected me for being different and interested in science and things most people don't care about.

You clearly didn't ask people properly, or listen to their answers, because you seem to think that there's no inbetween, that it's either sober or drunk.

You're wrong, it isn't a binary thing.

From what you've shown here, people aren't rejecting you because of what you like, but for the way you dislike and judge those who like different things to you.

Socialising is broader than drinking and partying. Yesterday I was at a party with some civ engineers, who are a few years older than me, and we were talking about the strangeness of japan, how world culture is developing, debating whether Bush is smart that sort of rubbish. Tomorrow I am going to a demonstration protesting against and bringing attention to the brutal murder of Farkhunda Naderi. Life is bigger than getting drunk and partying that many people spend huge amounts of their life doing. If you know who you are you will find peers who you find it enjoyable to talk to and you don't have to change for.
That being said I better stop wasting my time on TSR
