Should I do it on my own?

After I've satisfied that I've done enough research on the subject, I'm going to be trying cubes. This will be the first time doing any drug besides weed, which I have only done on a few occasions. I'm also not much of a drinker, I'm going after this for the spiritual experience.
That said, what are your thoughts on doing mushrooms, by yourself? I've been watching some youtube vids on the way people act, and frankly I don't want to make a fool out of myself. I know that's just the ego talking, but I don't know anyone who enjoys the thought of just becoming a complete fool and basically a laughing stock, in front of someone else. Its just not something desirable. So what do you think? I have found a sitter who I trust, but that doesn't mean I want him to think I'm a complete fool.
Next question, what should I wear? I'm assuming the most comfortable stuff I own, but I thought I'd ask, just in case.

Ive done an 8th alone and it was neat. Wood grain furniture was flowing like water, got lost in the mirror for a while, listened to music for god knows how long, loved on my cats a ton, forgot the concept of time and freaked out.
Give it a go mane what's the worst that could happen? I did tea

Personally, I wouldn't suggest smoking weed and doing shrooms, it fogs up the trip for me. If you are gonna trip with someone, just trip with someone you are comfortable with.
I'd say trip 2.5 grams, it's a great beginner dose. It's a trip, but never too overwhelming. And don't worry about acting stupid, the only reason those videos are being watched, is because the person is acting stupid. IME, most people don't act super crazy while tripping, at least usually anyways.
I personally prefer tripping alone, as it's much more thoughtful and spiritual. When I trip with people around, it's usually more of a recreational trip.

When I trip hard I always feel the need to get naked. It sounds weird but its how I feel
Tripping with others I go with a lower dose to curb the desire.

Go solo, 2 grams, music, in pajamas, in your bed, smoke weed for nausea or make tea, my favorite. If you want a sitter make sure he/she has tripped at least 10 times, I wouldn't trust my first time to anyone else. Hell I thought i knew it all when i tripped with a first time and still learned a few things. And yeah don't worry about what people think, the best way to go with psychs is to let go in the first place, just a bit of advice, ive been around a while.

I like doing mushrooms alone. LSD and cactus are a little more social (although I had a great trip on cactus by myself recently) but I think mushrooms are best alone, in nature.

I understand not wanting to be embarrassed, but i would recommend a sitter for the first time. Or at least have someone that is nearby that you can call if you start freaking out.
Having literally lost it on mushies my first time, 3.5 gs, i know from experience its better to be embarrassed in front of a friend than running down the road naked and getting picked up by the cops (not what happened to me, but it has happened).
Its not like weed where you always realize you are on a drug and if you get paranoid, you know it will end. When i had my bad trip, i thought i wasn't on anything at times, and that me and my brother had created the world. Who the hell knows what i would have done had he not been around. Probably would have run down the road naked haha

I have always known I was on a drug and it would end, even when taking a 10 strip of LSD, 6+ grams of shrooms, etc. Never even felt close to not knowing it was a drug and would end. So, I guess it depends on the person.

I wouldn't be embarrassed about any drug affects. Do what you do, be confident and enjoy your trip.
Just my 2cents.

Thanks for the help all. Yeah, unfortunately I don't know any trippers. Not a single one. All I know are the... well lets just call them inexperienced people who if they've tripped, it was 15 years ago and they decided to do it at a party with 50 people and got drunk and high first. In other words, not the way I'm going for.
And none of these are people I would trust, anyway. The one person I would trust, who is cool with being there sitting for me, has never tripped. This is why I asked about a get together forum so early on in my membership here lol. Cause I got nobody, when it comes to this. But I think he'll be fine. I'm just going to tell him not to let me leave the house/backyard.
I saw a few posts that seem to have the idea I'm doing it for recreation, but I'm really not. Does that have any bearing on this? Don't get me wrong, I'd like to enjoy it. But that's not really the main goal.

I don't think you need to trip with an experienced tripper... Just someone you are comfortable with. I've tripped on shrooms with people who've gone on many trips before as my tripsitter, and they made it a lame experience.
For all my trips now I just have a really close friend with me who will be sure to listen to what I have to say and to reassure me that everything will be alright.

Don't expect too much out of your trip man. From my experience, sometimes mushrooms can be the most spiritually/emotionally benefiting thing in the world. Other times, it can be a completely fun and recreational trip that won't get rough. But almost no trip will be purely recreational. Usually it'll always have incite.
Take them seriously and just think. If you expect something, you amy never reach it and end up very disappointed. Most people who are on here don't trip for pure recreation. I don't see any posts that imply recreation honestly.
Everybody develops certain ways they like to trip. Some like to smoke a bit of weed for nausea and listen to music, others like total silence and in the dark. Music is really, really amazing while tripping, and can honestly convey tons of meanings. I usually just like to go with the flow, I'll walk about, listen to music, think. I don't wanna be confined.

Whether you're doing it for recreation or not the shrooms are gonna give you a learning experience. Well, looks like you have problems letting go, and that is exactly what will give you a positive experience, letting go, while being relaxed in the right environment. Don't, worry about making a fool out of yourself, cause you won't, especially when the dose is low. Besides, your sitter should be someone that won't judge you even if you embarrass yourself.

I think if you're worried about how you'll react, or if you want to go deeper into the experience without being grounded to reality; have a sitter a room away from you.
If you can find a friend who wouldn't mind sitting in a room watching tv or playing games for 3-6 hours while you trip out, but be there for reassurance if you had any need for it

1st time always hae a sitter so you can have an idea of what the experience is like before you go on and do it alone.
I prefer being alone on my higher dose trips.

Honestly, i say screw a house, trip in the woods. I always feel so connected to nature on shrooms. I'll let bugs crawl on me (never happens when i am sober) I'll hug trees, take my shirt off and lay down in the middle of the woods. All that hippie stuff haha

This is my very first one, I'm planning more trips in the future. Some of those will hopefully be in the woods, if I can find some a couple decent tripper people. The sitter I already found doesn't much care for camping, since its practically all his dad ever wanted to do when he was a kid. Well I guess it would just be one night but you know. It just doesn't seem very feasible to me. Might be able to use the state park, we have a nice one out here.
For my first one, it doesn't seem like a good idea to leave the safety of the home. You're probably already plenty experienced for a woods trip.
