We often say that a person’s character is revealed by their behavior when they’re drunk.
Some people fall asleep when they’re drunk, some ramble on, and some get sad and depressed. But no matter how a person acts when they’re drunk, they show their truest selves.
That’s why we can tell a person’s character when they’re drunk.
We’ve all seen this happen. It’s hard to get someone to spill their secrets when they’re sober. So, we often use alcohol to get to the bottom of things.
When people are drunk, they don’t have control over their actions. They speak without thinking, blurting out whatever’s on their minds.
That’s why we often say that a person reveals their true heart when they’re drunk. It’s called “speaking the truth after drinking.”
In life, we all want to know what someone is really thinking, how they truly feel about us. But people don’t always show their real selves in everyday life. For different reasons, they might hide their thoughts and keep their secrets.
As the saying goes, “When a person is about to die, they speak kindly, and when they’re drunk, their true nature is revealed.”
If you want a man to tell you the truth, the best time is when he’s drunk.
Have you ever heard these “truths” that a man will only tell when he’s drunk?
Talking About the Pressures of Life
A person’s deepest thoughts are in their eyes, in their drafts, in their dreams, and in their drinks. They just don’t come out in conversations with others.
Generally, men are more concerned about their image. No matter what happens, they’ll bear the burden themselves. No matter how hard or tiring it is, they won’t easily confide in others. First, men think family matters shouldn’t be discussed outside the family, and talking about them will only make people laugh. Second, they don’t want people to think they’re weak.
But what man doesn’t have some pain in his heart? Facing setbacks at work and problems in life, men don’t talk about it, because they’re still holding on.
But once a man gets drunk, all the pressure and hardship comes rushing out like a flood. The drunker he gets, the stronger this feeling becomes. At a certain point, he’ll start talking about the pressures of life and how much it’s hurting him. These are the truths he’ll reveal.
Showing Their Most Vulnerable Side
A man’s behavior when he’s drunk reveals his inner self, his character, his personality, and his true nature.
We all have things we like and things we hate. We all have our most vulnerable side.
But in life, we show our best side to others. And we can control how we act when we’re sober.
But when a man gets drunk, he shows his true colors. No matter how brave or mature and stable he normally is, he’ll reveal his most vulnerable side when he’s drunk.
He’ll tell you his secrets, his fears, and what he’s weak about.
Expressing Their True Feelings
The truths a man tells when he’s drunk are basically him using the courage of alcohol to say what he can’t usually say. It’s what’s in his subconscious, in his heart.
Especially when it comes to his feelings.
In everyday life, men don’t easily express their true feelings, whether it’s love, family, or friendship.
For men, they actually value their feelings a lot, but they won’t easily express them in front of others. Maybe they lack the courage, maybe they’re afraid of being too forward, or maybe it’s just because they’re men, and they shouldn’t be as hesitant as women.
But when they’re drunk, men become very emotional and can’t control themselves. They want to use this opportunity to express their inner feelings.
Liu Qing once said, “Everyone has a few emotional pillars in their spirit. The emotional pillars for their parents, their faith, their ideals, their friends, and their love. If any of these pillars break, it hurts.”
We all hope that our lives are free from regrets, pain, and disappointment, and that we’re always happy and enjoying life.
But these are just beautiful fantasies. Reality is still cruel. Everyone has to experience all the joys and sorrows of life.
The pressures of life, vulnerability, and uncontrollable emotions are things men have to bear. They have to keep their secrets close.
But when they get drunk, men lose their reason and can’t suppress their feelings. Naturally, they’ll speak these truths.
Actually, the truths they speak after drinking are things they’ve silently repeated to themselves a thousand times when they’re sober. They just don’t have the opportunity or courage to speak them.
When men tell these truths while drunk, they might regret it when they’re sober. Or they might feel relieved. But no matter what, don’t make fun of a man who’s speaking his heart out after drinking.
