Annoying things about tripping with others

Sometimes tripping with others can be awesome. And other times it just makes me think how annoying they can be.
I tripped with a friend the other night, it's not the first time. Normally we'll just chill out. But this time he was acting like a 14 year old. Relentlessly saying dirty jokes and being pretty vulgar in general. Not that I was offended, but when you're tripping the fuck out it can be really distracting.
I still had a great time overall, but sometimes I find tripping alone to be much better, because I don't need to worry about the state of mind of others around me.
Other things that annoy me when tripping with others:
- People who bug you constantly and ask, "how are you feeling" constantly, or "are you alright". I know they're not trying to be annoying, but it is.
- People who try to freak you out. Not cool at all.
- People who take to much and then can't handle their shit. A few times I've been tripping and others have told me they want more shrooms. Then they end up freaking the fuck out when they kick in, and then I have to try and take care of them.
The silliest example was when a friend of mine took 10 shrooms to begin with (freshly picked) and then kept eating more and more. He ended up feeling like shit and I had to look after him.
- People who just can't handle their shit in general. Another friend I tripped with ended up locking himself in the bathroom and screaming "fuck off" when we asked if he was alright. After that he swore of shrooms. Ironically now he takes way too many drugs.
- People who ask really personal questions, I'm trying to relax when tripping, so I fimd that rather intrusive at the time.
- One last thing. One time I was tripping with a few people when camping. And a sober friend decided to light up fireworks. The fireworks were dodgy and started firing at us. It was surreal because it took us all a second to work out what was going on. I have to jump out of the way of a firework and it was amazing no one was hurt.
Strangely that didn't send anyone into a bad trip we all sat around laughing about what happened. But it was pretty fucked up at the time. Lol the adrenaline high felt amazing when tripping though.
All these things were only slightly annoying at the time. (I've been lucky enough never to have had a bad trip.) But I guess it's why I prefer to trip alone. Because I have the freedom to what I want, and I don't have to worry about what someone else is doing.

All those points are sort of a given when tripping with people, no? Just my 2 cents

People who come to you for comfort when things are rough, but never give any back.
People who touch you while in trance because they "got worried you fried your brain" (Yes this happened. Yes this send me spiralling down in full on panic mode.)
People who don't want to come with you to an awesome nature reserve and instead want to watch spongebob all trip long. 
People who tell you you are acting crazy right after they have been looping for hours.
People who don't understand why you want to trip alone from now on

I keep my groups small, and address all of these problems beforehand. Regardless, still prefer solo if I'm trying to gain anything from it.

Yeah complications can arise from tripping with another, and I indeed have had the same exact experience of telling a friend I wanted to try tripping alone to gain the full benefit from my trip. I just found that after the initiation into the experience the more I explored the more I kept getting sucked back down by having to babysit and assure the keeping of shit together; which at the time I felt differently then I do now after retrospection and integration of those experiences.
Not that I or anyone is any closer to figuring this stuff out then anyone else I believe we are either all right or all wrong its all subjective to the individual experience and I am just sharing my own.
If someone does not "handle" an experience like you they should be addressed and handled during the trip when the soul is on the surface. Its not full proof as how effective the session is will greatly depend on where their attention is after they are no longer "high" as well when presented with their normal ego requirements and that is where the "test" and potential can be seen but becomes increasingly harder to maintain unless a passive speculation on a more positive direction and shift in consciousness that they themselves want to shift to is had and internalized. I would only recommend trying this with someone you already have a really good bond with or a really good friend or wife whom are truly in love with there is obvious people that are never meant to trip because they would end up like the people running naked down the street of a crowded intersection getting tazed by the cops without us there to hold them down and keep them in the house/car (which I thought was like 1 or 2 on the first rules of set and setting) but that being assumed already.. the bond almost becomes scary afterwards having the experience of being able to meld and mold consciousness with a friend during a trip It was something I never thought of doing it just happened after I asked a few key "reality shattering questions" during the peak of an LSD trip. Now every time we hangout synchronicities occur and a different feeling is felt in the satisfactory level of being around someone who "understands" and that's what we all want ultimately.
Be the change you want to see its your reality.
Namaste.
