What sort of personality altering drugs? For what reason do you wish to take them?

I have noticed that people dislike me. I want to change my personality. I want friends.
If I shut up people think I'm Snooty. When I speak my mind I'm snarkey.
I want to change my personality. I want to be socially acceptable.

Then you just have to basically act more appropriate around people! A head doctor will take a look at your case and laugh. Just be more friendly, hold back the remarks, be a normal person
. It's not impossible.

Find other "Snooty" and/or "snarkey" friends. Then you will be normal (whatever normal is)

I have tried. It does not work. I need to be able to relax. drinking helps. But to keep the balance is too difficult. And I do not need to be a alcholic too. Stinky personality is enough thank you.
Me trying to force to be makes me seem forced and people gets awkward with me. Normal for me is like I am. But people does not like it. So I want to change.

If you want to change, then do so... drugs will only help for a short while, and will be like covering up a cut with sand and thinking it's not there. You just have to really try fix yourself here! Do to the head doctor and they'll help you. Also, maybe you're looking for friends in the wrong places? I know that a lot of people loath my jokes, but I still have friends (I think
)

I'm going to make an uneducated guess...
There's nothing wrong with your personality, but you don't get to express it due to stress, emotional trauma or other issues, whether you realize them or not. You can possibly even have subconscious reactions in your brain causing you to react the way you do, e.g. Anxiety disorder.
Psychiatrists are expensive, but if you have a psych disorder, you'll never regret seeing one, even if you don't get drug treatment.
Good luck!

Mila. Drugs can only do so much to alter you. Are you sure your not judging yourself differently than others actually view you? You are yourself and thats that Mila.People should like you for who you are (yeah corny etc). If your feeling depressed go to a counselor and explain your situation.

A very true and important point. Pills won't change who you are, it'll just allow you to be yourself more by allowing you to control your worries and anxieties more. In the end, if you want to change yourself, no pills are going to change you, only you can change yourself.

Mila do you have something like social phobia or what?
The only drugs that can alter your personality are illegal drugs, That cannot be sustained for a long period. You need to change the way you perceive the world. Only someone that costs 450-600 bucks a session can help. Think positive and take positives out of every situation
.
Although you can check out google as well, they have plenty life coaching video's.

If it's an anxiety disorder various anti-depressants can make a big difference.
Taken in a group it can be very beneficial to overcoming interpersonal obstacles. Definitely not something to be taken too regularly though.
What AvatarS said.
However, if you find the secret to idle chit-chat - let me know as well. I suck at mingling with strangers.
(Although maybe don't tell them about Mary Lou on the first night.

This is not even remotely true.
Mila , its not you alone.
I cannot chit chat , I am one of those people that have a conversation with a point and get to it within the next millenium .
I think maybe you just dont have like minded people to mingle with.
Maybe create a group in MBB called "I dont chit chat , get to the point! " , might find a couple of people like myself joining.
Then meet those people and their friends (as they also bound to have like-minded friends )
Doesnt need to be a sustained "relationship" with illegal drugs.
I know a friend that took 10 LSD portions in one night , he was never the same again.
Whether he changed for the better or worse , is up for discussion though hehehe

The only drug I know of that changes personalities, is alcohol, and not all individuals are prone to what I like to call schizo drinking. That's people who have a dramatic personality change after drinking: with females it's often a change towards promiscuity (morals are only skin deep with these after all, and nothing beats the high of an adoring one stand) and with males it's a change towards aggression. (the real man emerges - angry, aggro, insecure, not in control of self)
Some psycho drugs (anti - depressants) can inhibit your personality, make you less excitable, less energetic, actually less of everything, but of course not all individuals have the same reaction.
Personality changes can be made by changing attitudes, you still remain who you are, but you change your attitude to how you feel about things.
eg: you're not a small talker and you don't know how to handle small talk
attitude change: cool I'm not a small talker, but I'm darn good at listening, and at reflecting.
reflecting can be a major help, you simply reflect the other person back to themselves:
Smalltalker: My mom's friend came to visit, shame her husband left her for another man.
You say: Your moms friend must be devastated. (all you did was reflect - perfect solution to small talk)
Smalltalker: Did you watch 7de laan last night ?
You say: Not really, tell me all about it (then you go into auto listening mode, whilst keeping your mind free to wonder about that interesting article you read about alternative realities)
Smalltalker: Giovannis Bistro make the best damn coffee in Greenpoint, nice bunch of people there too, been going there for years.
You say: Never been there, but I once had an outstanding coffee at 11 am in the middle of the Karoo on my way to a UFO sighting. and keep a straight face
I find this thread quite funny, smalltalk might not be for everyone, but there are ways of dealing with it.
