Really Bad Idea?

I have only tripped on shrooms once, and it was arguably the worst experience of my life. Basically I was in completely the wrong setting,I tripped with people I didn't really know and trust, I hadn't done my research, and I had far too much (I'm a female who at the time weighed less than 110 and I had an eighth). I think it would have been an amazing trip if I had tripped by myself. The trip was going fine until I had the devastating realization that I was basically making an ass out of myself in front of a whole lot of people (I got separated from the people I was tripping with), at my school. From there everything turned from euphoria to despair. My question is, would it be a decent idea to try tripping by myself? I have tripped on acid several times, and I have a tendency to get panicky upon encountering people I don't know. Every time I trip, somehow, inevitably, a stranger or group of strangers will show up and this throws me into panic mode. I know that a lot of people do not recommend tripping by yourself, but I think in my situation doing this would be most beneficial. Ever since that bad trip I have had bad social anxiety and panic attacks. Is it probable that tripping by myself will only make things worse? I do want to trip again (on shrooms not acid) because the beginning of that trip I experienced indescribable happiness and everything just seemed to click and make sense. It was only when I started coming down and realizing what environment I was in that everything unravelled and turne into chaos. Thank you for any and all help/advice, I truly appreciate it.

Keep the dose low, and have a private place to go if you need to. Bring good music.

I suggest a sitter, someone you know and trust and make them promise to not invite anyone over without your consent... and do it somewhere nice.

Tripping alone can be an amazing experience, because there's NO ONE there to bother you. its you and the things around you. but this is where you can get more lost in yourself than ever and there's no one there to knock some sense into you. if you think you can pull it off, and i believe you can, go for it. start with a low dose, though. just to be safe.
happy trails.~

My best trips are usually solo ones. In fact, I wish I could just have one fucking solo trip right now, as there's ALWAYS somebody (at least my brother, and often his friends) around when I get the opportunity to trip.
I say go for it, like everybody else said start low. 1-2 grams is good territory for this type of thing.

I say trip alone for sure at maybe a 2 gram dose. If you can have the house to yourself do it then. Have a phone handy to call people. Eventually you may want to just talk to someone. Keep in mind before you trip who you are going to call. Make it somone who you know very well, trust, and has had a similar experience. Get some good music and play it softly the entire time to get a good mood. Anything you enjoy, whether it be art, guitar, anything, have a go at it. You may be amazed at how you connect with everything on a deeper level. And most of all, keep relaxed. Have it a day when you dont have engagements, you dont have important things for the day. Keep yourself worry free. And most of all, have a good trip   
P.S. IF you end up getting at all nervouse play the song Green is the Colour by Pink Floyd. I cannot reccomend it enough. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl36zOAqNj8 Listen to that song now and you will see how its perfect for a relaxed trip.
