That guy

Hey friends, I am going to be very negative here, no good vibes to be found. But I wanted to talk about this friend I have in our little group/tribe. Normally he is pretty chill, an all around nice guy. But when he trips, he becomes a terrible person. Often he starts going on an ego trip or something {This is MINE, that is HIS, etc.) and likes to loudly declare to everyone that he is not tripping any more (often right after the peak), spreading confusion through the group.
This would all be kind of tolerable, considering he is also tripping. But one time he just went too far, man. We were doing truffles, and while we were outside in a field enjoying how crazy everything was fast becoming, he puked out his truffles and his trip ended much earlier then ours. He used this opportunity to terrorize the living shit out of me and two of my friends, one of witch was tripping for the first time. He often barged in our conversations telling us how weird and crazy we were, started hitting us, taking our stuff and supplanting my music with his (An unforgivable sin..)
The trip turned very uncomfortable for everyone, and when you are dealing with fractals eating your mind, you can't handle a bully no matter how petty. Near the end we were making soup, still tripping balls. I had asked him if he could warm up my soup, but no, he just sat in his chair and smoked his joints. All the while my two other friends and me kept fucking up the soup, forgetting about it's existence etc. etc. Naturally, when we finally managed to heat our soup without burning the house down, he had three bowls.
Damn man, I don't know what I want from posting this, but it was weighing down on my chest and I had to get it off. Thanks for reading, and never be That Guy. That Guy doesn't get invited to tripping any more.

You did the right thing by not inviting That Guy anymore. I guess there are some people that shouldn't do psychedelics.

Sounds like he has some deep seated inferiority/jealousy issues that come out while he is tripping.
Tough to tell if it's worth confronting him about this issue while sober, but if you wish to remain friends with him then it would probably be a good idea.
Also a good idea to not invite him around next time you guys trip.
There's a good chance that he'd get all weepy and apologetic if you confronted him about this issue, only to have him turn on you guys again if you give him a second chance to trip with you.

..or maybe, he is not tripping hard enough to realize he is That Guy. I remember reading here, on Shroomery, that some dude completely changed after thumbprint. Maybe this guy needs total ego loss. But I don't know, just a speculation.

Yeah, ultimately it would be ideal to show this guy some compassion and get him past his issues. But that can be easier said than done depending on the level of experience the members of the group have.
But unfortunately when someone is going around bullying a group of people who are in a sensitive state of psychedelic influence it may be more likely that his aggression and bullying is going to eventually freak the group out to the point where they go chimp crazy and gang up on the poor guy and terrorize him right back in a way that he may never forget.

Holy fuck. That Guy shouldn't get invited to anything anymore, like, ever.
Yeah it would be ideal to help him out, but that isn't anyone's responsibility except his own and sometimes you have to make the somewhat hard choice to just cut someone like that out of your life altogether.

Totally agree, I had to cut off my own younger brother for turning on me several of the times we tripped together. I had never realised he was a bully, in and out of the psychedelic headspace.

Ive had a similar situation before and still kind of do. Back in highschool i had a group of good friends and 1 friend who liked manipulating situations in his favor. He would almost always have an excuse at our smoke sessions sayin how he couldnt bring his weed, forget, just ran out, stolen, you name it, hes said it. We later gave him the nickname Master Mooch because eventually we knew he was just using us as much as he could get away with. Long story short, couple years later we confronted him about it and said we wernt too happy with him and didnt want him apart of our smoke sessions anymore. He realized his ways and has started to make it up by smoking us out for once. So people can change you just got to let them know whats on your mind.

What an ass... sounds very immature. Sorry to hear that OP - don't trip with him again! He doesn't even deserve to have that experience.
