Alone is better if you're going beyond low doses. Unless you're talking a CRAZY dose, then yeah... a babysitter is best. Having someone around you keeps you on Earth (so to speak). Being alone really allows you to disconnect and get lost in thought.
I find myself worrying about the other person a bit too much.

i call it solo tripping. for low doses it's not as useful.but medium to high doses can yeild very many spritual effects when in a solo enviroment. the user becomes very introverted and wants to discover things that he or she has had a hard time comprehending when other stuff is on the mind. the mush can show you your problem in life but only you have the power to change that..

But, who's counting, right?

Considering that almost no one spends any time just watching their thoughts (aka meditating) to begin with, when you ingest mushrooms then take that time and do that thing...you're bound to experience something totally different than you have before.
Social tripping can teach you things, too. But, since it concerns an area of life we're all very familiar with...the lessons tend to be more mundane.
I believe the theory that the more you watch something the bigger it seems. The more attention you pay to something the more complex. The more you use certain areas of your mind, the more strength you have in that area.
Psychedelics just seem to (edit: further) magnify whatever your awareness holds in it's beam.
That's why watching a movie while tripping is antithetical to the experience for me. Unless that movie specifically moves me in a direction I want, and even then...
I like seeing the movie my own mind can cook up.

SOOO true. I have a close friend who likes to do it together and I hate it. His presence brings me back to this reality way too often.

'Hell is other people'
I sometimes think certain people keep talking ...to avoid the experience of tripping.

My mate was like...taking mushrooms on your own makes you look weird...we should all be getting fucked together on them...
WHAT A NOB! theres like 6 of us..
And i have agarics aswell, a shamanic mushroom. I totally agree with doing em on your own or as a pair...There not a drug to get "fucked" on there more of a spiritual discovery thing and i havent even done agarics....yet....i do have about 10 grams dried infront of me...................

It's been a while, why don't I bump this thread again, it tends to drum up interesting conversation.
-------------------- My favorites are weeping willows, which aren't really weeping at all. They're very wispy, witty and will dance in the breeze with you. Nothing like a tree that wants to dance with you. Although it doesn't like its thin limbs being pulled at all, it absolutely LOVES it when you walk through them, letting them gently slide over your face and shoulders. If you're naked, the willow considers it to be sex. It will orgasm on your mind and you will blow dream chunks into outer space. All very fun until your neighbor sees you. -The Joekenorer

I use my solo trips to really push the limits and boundaries of my consciousness in ways simply unattainable with others present. I recently had a great trip with 3 cousins of mine of which we all used to party together but have since gone our separate ways. It was awesome but I could definitely notice this feeling of like "Yep, welcome back to that awakened, astonished realisation of "I don't know shit!"" It felt as if they were guests exploring a part of consciousness that I had already been through, learned from, and moved on from. Tripping with family is always a treat because you're all so tuned into eachother to begin with the potential for growth and progress is so easy to tap into. At least thats how I see it they probably just enjoy themselves.

I discovered tripping alone when i was still a teenager. Of the, possibly, thousands of times I've tripped only a small handful was around groups of people. I quickly realized that at the level I was dosing that I really *prefer* not being around people then. That's usually because of the dosing I imagine though. I generally take 2-3x the amount as the less experienced trippers do and I just can't be asked to entertain anyone but myself.
I also *STRONGLY* suggest that, if you enjoy tripping alone, you try daytime tripping!

I only trip alone, or with my wife, but even with her I can start to feel self-conscious and silly because of my facial expressions and bodily contortions, which almost completely stops me from experiencing anything more than a superficial trip.

my first trip 20 years ago when I was 16 years old was completely alone. Other than my family all being asleep. I was given some freshly picked cubensis. It may have been an 8th at most once dried. I was completely ignorant at the time to what it would do to me. All i knew was it would make me "hallucinate" whatever that meant.
Hands down one of the most fantastic experiences out of many times since then.
I dont think I have ever tripped alone since that first time but would certainly be open to the idea. especially now that I understand how importand mind set and environment are to the success of a good trip.
actually i do remember another time. I split a quarter sheet of gel acid with a friend of mine. We were gonna dose that coming up weekend and the day we got them we split it. Next day he told me he took a hit and nothing happened so he took another hit and the shit was bunk so he flushed the remainder.
Fast forward to the weekend. I figure ahh what the hell i might as well take some. I dropped 3 hits and waited. I actually forgot that I had even taken them until it hit me something was weird and I realized I was in a full blown trip just heading into the peak. It freaked me out bad enough that I woke my wife (then girlfriend) up and told her I was having a bad time. Then the cat we had decided to start having babies under the bed in our bedroom. It was crazy and awesome at the same time to hear this cat have babies and see life happening all at once.

I have tripped about 15-20 times with friends prior to finially doing it alone. No doubt the experiences with my friends were great, but I always found myself wanting to leave the group on my come downs. I noticed My trips get really deep during this time, but I couldnt risk driving home on them.
My first Solo trip was basically the greatest thing I have ever experienced, able to think about anything I wanted. No more "trapped" feeling. Playing my drums was like having complete domination over my instrument, creating polyrhythmic meters that seemed to form shapes in my mind.
There was a moment feeling outside of my body, when all of the sudden my fingers and toes got really tingley, slowly travled up my arms and legs. And i'm saying " what's happening to me?". My vision was just about to go black when I came to. Pretty sure I almost fainted but it felt so amazing at the time. Loved every second.
oh and I took an 8th cubies

I would choose tripping alone over anything else personally (other then rave scenes)
I feel it is much more enlightening and invigorating.
