Need advice for a confusing situation.

I understand in a way that this is your typical, "I'll be by myself should I trip or not OMG yo!" type of post, but I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I haven't tripped on shrooms in 8 months. It's been a bit of a dry season my way for so long, I basically can't remember what shrooms are even like. Well, I tripped many times in a short period with the same group of friends, always had a fantastic time. The last time I tripped I suffered ego loss. I didn't really even mind it, I enjoyed it and learned from it and even said, "I'd do it again," during the comedown.
Well skip ahead 8 months, here I am, an eighth in hand. Problem is, my group just basically ditched me on Sunday. We were supposed to do it yesterday and then all of a sudden I get a bunch of excuses that make no sense and the basic gist is that the 5 of them are tripping without me and I'm on my own.
I wouldn't have minded tripping by myself and fully planned on it after a few more times but I wasn't expecting to be forced into it so early. It was really upsetting. So now I'm in a bad mood, I'm forced to break off of my group and trip on my own, and I don't even have privacy here because my girlfriend lives with me and is unemployed. She used to trip a lot but not anymore and I'm not sure how it would be to trip with her when she's not on anything.
I don't feel like I'm capable of bad shroom trips. I've gone to hell in visions, had ego loss at the 5 gram level and dealth with sobbing, bad-tripping women and I've never had a problem before so I figure I'll be alright on an eighth. But I'm worried that a recent horrific salvia trip and this recent problem with friends is going to consume my thoughts. And I'm worried that I'll be uncomfortable with a non-tripper around, but at the same time worried that I won't be alright if I'm completely alone.
Thoughts? Experiences? Opinions?

Best advise is dont trip if youre not feeling positive about it. Its just asking for a bad trip. Calm down meditate, re-analyse your situation and approach to mushrooms and then set a date in which you will be comfortable doing it alone.
Tripping alone can be a wonderful experience on its own but it can also be a horrifying one in which you are helpless
Good Luck!

Well - tripping alone is fine. Hell, even having your GF around as a 'sober sitter' may be nice - just ask her if she minds while you trip even if she's not doing it also.
However, personnaly - I would wait untill you are in a bit better place mentally and in a better mood before going onto the trip. There have been many times I've postponed a trip a weekend or two because I was feeling too stressed/bad at the time.
So, I say - wait a week or two untill your in a better place mentally, and then see if your GF minds if you trip with her around, and possibly even act as a 'sitter' if you feel the need.
Or - wait untill the weather improves so you can spend the entire trip outside.

do not trip if you are depressed, negative, feel bad about something or any of the above.

You just might have a surprise. I know I did, when I was feeling down I took mushrooms saying " so what? I'm curious to see how it works" and had amazing trips. With ups, downs, everything, but I say try it and then talk. It was the best cure I could get for my depression. The intensity and significance of the trip just made my problems seem humble.

that would tick me off if my friends all got together purposefully without me...and left me to shroom alone...gayness. may i ask why?
and if you're feeling angry/negative/depressed about it, at least mentally resolve the issue...and don't dwell on it at all on the day of tripping.
waiting is the best way to get it off your mind if its troublesome.
if its a simple logistics matter, you're A-okay trippin' alone. the girlfriend can work as a trip sitter, asuming she's cool with you trippin.

Yeah but what doesn't kill you make you stronger, it's a saying. And a trip won't kill you. Maybe you'll came up with an answer or an idea of what's the best way to treat your problem. That's what psychedelics are for, right? Maybe you won't come up with anything regarding the problem, but still you get something from it. Anyways, this is a personal decision, just giving an advice which worked for me.

God, I don't know what the fuck it's about and I'm seriously just too pissed to deal with it. This isn't the first time they've pissed me off.
Yeah, my girlfriend's okay with me tripping, always has been. Has sat for me on plenty of occasions, she's awesome like that.
I think what I'll do is wait until maybe Sunday and see if they explain themselves, and if not, hopefully enough time has passed that I'm ready for the experience. And even then, I'll take the first 2 grams and see how I feel, and boost it the other 1.5 an hour later if I feel up to it. I appreciate the help guys, I really do.

Ah screw it. I've been waiting for this entirely too long. 2 grams down the hatch.
If you want, I'll let you know how it's going (hopefully during the trip) and you guys can act as my distant trip-sitters. If, a little while after I feel good, I'll take the other 1.5.
I'm actually in a pretty good mood.

Jung "So really, ordinary reality is a kind of chemical habit, sanctioned by culture, which says it's okay to use certain drugs, eat certain foods, and have certain sexual behaviors. However, when you transcend all this pre-conditioning by returning to the original wisdom of the animal body, then you discover this immense dimension of opportunity. For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience." Terence McKenna

Alright, it's all good. I miss this so much. It's so friendly, like it's how things are supposed to be. You guys rock. Yeah, I think I'm pretty set, another 1.5 down the hatch. I'm in such a good damned mood. Peace out!

I appreciate the good vibes, guys. The trip went well. Outside problems actually had very little influence on the experience.
Whew. A lot of ups and downs, it was a rocky ride but all well worth it.
Note; Flava Flav doesn't look any better on shrooms. His head actually looks smaller, which is inhuman.
