Feelings of loneliness during second half of trips

Ok, so I have now tripped a total of 3 times. The time I tripped I took 2 hits of acid. The other times i took about an 8th of shrooms. Also, and against my judgement, I have always tripped by myself. Now each trip starts out good. But it seems like towards the end I start thinking about how I don't have a bunch of friends that I hang out with and stuff and I just start feeling kind of shitty and depressed. The thing is I do have a decent number of friends I just am not able to hang out with them as much as I would like to. So am i getting these feelings because I'm tripping alone? Or would I feel the same thing with other people who are tripping.
P.S. next time I trip I'm definetly tripping with friends

You answered your own question when you said "I just am not able to hang out with them as much as I would like to." The trip just helps surface these feelings.

Just trip with friends, that should be enough. Setting is very important for tripping, setting includes fellow humans IMO Trip with good friends, preferably they should be tripping too Should eliminate those thoughts, think positive!

Your feelings are normal.
Trip alone and you get to know yourself. Trip with friends and you get to know yourself, your friends and the relation between the two.
Trips are what you feed them.
Be careful though. You can feed them too much too fast or starve them too long.

Yeah, I've had the same feelings before...however, there was a time when I tripped on shrooms, mescaline, and ecstacy all by myself and I had a hell of a time. I was tripping in my room and I was surrounded by everything that was "me", like all my belongings and posters and whatnot. I couldn't stop rolling around in my bed, it felt like heaven.
I also tripped on just an eighth of shrooms before and I got the feeling where I wanted to be with a girl. I was tripping with one of my friends watching a movie and I was lying there wanting to have a gf.

unsatisfactoriness is a sticky quality that is endemic to all experience. in buddhism the term sangsara, or suffering is applied to existence, and the practice of meditation leading to freedom from sangsara is reccommended.
this practice is akin to immersion, or concentration within. to the meditative mind, unsatisfactoriness and other qualities bear less sticky impact.
a simmilar freedom is experienced when tripping well. one tends to immerse, but as the trip wanes, loopy thoughts resume, and sticky issues regain their sway.
even though the boon of psychedelic has passed its peak, you may have learned something of immersion from it. all I can say is use your ability to immerse into the moment (following the breath may help a lot) to gain more freedom from sticky qualities of thoughts.
I am not telling you to ignore what is natural to your personality, just reminding you what your own trips may have taught you.

Don't feel lonely - get to know yourself. The one thing I've learned is, 95% of your friends will come and go, and a large portion of your friends [this isn't true for everyone] usually won't be into tripping. My favorite times I've spent tripping have been with a best buddy, or by myself. 
I do agree with what someone said earlier though - I sometimes wish I had a girl to trip with once in a while, but I'm also completely fine with being alone.

Guess you got your answer. Trip with friends.
I agree with everything said here. A solo trip is something I haven't even gotten the chance to do. (I will though!) But maybe if you don't have enough time to spend time with friends you should try meeting more people or adjusting your schedule to make time for the friends you have. I have the same problem. It always seems that I don't have enough friends, but the real issue is that I don't have enough time for all of them. I spend a lot of time with my boyfriend and another good buddy. We just happen to trip a lot together. I always think of how I wanna trip with my other friends or meet new ones to trip with, but every weekend it's the same... just tripping with the same two guys. Which is cool and all, but gets repetative. If you're looking for suggestions I'd say:
#1: First, figure out if it's more friends that you want/need or if you just need more time to be with the friends you have.
#2: Then, act on it... If you need more friends, ganja is a beautiful friendship starter. Go to school, work, a coffee shop and pick out your prey... strike up a conversation and then ask if they wanna share a joint with you... If it's more time for your friends... Make plans to see a movie then go home and eat some fungi together. Make an evening of it. I know there are people out there that work full time and go to school full time and still have time to kick back with someone occasionally. So you can too.
The only thing stopping you now is motivation... If only they sold that in pill form, huh?
P.S. I hope I didn't come across as preaching or anything close to that. Just thought I might be able to help. Instead of my 2 cents I gave you like $1.25 hehe.. Happy Shrooming.

Tripping with friends can be a great time. If I trip with lots of friends, it isn't as hard of a trip because I don't like letting go. We'll basically have a tripping party laughing and joking around just having fun. If I trip with one or two of my very close and dear friends (the 5% I will know all my life, that statistic is sadly true) I find it's a lot more of a low key event, and we let go completely into the trip. You really learn relationships with people that way. It's also a MUCH MUCH MUCH safer environment to do high doses. You have a very close friend with you to pull you back to reality and comfort you if it gets too intense. I haven't tripped alone before, wouldn't mind trying it in the right point in time though.

all of my trips end that way with perhaps one very noteable exception. but yeah,
i've tripped with friends, strangers, by myself, in cities, in woods. during the comedown i am always presented with the fact that i find myself alone in the wilderness of my own interior.
in fact around the time i stopped tripping, my trips were entirely centered around me attempting to alleviate this alone feeling, and being shown time and time again that i will have to accept it. there are always glimmers of hope though, and so i hold onto those glimmers.
