Problems enjoying marijuana socially. WTF!?!?

The first time I smoked it was a jolly good time and I was super social and had tons of fun. I went on to smoke pounds of weed with my friends.
I havent smoked with them for months because when i smoke now I get bad anxiety, running things through my head so many times I cant even get the words out, self conscious. Its hard for me to hold eye contact.
Smoking alone is always enjoyable and I pick up a bag every few weeks. I feel like a douche when I have to refuse the pipe. I want to smoke with my friends and have fun.
I used to have social anxiety and panic attacks that I got self help for. Im a confident, decisive, outgoing guy when Im sober, drunk or on shrooms, but when Im bombed I lose my cool and it pisses me off.

pot makes you paranoid, more so then others...but you get used to it eventually...if not the best thing to do is get a perscription of anti-depressants( i know i spelled that wrong)

if you want to be social just get drunk or take a hit of ecstasy, thats just my opinion so don't listen to it, if it becomes a serious problem for you just talk to a doctor about it, he/she will probably give u some benzodiazapines(valium, ativan, xannax ect...) to mellow you out and make you more carefree.

bad idea. don't take such drugs unless you really need them.
Maybe you should smoke less, start with a very small amount. Also think about what you're paranoid about; is there really anything to make you paranoid or are you just making it up? If so convince yourself there's nothing to worry about. After a while you'll probably get used to it or even change your train of thoughts. If not, well then weed in social sitiations maybe isn't for you.

Thats exactly what I get like with weed/resin. Gave up the stuff completely for a couple of years then tried a bit last summer and nothing had changed, still got the anxiety, self conscious crap but even more intensified 
I've given up weed for good now, just can't be arsed with the stuff anymore.

I like weed much more alone. A few beers take the edge off for me. I like the beers even if I'm alone. I like weed in a bar if I'm really drunk and it's noisy already but like over at someone's house or something I just get super self-conscious like you're talking about. Xanax and Valium also are great at taking the edge off. Good luck and don't sweat it.

Apollo 11, 60% Sativa, you're probably gonna freak out still, more so than before. "Social Bud" just means everyone is going to be a lot louder and a talking a lot more, and all at the same time.
I think anti-anxiety pills might benefit you, if you have even the tiniest bit of anxiety while sober.

i went back and forth with weed and only smoke now at the end of a long day and not at a party. i get too paranoid and it's just i have nothing to say or do because i don't even want to move. I only smoke alone or smoke with people then chill by myself, its the only way to do it for me.

Im exactly the same, i used to be alot worse but now i don't really smoke with my friends. I got used to saying no.
If i do get stoned i just accept that im battered and that's how it makes me think socially. It's like it puts a block on your brain/thoughts, which makes you anxious. Its no big deal though.

Yeah, thats not really sound advice. If weed is causing you problems you should probably stop smoking it, at least for long enough for you to forget how anxious it makes you feel. You'd be surprised at how a long break from something like dope can change your attitude about it.
After a long break you might not want to smoke it again at all !
Medicating yourself so you can take more drugs recreationally is not the way to go. Though i do tend to drink with friends as a substitute for smoking pot. Thats not something i feel like i 'need' to do, i just enjoy it

My solution: keep a few cigs around, and try to drink a beer or two during. might work for you?

I have the same problem. Weed just makes me clam up, and I get really anxious and self conscious. Most of the time I'm able to just overcome it by recognizing that it's only the drug, and that I'm being paranoid. It doesn't bother me at all if I'm just with a few friends, but if I'm at a big party it helps to have some other form of social lubricant.

I'm the same way. The first times I smoked I felt like everyone was my best friend, but then after a few months of that, I can't trust anyone when I'm stoned, but I LOVE to smoke by myself. My solution: Drink with friends, smoke by myself, and very rarely take 1mg clonazepam (klonopin) about an hour before if I'm going to smoke in a social situation. Works for me.

Do I advocate meditation and the like? Yes, for people who have the discipline to carry through with it. Do I recommend it under use of cannabis? No. There is a type of meditation that is enhanced with pot, but this type is not one for beginners and the necesity of being stoned during it limits your ability to explore it's options whilst "sober". Therefore I am not going to mention it. Your situation, being the trouble of utilizing cannabis in a social situation, is not only common, it's practially universal. You see, the overwhelming majority of pot available today 'on da street' is a cross erring to the Indica side as they are easier and less time consuming to grow. Therefore, the stone associated with it has the Venusian quality of working along the sphere of Netzach. In other words, pot is not the best drug in social situations and the enjoyment(in terms of the Rauch) that you recieve in the company of others is determined by your ability to reflect upon the past and co-relate to the present. The triumphant lady cares not until the setting of the sun! Of course, there is an exception when it comes to Sativa dominant strains. In this case, Hod is the sephira of choice. This makes it's useage in a social situation far more appropriate and beneficial. Always note that the problem does not reside within yourself, but in the inability to apply various tools to their intended purpose. The main thing to do is not to let your ego get carried away. A difficult task, but a necessary one.
