How do I speak on discord with friends while high? I go mute. (lemmy.one)

Every weekend I play games with my wife and a handful of friends on Saturday night. Same group of 5 of us every time and a handful of others occasionally.

I freeze up though. I can feel my voice reverberating through my head and just cannot speak. This actually happens anytime I'm high, but I mostly notice on discord since I'm not a social smoker.

How do I not be a mute?

Oh, I enjoy smoking. I like the vibe when I'm playing games and listening to everyone. It's like a podcast I can interact with. I just don't know how to make myself talk more.

I just feel like I get high (heh) anxiety when I'm hearing everyone and not putting in my input. I think a big thing is that I think I'm going to say something stupid

Practice makes... you better slowly. You have to do the thing, then you get the confidence. You're probably going to get more laughs by saying something stupid, embrace the stoniness, become Mitch Hedberg.

Don't say shit for a whole hour, then quietly ask if anyone has snacks.
