Tripping Alone
    #8138830 - 03/12/08 08:25 PM (16 years, 19 days ago)

A theme on these forums I've noticed is that people really like tripping alone.  When giving advice people always tell noobs to trip alone.

Am I the only one that HATES tripping alone?  I get SO fucking lonely and lost in my head, every time I've done it I would have given anything for a friend to talk too.  I really need another person there to keep me in balance, and to anchor me to reality.  When I'm alone there's no context, I am just alone in my world of insanity.

Maybe the reason is that for me, the perfect trip is spent chilling out and talking 90% of the duration.  I just never get tired of it.  I don't ever really look for visuals or relish how tripped out I am, so maybe that explains why I don't like tripping alone :shrug:  If tripping gave no visuals at all I would still love it just as much, so the prospect of sitting alone in a room staring at shit just doesn't do it for me.

Any thoughts?

I like tripping alone because I like taking high doses. Conversations don't go to well when you trip as hard as I like to.

Same here. 

Tripping alone is GREAT for getting real inner work done.  When I trip with others, I don't feel I can "access" those very deep inner realms as throughly. 

My preferred way to trip is to take a solid dose, trip balls for hours, and then as I am coming down, go seek out some friends.  :smile: 

I do love tripping with my friends too though, don't get me wrong.  I just LOVE tripping alone because I can get so much more done when it's just me, myself and I.

Absolutely.  Sometimes I want to commune and other times Iw ant to take high doses and really work on myself, as a human being, and just Be, Alone.  And then seeking out company on the come down is so much fun because there's so much to tell and I'm almost overwhelmed by myself and need distraction. As far as doing that "work" on myself that I love to do on psychedelics, that inner processing and reflection...high doses alone are the way to go.

I agree with pretty much everything else in this thread... I love tripping alone and with people it's just a different story... always has the same ending though!

I like tripping alone because you can do what you want to do, and not have your annoying friends fucking up your trip.

See even on high doses I like being with my friends. What usually happens is we retreat to our own little worlds and every 45 minutes or something one of us will just mutter a phrase. It's really epic. And if we DO manage to actually converse, it's sure to be something important.

I've never actually tripped and learned something completely new about myself, in that sense, so that could be another reason I'm averse to solo tripping. My knowledge gained from my experiences comes from reflecting and interpreting on my experiences, and I can gain that with mah buds as much as anybody else.

But when it comes down to it I think the reason I hate tripping alone is I get spooked too easily. My last solo trip was 5 grams. It was going GREAT at first, listening to pink floyd as my room melted around me in the light of my blue television screen. I'm not sure what happened, but 3 hours later I was in the fetal position under my covers as my sanity crumbled around me. To be fair I wasn't prepared for a dose that big at the time (my previous highest had been 1/8th).

Yeah that's exactly what I'm talking about. Actually I've never tripped alone and then went to go find friends, its always been solo start to finish. Usually finishing in a 4 or 5 hour battle of semi tripping as I try desperately to fall asleep. I could see having even the prospect of human contact being very reassuring and maybe change my attitude towards trippin alone.

These exchanges bring up a good point too: There are no hard and fast rules about tripping in a group or alone, but to get the most out of a trip you really have to know yourself, and to some degree know, or at least respect the shrooms. Some people are absolute rocks, and almost nothing gets them to a place they can't handle, others need the security of companionship, and this applies a lot on your first trips before you're familiar with the effects of psychedelics.
I've done it both ways, I've had great experiences both ways, but they are very different. To thine own self be true right?

that's a lot of what it is.  some people need others, some dont.  if the majority of people had as bad of a trip as i did when i ate the 8 grams, i honestly believe that they wouldn't have handled it as well as me.  i was somewhat freaking out, but still collect.  i was DEFINITELY worth it, and i hope i have a nice scare like that in future trips.  :crazy2:

Yes.  I aggree.  Some people can handle more than others.  I haven't ever taken shrooms alone but I am planing on it once I get a new job.  I have taken DXM before alone.  It was a very interesting experience.  It really made me think about stuff.  But then later on in the day I felt so weird.  Like I was outside myself.  I think thats why I stoped taking DXM.  It just got old and I didn't like how it made me feel anymore.

'breaking through' IS having all melt away. scary indeed, but it does bring much understanding.

Yeah I'm just now beginning to understand what happened that night. It took a lot of low dose tripping to make sense of it.

I don't like tripping alone. I'm usually alone for the last couple hours of my trip rather than the whole trip though. But even that I don't like. I don't even like being in the washroom lol. I just can't stand the solitude. The presence of someone else (even if we aren't talking) makes me feel much more comfortable.
My boyfriend and I always do high doses together. Lots of the time we'll just sit in silence in the dark with good muisc on and trip out. One we were at his cottage and we just laid under the stars with weed and lawn chairs and watched the sky for hours.
I prefer tripping with others to tripping alone for sure.

I don't really consider psychedelics a recreational drug, that just seems like you're disrespecting the plants. You can get some really good work done while tripping and being with someone else is just distracting.

I like to trip alone just because it allows for 2 important things. One, I need the freedom to do whatever i want whenever i want. Specifically, i like to get completely naked when i trip in my room at night, just naked meditation or laying on my bed listening to music.

Number two, it allows for the quiet introspective thought that i seek when i trip, as others have mentioned, i find even my best of friends distracting and even annoying at some points. At times it even brings the trip down because they are trying to do their thing and you are trying to do yours and sometimes they can conflict.

Then you are faced with an awkward situation, do you ask them to stop doing whatever it is they are doing for you to more enjoy your trip and them to enjoy theirs less? I don't know what to do at this point and this is why i prefer tripping alone.

It all depends on the people im with. If im with someone i am really close to then i love tripping with them. I'm convinced i have had telepathic conversations with my best friend. I feel i have such a stronger bond and better relationship with the people i have tripped with. But i also agree with whoever said higher doses are best for tripping alone. I trip alone most often.

IMHO... as the others have said... on high doses its better to be alone and you can really get inside of yourself and just being alone in the thought loops that come from eating and ounce and with a lil MAOI help can speak revelations to you... on lower doses i still prefer to be alone becuase i am easily paranoid and annoyed by ppl that wont stop talking and let me trip...

but ive also always said thats why mushrooms are the perfect chemical... they can be whatever you want them to be
