It can be hard for some people.... Not for others You loose the sense of Self... And have to see reality Control freaks and egomaniacs would hate that feeling Most others will accept and deal with the loss and maybe learn something
Not everyone who takes mushrooms want to or needs to experience it
If you are taking high doses... Work on your set and setting You will get more out of the experience that way

If you mean the phrase "ego death" sounds unpleasant and negative, I guess you're right. Ego + death; two very negatively charged words right there.

I don't believe in ego death. Still on a side note. It isn't pleasant. It's pretty chaotic. You have to understand that in every trip you let go a little bit but you never completely let go. That's what ego death is, the illusion of completely letting go.
If you do it like me. Take 14g of shrooms thinking I will completely let go this trip and needed a dose to do it. It'll turn amazing. But don't listen to me. When you're ready you'll feel it. Trust me.

I think It only sucks if you're an asshole, delusional, or self-obsessed.
The catch is, most people fall into one of those categorys.
