Microdosing shrooms, first time and nervous

Hey, so tomorrow I plan to take my first ever microdose before I go to work. I have social anxiety and talking to people I don't know is not comfortable for me atall, I'm nervous most of the time and people see this and not many people like to approach me. They Probally think I'm mean or something like that. I have a very hard time expressing myself and nobody really knows me because I don't like to talk about myself because I'm so weird.
I shall say I'm good at my job never with any problems when it comes to work/communicating with my manager, I get left to it they know I get shit done.
Just abit nervous the dose could amplify that weirdness and anxiety, has anyone ever heard of someone who microdosed that had a bad trip to say? I understand it will either make me feel better or it will do nothing noticable atall, could it go the opposite way?
Any help is much appreciated mush love yall.

I haven't microdosed but want to try it once my fruits are ready.
I imagine that your reaction could vary based on your unique chemistry and dosage level. Why don't you try it at home first before you try at work? That way you'll know how it does and doesn't affect you at the dosage you're using and will feel more confident taking before work next time.

.3 grams every 3 days which is microdose level shouldn't cause you any issues.
The whole idea of a microdose is that you dont feel effects, you just notice benefits after extended use.

Micro-dose in a situation where, if you feel some effects, you can manage them.
If you don't know the potency of your batches, or don't have experience, and you overshoot, you could increase your anxiety. I overshot my micro-dose one time and had to keep it together at work as I felt like my skin was melting . Sometimes you just get strong mushrooms and even a small dose could be overwhelming if you aren't prepared.
For me, anything 0.3g and over I start to feel.
Do you have experience with regular doses?

I would try the MD on a weekend, maybe go shopping to see if it increases your social anxiety or not. 300mg may be high for some people 100mg could be more like it. Play with the dose and try go to the sub-perceptual level. First try at work might not be the best idea.

.3 is a bit much for a microdose IMO.
Try .15 - .2g at most and you'll be golden.
Definitely better to undershoot than to bite off more than you can chew.

If you're concerned about it I'd suggest taking your first micro-dose on a day that you don't have to go to work. But by definition a micro-dose is a dose so low that it doesn't give any perceptible effects, you shouldn't feel/notice much of anything and should't be "altered" in anyway.
Have you worked with mushrooms or any other psychedelics before? Have you taken a full dose before?
I'm one that suggests taking full doses periodically rather than micro-dosing, or at least taking a full dose occasionally while also doing a micro-dosing regimen, and I also suggest having an experience with a full dose before starting to work with micro-dosing...I feel having an actual session/experience with these things has way more potential to help someone out in all sorts of different ways compared to taking tiny sub-perceptible micro-doses.
But that's just my own feels on the subject...

This is golden advice. Don't micro-dose in a public setting or a place you aren't completely comfortable until you've had a full dose and understand how the substance may affect you. Even more, I'd suggest having a few trips and or mid-doses under your belt (2-3.5+g range) before you micro-dose. You just don't want to get into a situation where you take a new substance, at any dose, and begin to panic because you can't fully process what you're experiencing in the middle of a clothing store, for example.
If you've had prior experience then recall your trips and sort of gauge when and where a micro-dose would be comfortable for you, should you experience a fraction of those "trip" effects.

Thanks for all the input guys, I definitely will take it this weekend and goto the shops or something as somebody mentioned above. Will try 0.2, I took 10g of MS cubes and powdered these will be the microdose medicine. I've tripped before with full doses, it does help alot for a couple weeks then the bad attributes become more noticeable again. Overall I still feel the benefits and I'm in a much healthy mental state than before the shrooms that's for sure... Guess I've not figured it out yet, some more learning to do 😁
Also is there a diffrence between the onset time/duration/effects between taking it in a proper capsule vs putting it a shot glass of OJ or water and drinking it?

I noticed that if I lemon-tek my micro-dose, it feels much heavier than a micro-dose chased with some water.
Capsules will take time to dissolve and thus will "kick-in" 30min-1 hour after ingestion, if there isn't anything big that's digesting in your stomach.
What I liked to do with micro-doses when I did them was take them 2-3 hours before work. Feel the effects, if any, and then ride the sharpened alertness for the remainder of the day. The reason I did this was because I micro-dosed 0.3g and that dose was enough for me to feel it.
The duration of a micro-dose, in my experience, depends on the magnitude of observable effects. A true micro-dose has no pronounced psychedelic effects (and I believe this must be 0.1g). At 0.2g, I usually felt it and the obviously observable effects could last up to an hour. At 0.3g, they could last up to 2 hours.
(And when I say observable effects, I mean effects that are clearly psychedelic. Although not a full-blown trip, these felt effects are obviously similar in nature, but smaller in magnitude, to fuller doses)

I had a mushroom that weighted about 1g wet. I figured that I would not feel it but 30min. later I felt a surge of anxiety and restlessness.
I accidentally knocked it off and I wasn't going to turn my dehydrator on for this thing. So I ate it but holy hell I wasn't expecting anything. Now I look at them with a suspicious look

I once though microdising 0.5 grams was the right way... boy was I wrong. More like 0.1.
