Way better to trip alone?

Hey guys do you ever feel that it's way better to trip alone and not do it with friends? Every time I've done it with friends all they want to do is trip to "see shit"as they say but when I'm alone I feel much more in sync with reality. When I'm with anyone I can't have a conversation because they are so out of it. But when your by yourself you can't express your emotions if you know what I mean. thanks for reading my ridicoulus thoughts

I think for deep trips its much more beneficial to be alone, or at least to have some alone time during the trip. Depends the dosage and also the psychedelic. I think acid is better fitting for doing with friends as compared with mushrooms. For example I would not do an 8th of shrooms or 100ug of acid with more than like 3 friends. It also really depends upon the friends of yours, some may take the psychedelic experience more seriously than you, i've never met someone who does yet, but its all about what they are looking for the experience. If ur friends just want to see shit they probably don't do psychs for the introspective qualities
Some of my best 4 gram trips were with my ex girlfriend, we were both tripping, went down to a creek by my house and thats good cus we only talked on the come up and comedown, when we were peaking we just sat up against trees with our eyes closed
I feel like DXM is a good solo chemical, always makes me want to be alone to think about life

I never really liked tripping with other people.
Going in alone is more my cup of tea.
No immediate vicinity influences and tripping my heart's out...
if you can do it at night alone in a dark room... its way better. a little sensort deprivation dictates better heart opening trip in my experience...

I prefer to trip alone. 9 times out of 10 I am alone. Having fellow trippers around is also fun, but I feel like I can go hell of alot deeper when I am by myself.

Two totally different experiences. A social trip is limiting in some ways, but with the right people or person can be transformational.
A solo trip, in the dark ... eyes closed ... is a completely different animal.
-------------------- "The universe is endless, limitless and infinite. Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance. We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end. There is only memory. Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends. Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations. Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death." -- Ancient Taoist Master

Tripping alone is the only way to trip unless you have a spouse or a REALLY close friend or relative.
Anything other than that is a big no no for me

I had a 4aco dmt trip a while ago where I took it when I was kinda tired. Or atleast not as tired as I thought I was. I ended up being in this half-passing out state as I was coming up. It was frustrating and turned in to this really strenuous battle with my god damned sanity. I was like twitching and I couldn't form complete thoughts. Like I was sitting on the shitter trying to think.. my cat was beside me and I was shaking, "Baloo.. bright light.. door why.. baloo bright light.. door" that's literally all I could do with myself other than contemplate ending my misery. It took me 6 fucking hours to normalize, my one cat was god damned scared and wouldn't leave my side. This was an actual bad trip.
The point in what I'm saying is this is the type of situation of being with other people would have probably been beneficial. Maybe if I had someone to talk to, help distract me or make me smoke a bowl I wouldn't have snapped like a psychotic.
Tripping alone is great but it's deeper and more dangerous. Tripping with others is more stable and provides laughs.

I believe 4-aco-dmt mimics schizophrenia moreso than mushrooms

Yeah I can believe that. I really like 4aco dmt but I've had some really really odd experiences. Nothing like that before though.

Yeah there's something really cool and spiritual about the forest particularly at night. Any time I've ever wandered through a dark forest in the middle of the night it's always illuminated by colourful flora, sprites/faires, and twisting living trees. It's a very special experience.

Do you enjoy music or concerts rather? Tripping at a concert is one of the best ways to do it imo.
I also spend probably more than half of my trips solo.
I would recommend just tripping in as many different settings as possible. Go to the beach, camp in a canyon, walk through the forest at night as theacidjunkie says. Bring your friends or don't.
I try to trip with my friends as often possible, but as adults, timing is always an issue, so most the time I end up tripping solo. I find the balance works out great, and things kinda happen for a reason.

Nah.
I guess I'm boring because i either trip alone in silence..alone watching a big sports game, or alone listening to lectures, videos and random stuff

I usually trip by myself even when im in a group. You guys know me around here as a crazy guy who likes to dose high, and unfortunately none of my friends are quite there (ever lol) however I will go to my one friends house, dose up, dose them (mine is usually 5x to 20x the amount they consume) but we all have our own zones and if im clearly fucked up and needing help (walking around running into things trying to roll and can't) my friend will always slowly ease up to me and clearly say something like im right here, you want me to roll a blunt? You want some help walking? Something like that. Usually we talk until the middle of the come up and I just say hey bro we need to cut it short im having trouble concentrating and he will give me my space

Alone is where it's at, because you're the only one that can see the different world you are in all of a sudden. It's a very personal thing, like Alice in Wonderland (as long as you don't take that too literally ... haha, don't be TOO cliche now will you?)

For me, when I am with someone or some people, i can really internalize people(s) bullshit problems and drama. Probably from the whole empathy aspect. I have found i prefer to be alone. (most of the time) Undistracted and uninterrupted so that I may focus on the only thing i can better. ME!!!
Of course, tripping at music festivals or while camping with close friends should not be overlooked.

Tripping by yourself is the way to go. The Less distractions the better IMO.

When you are with other people your stream of thought cant progress into revelations and your hallucinations cant evolve into wonderous wonderlands.
Well they can, but its harder to let it happen
Tripping amplifies. I dont like to be at the mercy of other people's frontal lobes when mine is amplified. Its sort of like having someone read you a book at thier pace instead of reading it yourself

Have you guys that are proponents of dosing alone ever dosed with others or been around others and had a shared hallucination? Sometimes the psychedelic experience manifests in strange ways... Ill finish this thought after work

When Im with others I cant seem to relax and let go the way I do when I'm by myself. Getting spun with peeps is fun, but not spiritual whatsoever. More recreational IMO. Never have "shared a hallucination" either.

I met a guy who does a lot of deep meditation. I then introduced him to lsd and he took 300 mics while his dad and I dosed a nice strong dose of aya. About 2 hours into the trip, the lsd noob (who had gone upstairs to trip alone for a moment) came downstairs with an lsd revelation. He began describing shadows of illusion and astral projection (which is exactly where pops and I were) his descriptions fit exactly what we were experiencing. There were times when hed. Stop talking and id pick up or pops would start talking and we were all sharing the same thought same zone. I felt (I was on probably double the aya dose) like I could see 3 bands like concentric circles which danced and vibes with our frequency and I could see Raf's circle (lsd guy) as a little smaller and contained within pops circle and both of their circles inside mine (I think it was relating to perception and since mine was the largest dose it makes sense mine was the largest circle. Both of them felt it too.
Raf has been with me when I trip really hard and sometimes he will describe a thought he is experiencing sober and I see it, or he will be sober and I can push my thoughts onto him.
On dmt a friend of mine and I would see the same orbs and stuff in similar places at similar times (wed dose simultaneously and share the smoke

almost that same exact thing happened to me one time on shrooms to me and a friend. We were falling asleep while coming up on a decent dose and were both in a half conscious state wondering what the hell is going on thinking we might actually fall asleep and waste the shrooms, about 40 seconds after that out of nowhere it hits us like a strong pot of coffee and the whole house comes alive and saturated.

Yeah for different reasons, virtually all of my trips these days are of the solo variety.
If any of you out there have great trip partners -- cherish them. They're hard to come by.

I trip primarily with my one buddy spinz mcgrinz... and we occasionally get together with Lincoln City Tripper. Tripping alone is fine but I feel like I don't recall as much of the trip when I'm done because there is no one to laugh about it with or reflect during the moment and mark specific times during the trip that you can come back to you and go "hey remember when so-and-so happened?
Just my 2 cents

...true!
I love how we can immediately start analyzing the trip once we get a good head space after the peak and we can start talking again and then there's always so much weed and laughter and great conversation and more laughs excetra! 
Manectric by myself I'm always needing to call or text somebody after the peak so I can let him know how great it was exclamation point

I've always been into tripping alone. I hated that awkward thing that went on while tripping with friends. And it was always at my house. Eventually they'd leave and I'd be left all alone- a really strange transition when you're tripping.
My wife has been against mushrooms, so I grew them and took them secretly. That, in itself is a bit of a mind fuck. I'd start to get paranoid and feel guilty for being deceptive. But that's over, she now trips!
I'm really looking forward to our next getaway. We like to rent a cabana by the Delaware water gap. There's nobody around, we have the beach and some nature and lots of privacy. We'll trip and watch the boats go by. And then I'll take her in and fuck her.

I like tripping by myself, and with other people. It's a pretty great human experience to share with close friends, but exploring ones inner self and really going deep in the rabbit hole is better achieved alone. Concerts on shrooms are pretty cool too, provided you can establish a kind of "home base" to sit and chill if things get a little crazy.
