Tripping alone.

It's been a coon's age since I've tripped. I've tripped off many times in the company of others, and always enjoyed the experience. The next time I get a hold of any psychedelic I plan to ingest alone. I want the kind of experience I feel I can only acheive without the intrusion of other people. Also I'm an introvert and more comfortable when I'm alone (generally). Any tips to help make this venture successful.
(For my first solo trip I plan to aim for a level 3)

i wouldn't mind tripping alone either, just due to the fact that there's so many stupid people everywhere ... total buzzkill

My only advice is to stay ocupied. Last time I was tripping alone I got introverted like usual but really distraught. The trip was partially spent outdoors. I immediately felt relieved as soon as my friends randomly pulled up my driveway. I was sitting there on my front stoop. My experience was pretty quickly killed however. If you keep a cool head you could have a really great time.

I think as long as you feel good about the experience going in, a positive 'set', then you're fine. If you're nervous being alone could be a negative experience, I think, but just bringing along the information that it'll be ok, it's just the shrooms, is a big help. I'd personally be more likely to run into problems among a large group of people.

Tripping alone can be great, its gives you a chance to enter the mushroom experience without the social anxieties you may have when with a group of people, especially with large doses. Set is vital though, as you may find yourself thinking/feeling things, that in hindsight seem stupid, but at the time are very distressing. Have some good music, and be clear headed before you enter the trip. Tend to anything that needs doing beforehand, interruptions etc You'll be exploring your own mind which is always an interesting experience....
PS And make sure that your setting is tidy, I have spent many a trip trying to tidy and to be honest it isn't really fun at all

90% of my trips have been alone. Since everyone is different, my only advice is to make sure you're comfortable and that they'll be no distractions any time through your trip. I usually put on some comfy clothes (that I could sleep in if the desire arises), shut the phone off, keep a bottle of water handy, and make sure the cd player has plenty of good soothing music in it. That's my general set up for every trip. Then I just fine tune things to what I feel like doing. (Watching a movie, relaxing outside on the porch, etc. )

meditate. Go for it. I'm the same way. I have tripped many more times alone than with people. I really don't like that latter too much actually.

Tripping alone is a wonderful learning experience if you use it correctly. I go with no music, no distractions, level 5 in the darkness and silence of my room. The things I've heard and seen are amazing, and almost always leave my body and visit strang dimensions.

I plan to do a level 5 alone eventually. But I'm going to build up to it.

What you'll expect while tripping alone: You'll get a big mindfuck, for sure. No matter who you are, most of your trip will be in your mind. You'll get mostly caught up in your own mind, amazed at what it knows, to be able to take in many visuals. They happen, but you won't always notice them if you're busy in your mind. Level 5 trip alone: No, not for your first time tripping alone. Go for a mild level 3 if you're daring, but not more then that. Work your way up to level 5, don't just jump into it. If you do, expect a big fall. Tripping alone vs tripping with people: Most of my tripping experiances have been with people, but about 5 people who are good friends. Tripping alone is good if you want to find things out about yourself, achieve englightenment, or do what you want, when you want. While tripping with people, it can be alot more enjoyable. On one level, you know you have a sitter, even if they're trippin too, they're still a sitter. You have someone to talk to, which is always fun. And if they're good friends, they'll want to do what you want to do aswell, so just think about you doing what you want to do with 2 or 3 of your closet friends, amazing fun! Anyways, tripping alone is always fun when you do the right things, the few trips I've had alone were quite enjoyable! have fun!

see, even tho my friends are all willing to do anything I want to do when im tripping, I still dont like tripping with them simply because of the mindfuck I get.... Ill start to think they are getting pissed at me when they arent and ill have all these abstract thoughts about them and shit..... just shit I dont like if that makes any sense

Ahh yes, that feeling. I get it when I'm tripping around people I don't know very well. I never get it when I'm tripping with people I know well. Maybe that's your problem? Or maybe it's just you're uncomfortable tripping around them? It's really uncomfortable the first few times, but I find if I trip with people I don't know well quite often, I don't get that feeling at all...
