LSD for first time - social confidence - looking for insights
    #19180297 - 11/23/13 07:53 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

Hi Shroomery. First off, great site, I have lurked it for a long time.

I am interested in taking LSD while on vacation from my freshman year at college. I plan to take one hit (the guy I got it from wouldn't even give me two after he heard it was my first time.)

I have tripped on shrooms twice, and taken small doses twice. I didn't necessarily enjoy my first trip but spent my second trip outside around my most comfortable friends and enjoyed 90% of the experience.

I am someone who has some anxiety issues (most entirely come from insecurity and social anxieties) I am a master of obsessive self analysis and overthinking.

What do you think of the idea of me taking LSD for the first time by myself on vacation?
I will be near my house, the town is extremely quiet around this time of year (so no dealing with people in public) and have a friend whos tripped 20+ times on speed dial.

Do you think trying acid for the first time in solitude is a good idea? Do you think it will be a productive trip that will help me with my anxiety? I am really socially anxious so I think being alone might actually be better, but am looking for an experienced opinion. I am way more anxious while smoking marijuana with friends than I am while alone. Although I experience less anxiety in solitude, I obviously still THINK about my social anxiety.

I guess an important question is that I learned a lot about my anxiety from tripping on shrooms WITH friends. Do you think I can learn a lot about feeling a sense of belonging socially and feeling socially confident by tripping on LSD in solitude? This means that although the goal is to fix social problems, i will not actually encounter any social situations while tripping. Is this a good idea or do you think an introverted setting would be detrimental? For a while I believed that tripping IN the settings and situations which one struggles in is one of the best ways to face and solve problems, but I've only tripped twice so I don't know with confidence that this is true. Will tripping LSD on my own, not interacting with anyone for 8+ hours, help me deal with personal insecurity and social problems, or will it be very detrimental as it is so polar from what I am trying to fix?

I think psilocybin has helped me a bit with anxiety - I was really outspoken while tripping and had more social confidence toward the comedown and following days than I ever have in my entire life. While I didn't hold onto this permanently, it was an inspiration that I continue to remember.

I am going to be spending the next day or so before the trip being by myself and trying to meditate a lot, avoiding technology and staying really mindful in order to avoid rapid, stressful thinking while tripping.

Anyway, I would love some opinions from experienced trippers on this matter. I pursue psychedelics solely out of the desire for guidance and solutions to my insecurity, lack of inner confidence and contentness, and general social and self-appreciation issues. I think my experience on mushrooms hasn't been 100% perfect but it really has helped me make a lot of effort in the right direction, the only concern being that I often think mushrooms made me hyper-aware of my problems to the point where it can become extremely overwhelming. Not that I didnt already have this issue.

Sorry for the big post but I am looking for some solid insights and those can best be found by providing lots of detail.

Thanks shroomery!!!!!!!!

If I end up tripping I will definitely update with some post-experience insights and observations

edit: also sometimes think Marijuana consumption plays a huge role in my social anxieties. Even though I only smoke once or twice a week, it is almost always a miserable experience. would love if anyone had input on this as well.

I know im asking for a lot for people to read this and input but id love to have someone to bounce ideas off of and karma, ill definitely spread the psychological assistance to others!! :smile:
