What do you guys take as an average dose? How do you take hen all at once or through out the night?
When I was younger I would always eat everything all at once 3.5-5 G’s at a time. It was fun but I found my last few trips at this stage of my life we’re bad ones. I was off shrooms for quite some time but got into just about everything else.
Since I have gotten back into shrooms (they are now the only drug I take) I prefer to stay in the 2-4 G range and always eat them in smaller amounts through the night. I just eat a chunk whenever I want a boost and I’m normally having some drinks to keep me leveled out. I eat them pretty often just about anytime I want a big night out.
Am I doing them wrong? I have been reading all these stories about heroic doses but I don’t know if I would enjoy that much. I often just use them as a party drug. If I want to stay up later, drink more have some laughs and not ruin my life with worse shit.
Am I crazy?

You're fine.
Maybe try it a few times eihkut alcohol and going all atnonce again
You may be running from your fears instead of facing them.
Learn and grow the most when it's difficult but you accept and embrace and overcome as opposed to looking at it as bad and attempting escape
Sometimes mushrooms aren't enjoyable until after you face what they force you to face.
First couple hours usually toughest for me lately.
I spend the time meditating and practicing acceptance
Acceptance is how you overcome.
Accept all aspects of the experience. All thoughts, feelings, and emotions

nope 
maybe, maybe not, but we can't tell you 
--
if you want to party so be it...especially if it helps to keep you from "ruin[ing] my life with worse shit." maybe one day you'll use them in other ways.
sounds like you're at a 'tweener state rn between not making bad (for you) drug choices and perhaps, maybe, someday using psychedelics to help change the way you think about deeper shit...deeper than just not making bad choices while drinking likker but that's good enough right there. 
i'm partially in the no bad choices camp while also having a fraction in the just having fun and deeper end aspects. it takes all kinds to make the world go round.

They're your mushrooms, eat them however you want to.
It may be different for you, but in my experience the first dose decides how strong the trip is and the following doses just help keep it going longer.

I find dosing an odd thing with mushrooms. I have had experiences of very variable intensity with same dose of same potency mushrooms (all from same powder batch in capsules, so exact same thing). I have had very intense trips on 4g and quite mild on 5.5g, taken all at once.
And not to talk about what other people seem to experience. Lots of reports of people tripping like crazy on 2g... I guess there is a lot of individual variability in the sensitivity to psilocybin.
My trips seem to be getting weaker in general. I normaly trip every two weeks or so.
One thing I agree with the comment above is that it does make quite a big difference to take 5-6g in one dose or split in two doses spaced 40min or 1h.
That is because to me the most difficult moments are the comeup, the first 20 min or so. There is a period where your body is adjusting to the shock. Mostly because of physical feelings, I get chills sometimes with shivering, piloerection or other reactions. But sometimes I dont and I have an enjoyable comeup. The higher the dose, the more difficult it can be. But normally it is not too bad for me. One thing that works very well for me is to get up and do something during this period. If you lay down and focus on your feelings they get more intense. Which is not necessarily bad, but sometimes they can be uncomfortable.
To prevent this what I have been doing is take 3.5g or 4g at first, and in 40min or 1h, as soon as I feel them, I take 2g or 2.5g more.
The first time I took a 5g dose I found it difficult to function. Now I function quite well with 5g or 6g doses. I could even apparent I am not tripping, if I make the effort. Three weeks ago I tripped on 8g (6g + 2g 1h later, my highest dose so far) and I was able to function reasonably well. I posted quite a bit here on the shroomery that day, I had the game that I was a Jaguar You can look it up... I felt sooo full of energy and power. I did lose the thread a couple of times, but I managed to find it again, even when I was out of my mind 
My trips have normally a 1st part that is just for fun. I talk a lot, I become goofy.
On the comedown I normally lay down and become more thoughtful. I listen to music. Many times I start a thread in the shroomery when I dose and post whatever I feel later...
