is it better to shroom alone than with somebody on your first time? would just sitting in a room listening to music while tripping be better than doing stuff that you have no control over with friends

From my experiance I never do what I plan to do.
Everything on shrooms to me in spur of the moment. Also, I think mushrooms is a very different trip with other people around. I have eat mushrooms by myself and with others. I will definitively say its better to trip with other people around. I think its the social element that makes it good.

In my experience, tripping with friends who are also on shrooms (This is key) will give you a very visual mushroom trip. Click your brain off and just enjoy the effects that wash over you. But I find that whenever I trip around my friends or other people who aren't on shrooms that I am always noticing the flaws in people, flaws that are never noticed sober, but are so apparent while tripping that you start to re-evaluate the people you hang out with. And sometimes stop hanging out with them all together because you have seen what they are truely like.
A high dose of shrooms by myself will always be my favorite. When you are by yourself it is so much easier to control set and setting in my opinion and the trips always lead to self discovery and revelations. When I trip alone it is kind of like how I was talking about seeing the flaws in people around you except with yourself. It leaves your ego dead at the door and you are allowed to see yourself for who you truely are. Not to mention the mind blowing think sessions you would have.
I say,
For a fun night= with friends who are also on shrooms For a long lasting and memorable experience that will leave you with a lasting impression= By yourself

I'd say with freinds as I've never tripped by myself but think it might be kinda scary imho. To be honest, I don't think I'd dose a psycedelic by myself (excludeing weed, salvia or (when I try it and think about it) dmt) becuase other ones last far too long and I know I can get way sketched and in other weird/scary head spaces by myself. I can deal with being away from people for like 15 min. and then I start feeling lonely. That was the funny part of the thing I though about while in the bathroom: "The lonely poop" and I laughed it off till I was all ready to be out again lol.

Well I'll tell you about my first mushroom trip. I was ingesting with a few of my old friends from high school and some new buddies i met in college. We started out all together in a one room apartment and tripped out to music and a hookah for a while, eventually our trip sitter decided he wanted to drive us somewhere. For some reason I FLIPPED at the idea of 6 people cramming into a car, i dunno i thought i was going to get really claustrophobic and freak out even more. I know this effect was totally due to the shrooms, because i never get claustrophobic normally. But everyone else wanted to go, and I refused so I ended up staying behind and tripping by myself for about 3 hours.
And I'll tell ya, it was good and bad for me. At first I just put on some music and kept tripping for about an hour, but that I started to feel that I should get up and go somewhere...I ended up walking all the way back to the dorms, and thats when my trip started to get really strange for me. Being out in public, even if your just walking down a side walk, is really weird when tripping your first time. Everything seemed foreign and strange, I thought for sure cars were going to run me over when I was in the cross walk. I thought every body was looking at me and questioning me.
My recommendation: Plan to trip with good friends and stick with them. If you enjoy doing other drugs with them, you'll probably enjoy shrooms. Especially if you start having a bad trip, theres no one better to pull you out of it, or at the very least lock you in a room and tell you to suck it up.

I've only tripped for a few times and I've always had 3-5 of my friends there, tripping as well. It's always been a fun experience, but I don't know what it would be like alone.

Alone. I don't trust anyone enough to want to trip with them. Sad state of my friendships I guess.

If you're freaked out by yourself nobody can talk you down. If you're with friends and you get scared you can always just talk about it.

I tripped with my best friend (he only smoked) and I'm glad I did. I probably would have been very confused if I was alone. Good to have someone with you for the first time you try anything new.

Go with a secure, small group. Then when you feel the need for seclusion, just break free.

Yeah, tripping with other people just ruin it for me. I don't know why but I never feel "reborn" coming down, nor do I feel that I have learned anything.

i've only tripped with others once. i think i would freak others out too much if i was tripping with them so i only trip alone. also, you won't get distracted from yourself when alone, which can be good or bad, depending why you are tripping.

Ive tripped with friends a few times. I like it. Dont get me wrong there is nothing like a good shroom trip by yourself. But sometimes tripping with a couple other people can be a lot of fun. You can share your thoughts and get help organizing your racing thoughts. It can be really interesting to talk to one another. We always seem to agree on these crazy things. It can be a lot of fun, and like someone already said. If you need seclusion you all can seperate, which we've done a few times.

If you've never tripped before, trip with someone you trust and has experience with psychs! You may need some space in the trip and may need to be left alone for a little, which is normal and should be accommodated.
Once you have some more experience under your belt go solo, sometimes the solo trips can be the most spiritual and rewarding

I find that trips get a lot more intense when I'm on my own versus when I'm with others. Same goes for a lot of other drugs I've used like weed, amphetamines etc. I think it's because you're more focussed on your thoughts and feelings etc when you're on your own

when I trip alone I go deeeep in my mind and hide for a few hours while Im enveloped in the "cosmic giggle"
when I trip with others I become a rant rambler and a conspiracy theorist in between laughing myself to tears
I still prefer solo.

in my opinion it all depends on the person who's taking it, some people enjoy the company of others while others are the complete opposite.
