An experiment dependent on your advice
    #18819756 - 09/09/13 05:21 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

A little about me to begin, I have tripped less than a dozen times. The flesh of the gods once and Lucy the other times. The most acid I've ever had was 5 hits and that loosened the chains of my closed minded life preceding that trip, I achieved ego loss. When I took mushies It was purely pleasure no life changing experience but over all beneficial to my well being. This was about 7 months after the 5 hit trip.

  Ok... enough background lets move on to the reason I'm posting. I am quite the anxious child in social situations I fear judgment you see, judgment from the subjective viewpoints of other individuals. Although I am much more awake than most of my entire school (its a small school) I have been so fear based for so long I don't remember how to portray who I am. So what do I do? Listen to bassnectar and put my head down everyday shunning human interaction. I have come to realize a high level of beauty in all things natural and I just want to share that with someone and build a relationship based on the fact of our existence. I hope you know what I mean.

  Ahh yes the experiment
The intention of this experiment is to defeat my social anxiety so I can share myself with the rest of me.
I have about 5 grams of magical mush and I have been in a loop trying to decide weather I should eat them all and go within myself to finally face this tyrant of a mindset in an epic psychotic battle....or should i eat a gram everyday in attempt to remain in the present moment while in the presence of other human beings.
Talk to me about whatever you want because anything you have to say is worth pondering

IMO, you don't need to battle anything. I know it can feel like a battle, and that is one way to look at it. I just think that "battling" something is one side of the coin. The other side is that you need to grow sociable behaviors.

There is research showing that small dosages of psilocybin over a period of time can actually prompt neurogeneration, while a large dose will inhibit that process. That is why I don't suggest taking a large dose. Not saying a large dose couldn't inspire you, but you're not trying to inhibit a behavior - you're trying to inhibit a lack of behavior. That's why a large dose wouldn't be ideal, IMO. You want new neural growth to support new behavior.

The saying goes that "neurons that fire together, wire together." Therefore, small doses would encourage the growth of new neurons, which would start to wire with others. Couple that with a regiment to be social (setting goals like "go to a concert & talk to 5 different people," etc) and in theory, you would start to create a brain that behaves more socially.

In the end, a substance isn't going to do the work for you, but it can expedite (or inhibit) the undertaking. You'll have to put in the effort to change behavioral patterns.




Disclaimer: This entire post is theoretical and based on a couple research studies. It would likely receive a C- (at best!) in an academic setting, based on its lack of sources.
