I'm a fucking nutcase with my brother and my mum, extremely extravert with all this spanner-in-the-works comments. I'm really much different with anyone else. I think it's a bad thing. I think I fear being judged if I be myself with others that don't love me unconditionally. It's great though, I think I make their lives really interesting, and mine too. It's a hoot.
Psychedelics make you one hell of a heady individual, a really far out, space-case sort of guy. I mean come on, those experiences are completely insane. Live a healthy normal life and if you touch shrooms you're going to be really shocked.

No ones going to love you unconditionally, not even yourself. That's just the way it is. But there's ultimately nothing wrong with you. You're a decent chap.

I think half of us on this site have some kind of social disorders.
I've been wondering about this for quite some time. If true what's it mean? And what does it say about psychedelics or those that use them?
Discuss.
I remember at school the group of us that started doing weed and other drugs were all social drop outs in some way. We were bums in a sense and were disinterested in the college/social process to an extent. I found a home there and a decent group of people for once, we liked to laugh and joke a lot and chill out in the fields surrounding the area, we cared little about our appearance or anything other than getting high and enjoying ourselves, those were the best times. The Shroomery is probably like another step on, even further from the madding crowds and their relentless obsession with progress.

But what's with all the social disorders. Do you think that's about on par for the rest of the population?

I don't know. It's hard to say sometimes whether the person with the disorder or the person who functions supposedly 'normally' within this society is more ill. Often I think the latter. Ya know what I mean?

Online anonymity plays a big role. Example: icelander likes to play devils advocate & i allow my thoughts a temporary subscribtion to others ideas, philosophical & mundane alike & without actual recognition or responsibility for what we type. I feel people are drawn to push the limits of understanding in this context.
saying everyone is ill or sick or w/e would be a premature assumption given that you may actually know >than 1% of your online community & therefore have judged by only what is written by proxy of said anonymity.
that's shaky ground to form a conclusion about anyone
though we judge just the same...
there in lies the real issue.

Where did you read anyone saying everyone was sick or ill? You are reading things that aren't there. 
I'm talking about those here that admit to social anxiety. And there seems to be a lot of them but hardly everyone.
My curiosity is are there more here than in the rest of the population?

i think online forums in general may have a higher percentage of people using them who have social anxiety than other more personal mediums do - just due to the nature of conversing behind a computer feeling much safer to those with social phobias

Still through proxy of anonymity you must base your question & its answers. (Psychadelics aside.)
Someone may admit to a social disorder to elicit a response, w/e that may be. I'm online chatting with little to no restrictions to what is said or how its responded to in relation to how i may actually feel or think. you are to assume that if i say psychadelics has caused me to be anti social or introverted that it is so & is conclusive to your findings, i say people go h.a.m (hard as a mothafucka) while anonymous in a forum, with or without psychs. Pick your forum, the same rules generally apply.

I guess you could check that theory out by joining another non drug related forum and ask around. But maybe here people are more willing to admit to this.

Maybe start here - http://www.socialanxietysupport.com/forum/
It doesn't appear to be a drug related forum

Not the best place to start imo It's just going to attract social anxiety types.
EDIT: I see what you're getting at. I could ask about their drug use.

No I wasn't getting at that at all, just making a stoopid attempt at humour
Although that's not a bad idea.
I guess you could also ask around the psychedelic communities if the anxious ones had anxiety before they started drug use as well as now.
I know I had it before any drugs were in the picture and it's a bit better now than it was then.
