my opinion is that it would be better to trip alone than to trip with people you are uncomfortable with. those people can give you a really bad/uncomfortable trip (am i right guys?). but if something happens to you when your alone, theres no one to help you (obviously...) when i do stuff i either take it alone or with some really good friends i can trust and feel comfortable with. (i havent acually done shrooms yet... still waiting for my syringe to arrive... but ive done a few other stuff, not much.)

It would be better to take them on your own instead of with people you dont trust because you'll end up thinking about them too much.
However, I would say only do this if you're a generally happy person with nothing negative to think about, or you'll end up dwelling on it without a distraction to kick you out of your bad trip. People will tell you its generally better to have someone there as a guide, but as long as you can make sure you remember that anything negative you think about isnt really a problem, you'll be fine.
If you do end up having a bad trip for a bit and you think it lasted forever, just for a laugh check the clock, its probably been only 5 minutes.

I think tripping with people is better, most of the time. It is always nice to have a good friend or two to talk, laugh, and play with while you trip, and it really is q great time to share with your friends, but as said before, some people can bring u down, piss u off, etc, so its not always a good idea. BUT if you know your the kind of person who can get depressed or saddened easily, i wouldnt recomend eating them alone. I have had a few solo trips that were amazing, i have had a few that the majority of the trip was me being depressed (shrooms, especially in low doses, tend to make me depressed, but that goes away once ive sobered up, i just dwell on all of the negative things). But like I said, if you are comfortable with your location, and with yourself, have at it man!

I'm not hugely experienced with shrooms, but my two strongest trips have been alone at home, and both worked out pretty well for me. One was 10gm fresh Copelandia and the second was 30gm fresh Ecuadorian. The first was absolutely mind blowing and the second was quite difficult. Both were about equal in intensity.
If I trip alone, I make sure that I am clean, my place is clean, my computer is clean and my mind is clean (no immediate worries or problems), and also set up things like food, playlist, movies, etc. in advance. I make sure that I have nothing planned for the day of the trip and the following day (which usually means that the trip occurs on Saturday). I think that preparing like this helps a lot when tripping alone.

I've found that tripping alone means you have less distractions and can really let go during the trip. Go for it alone but be careful! Have fun!

I've never once tripped around other people, and most likely never will. It's just something I prefer to do alone. It all depends on the type of person you are, I suppose.
But if you do, like someone else said, make sure to remove anything out of your environment that might pose a physical/mental risk when you're under the influence. Or just take enough so that even moving around is out of the question.

I've tripped on LSD alone before and been just fine. I've only ever tripped once on two hits of apparently strong blotter LSD (freind had a strong visual trip on half a hit).
I tripped alone in my house for the peak of the trip. And then went out walked about the city after the peak.
I could feel myself a few times going into a downer, thinking about negative things and getting paranoid, this would usual happen when I was lying or sitting about and thinking too much, when I felt it happening I would get up and do something different and that would break the negative spiral.
But before the trip I had been diagnosed and on medication with different depression and anxiety problems for many years.
In retrospect of the trip, it was like I was living another life condensed into 12 or so hours of my own current life and this really helped me to understand and put things in my current life into presepective and since I have felt much better and have stopped taking my medication without any problems.
Back to the original question - It's a bit like the red pill or blue pill question.

im intrigued as to tripping alone myself...i plan on doing it soon.
Tripped at bonnaroo (obviosuly) and ended up freaking myself out getting lost on shakedown street...so i sat in a port-a-potty until my trip went away (which was intense in itself since i could hear hundreds of conversations but not see anyone participating in them)

i trip alone most of the time, cuz when i do shrooms im looking for a sorta inner realization.
when i trip with friends its more of just fun and goofy shit, not to say thats bad.
do what you feel most comfortable with cuz odds are its right
