Totally feel you on that one man, I just love the freedom of being alone. Every time I trip with people they always want to constantly do something and my anxiety skyrockets. I start to think, "Fuck, why did I invite them!" I like to chill, relax, smoke a couple blunts and do my own thing. Tripping alone is just tops, very enlightening.

In my experience it is a problem if the views of the people taking the substance differ. I can not trip with people that view it as recreational. If they share my view on the substance, I can.

I quit smoking about two months ago because I really couldn't handle people, at all while high, and even days after smoking, so I gave that shit up and I feel 100 percent better. But while tripping, I have the best fucking times with friends, and people, and just really connect. I've had a few awkward moments, mostly cause by other people, but usually push right over those awkward vibes with laughter and happiness and everyone follows. I have had one time coming down from LSD where me, my best friend, and my other "good" friend were there, and it got kind of awkward for us, and then my best friend started having a bad trip, with made things even worse. But that was the most I've ever taken too.

I tried tripping with a group of people...freaked out. Tried trippoin with one of my best duddies....freaked out.
I've never had any kind of freak out tripping alone.
What's the deal?
Note* I do have some intense axiety problems but never around people I'm comfortable with.
Also if I were to take a benzo when I'm ripping would it dimminsh the trip?
Since you have anxiety problems a benzo would help if you are freaking out. But if you have a better time alone then keep doing that. I get nervous around people but that is because I am cynical lol I have had bad experiences with people treating me like shit when I trip hard and they think I am just being crazy, like I should be able to control myself when I clearly cannot. If you are in a relationship with someone who you are very close to that would make the experience amazing. I would say keep tripping alone. There may be a subconscious reason as to why you freak out when with other people. Some people are just more sensitive to others vibrations and that may be the case with you.

Patient "doc, it hurts when I do this" Doc "don't do that then"

I feel like this is what's going on here.

The benzo would probably help if you regularly take it and have somewhat of a tolerance to that medication. It diminishes the trip slightly for me but its not like it takes it completely away. Then again, I don't take benzos a lot so a small dose probably has a different outcome then it would for you.
I typically save benzos for the end of a trip. Like if I know I have someplace to be the next day and can't let the trip extend as long as it wants to. Most of the time even after visuals, etc are gone my thoughts are still racing and I can't chill out long enough to sleep. In regards to the other people thing it just seems anxiety related. Even if you trust them you still don't want to act like a fool probably so you start stressing. I know that when I am around other people I feel like they aren't having a good time like I am so I feel stupid for some reason. If they are tripping too makes a big difference. Me and gf with gf not tripping makes me somewhat anxious. Together tripping and our thoughts are on the same level so I don't care as much.
Plus the fact that you have already established that you have these feelings around others means you will likely think about that every time you are tripping with them. So the cycle just starts again...

Yeah tripping alone is pretty nice. You can just let your thoughts go where you want. Some of my best moments were sitting in my backyard all alone just feeling the sun and taking everything in. Im kind of a introvert anyway so I much prefer being at my house and not in an unknown situation or place.

from personal experience benzos both mellow out and dampen the trip

Do they dampen it to much or is it just noticeable?

I notice if I have a lot of visuals going they start to decrease. BUT...I think this partially happens because I get all numbed out because of the xanax and am just not focusing on that part of the trip anymore. Plus I start to get sleepy. I can still get them back by focusing and letting my eyes stare into space.
If you are used to the effects of benzos and a taking a certain dose makes you feel "normal" as opposed to lethargic and tired then you are probably okay. I would try it once and see. The worse that could happen is the trip isn't as intense as you want but then atleast you will know for next time. Benzos are a drug that I think cause different reactions in diff people so it is hard to say.

In my (very limited) experience I've preferred tripping alone. The few times I've shroomed not alone was with my best friend for as long as I can remember, and I was constantly tryin to interpret different things about our conversation that don't need interpreting, similarly to how I am on marijuana. However when I tripped alone (albeit on almost 2x the dose) I was able to really get into the trip, and get things out of it.

I am used to the effects of benzos and when I have taken 1.5mg of clonazepam during a trip the visual activity went down very quickly. The visual part of the trip should have laster a total of 5 hours however it laster 2 and light activity for the last half hour. Mentally all throughout that your in a benzod out tripping headspace but dont think of as intelligent mind expanding things. (Currently on lorazepam)

Ive tripped with my uncle who is a heroin addict and has tremendous insecurity in himself. It always ends with him asking me "did we do to many?" Or "am i gonna be ok?"...and finally its him crying over an ex junkie gf and how she "hurt him" so much and...I May be an insensitive asshole but i dont want to deal with talking to someone the whole trip. I want to trip.
I want to shut the fuck up and trip. Not pat someone on the back and tell them everything is ok.

Sounds like your not comfortable with yourself. Built walls and afraid to let people see you vulnerable.
Nothing wrong with that, but can be worked on if you wish.

Fucking this...the last 3 times I've tripped its been this and it's been teh lame. My personal fav is when people that have children trip and then they feel guilty for it even when the kids are at grandparents anyway and shit. Oh well just have to plan better next time.
