Could this be an after effect of some sort?

I'm not an experienced tripper (only shroomed twice, last time was last week.), and now after shrooming I feel distant, cold, and almost mean to everybody else.
Its irritating me to notice this, cause before I did them I was a nice person.
Has anyone here ever gone through this, and if so how long does it last for?
I'm hoping its not permanent.

dude, thats terrible. Shrooms arent the drugs that i enjoy hearing negative shit about and thats some serious problems. If i were to give you a diagnosis of some sort, i would say that the shrooms havent necessarily made you a mean person, but just may have gotten you to realize that you are mean and always have been. Shrooms typically shouldnt alter someones mood like that unless the experience was incredibly negative or positive. Approach solving this mystery by analyzing your life prior to the trip(s) versus life after the trip(s). Shrooms are psychedelic substances and will increase subconscious brain activity. You could very well be learning how to become aware of things. Subconscious brain activity, frequently triggered by psychedelic use, allows you to discover a new vantage on your life. By looking through your "hippie" mind, or your subconscious mind, you are able to become aware of flaws in your conscious thinking.
You may have experienced some ego detachment and its allowing you to analyze your past lifestyle. Take these issues and solve them personally and you will have gotten enlightenment from your trip that helps to carve you into the person you TRULY feel u should be.

Its true they didn't actually make you mean they either made you realize that or...
This is what happened to me, i feel like i am mean to everyone, but in reality everyone says i am like the nicest person ever and then i came to realize i am actually nice. And i always have these thoughts that really wants me to withdraw from a social life. But i am kinda ignoring it and i am doing fine.
Your basically having a type of perception shift, so far my is permanent, but i kinda grew to live with it, even enjoy it.

If you're up to it, you could try to have another session with the mushrooms. It seems something came up from your subconsciousness in the last session that was not resolved successfully and you're now projecting it and playing it out. If you do this try to keep your session internalized (lying down, eyes closed during the entire time) and have a sitter nearby.
You could also find a Holotropic Breathwork practioner or a transpersonal therapist who could help you resolve this issue in a few sessions.

Well I mean I'm happy, but I just feel like I'm acting mean to everyone else.
I'm not saying mushrooms are 'bad' and shit, but before the trips, I was a nice person. And after these trips, I feel like I'm being mean to everyone, and I almost feel detached, but not in a bad way.
And about being mean to people, Its not just in my head, my friends n shit have been asking me if somethings wrong, cause Iv'e been acting like an asshole, but I can't help it.
I think I'm starting to regret getting into psychedelics.

hmmmm, you regret visualising this perception about yourself?
I think what you are going thru is the painfull process of realising that you can become a better person...
It has happened to me in the past, and i think its a all-time classic in the psychedelic experience in general... You see yourself and surrounding from so many different points of view when you trip, that you can't hide from the realization that you can be many times better than what you really are!
Feeling you are an asshole, usually means that you just discovered you could be something else....
Real assholes don't think or say they 're assholes, real assholes just fart their lives away.

I wouldn't rule out that the mushrooms themselves are inducing some sort of temporary mood disorder.. or bringing it out. I'm pretty emotionally raw after a trip myself.
It shouldn't be permanent.. It might go one for a week or two. Eat healthy, work out, and maybe do some reading/drawing. These activities will help stabilize your mood and pull you back in the moment.
I just wouldn't do them anymore if its giving you a hard time. What you can learn on mushrooms, you can damn well learn other ways. On any account, get better and good luck.

i think you mean the shrooms have made you not be caught up in caring about things which dont matter and being sorry like you would have in the past for things that dont matter, but society rather creates in the minds of guilty people. Are you actully mean to other people, or are you just detached from your former illusions of what reality was supposed to be. I think why you feel bad is your hanging on to those societal programmings....
...now you say youre mean after psychadelics.. i dont know do you love yourself do your friends actully care about you... well.. good luck

its probably wise not to dose on any more psycho-hallucinogenic drugs until you come to terms with this problem.
mushrooms are chemicals, these chemicals have interacted with parts of your brain that are receptive to them, as a result you're going through some after effects, which may or may not dissipate. This really depends on your coping abilities.
Coping abilities (meditation, positive self talk, self reinforcement) can have an equally profound effect on the brain as psychedelics, and create changes in the brains neurochemisty (how you think permanently).
It is important then for you to use positive coping strategies to try and reinterpret these negative feelings you're having; give them beneficial meaning. And do it soon, like any trauma (that one feels they have experienced - even the emotions after a trip), the sooner you work on resolving this conflict, the better chance you have of a good recovery, changing your neurobiological wiring (in this regard) and minimizing long term damage, if not completely reversing.
Self reflect man. Think deep, with your eyes closed, and think positive.

Substances that alter the mind such as LSD and mushrooms come with a toll. It opens you up to a new level of awareness of yourself and those around you. I notice that I feel strange and like to alienate myself from people when I'm coming off of those substances and it makes me very introverted for a little while. Don't worry, it'll blow over, just use this new awareness for good

"The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend." - Aldous Huxley

It feels like its going away, and I'm almost back to normal.
I think part of this will never go away, and I'm learning to accept that.
I'm still seeing everything from a whole different perspective, more of a neutral position, I'm starting to like it.
Thanks for the help everrrybody
