Were the other people in the group people you knew well, and have tripped with before? Were they experienced trippers themselves?

If they are truly your friends, and are experienced in tripping, they should know that people do weird shit...odd events occur, and they shouldn't judge you by your actions while you are tripping.

From the sounds of it, they had to be pretty aware at how uncomfortable you were, and if they had a decent mind about them, they would have made an effort to change direction, change setting, by getting up and changing the music, or just dismiss your small rant and start up a positive subject.

That, to me, would be what good friends and trippers should be doing for the group. not focusing on the negative reaction of a single tripper and sending them into a bad trip, they should make an effort to keep the vibe going in a postivie direction.

This might just come from experience, and learning how to navigate these waters. But when you have a room of people that are all dosed, and on the same level. Everyone is going to notice all the little subtle signs of the next person. If you can keep a happy good vibe going between all of you...you'll have a really fun and memorable evening.

It wasn't that I needed there to be talking, I was more or less just talking to myself, and I thought that they were partly listening.

Then they looked at me with the "what the fuck are you talking about?" look on their face.

So awkward....





They don't sound like too good of tripping partners. When your tripping you should be able to go absolutely crazy and babble incoherent rants without your friends criticizing you in any way.




Yeah, that's an excellant point.




I definately think that is the last time I'm tripping with them. The one of them, I've tripped with before, many many times and hes a cool guy (might be reading this right now). And I would love to trip with him again.

But the other two that were there, were so weird towards me. I guess it wasn't just me, They were definitely not the most chill people to trip with, and I don't think I'll do it with them again any time soon.




I tend to agree with you on the fact that you shouldn't trip with people that you feel uncomfortable with.
But I want you to think about something first.
You know very well how it is to feels to have that awkward sensation and how it felt for you when you had that sudden urge to communicate. Sort of like trying to justify your own self.
What if those other friends of yours reacted this way because of a similar feelings of heaviness, of awkwardness? Perhaps they were unable to communicate (you know very well that after tripping our minds need to adjust to the standard mode and great oscillations can occur), and the reason why they were a little harsh in you mumbling was in a need to justify their own inability to talk to you? Or to help you out in an obvious difficult moment for you?
Hell, we do that even when we're dead sober and lucid. Sometimes it just happens that we feel the need to blame the other just so we can redirect the guilt from ourselves. It's not a wise choice, but it definitely happens and it's justifiable under such conditions.
I'm just examining the possibilities here...
Maybe you should just be open to them, before you make any decision.
I mean, what do you have to lose?
If they open themselves to you too, then it can all become a big opportunity to create a deeper bond with them.
If not, it is still a good way to self educate yourself into having no complex. I have learned that it's always good to be open, especially about the things that hurt. It's the only way to turn your thoughts from enemies to friends. :heart:

I have been where you have and have felt what you have. its no good. Its like you are lacking all self confidence and that people can read your thoughts or know your insecurities and that everything you say is the wrong thing. This only happens to me when I smoke weed, so it might have been the weed that did it to you. Or, it might have been something along the lines of under the influence of lsd, you felt that sitting around on the floor smoking weed was a miserable thing to do and a waste of time even. who knows. Did everyone else feel the same thing as you? Have you talked to them about it?

I've had that happen before. after the mushroom trip that made me awkward between my friend of seven years, it's never quite been the same.

but that could be because I dwell on it a lot. if I didn't think about it so much I'm sure it could be fine

alright. I recall everything that happened now. I guess all I just needed was a night's rest.

I was sitting there, mumbling about this tribal show that this girl was watching in the other room. It was so weird, and i thought my friends were semi listening.

Then both the girls there start to look at me, with this weird look on their face, and i took it as a disgusted look.

Then they started to ask me why i was mumbling with that look on their face. I took this as a "I never do that while I'm on acid, why the hell are you acting like that?"

So i said, 'i hate you' while laughing to try to get rid of the awkwardness, so I figured she would realize that i was being sarcastic since we've been friends for a long while. She thought I was being serious I guess, and then they both looked at me like "what the fuck is wrong with you?"

You are allowed to say you hate your friends in a sarcastic way, I do it all the time do my friends and they've never taken it like that. So it was just a big miscommunication. We know we are friends, and it's going to stay that way, and obviously if I say I hate you, its not serious. I don't know why she took it so seriously.

So thats essentially what happened.

I find words, ESPECIALLY on LSD can take on wildly different qualities; after all you are using them within an altered context.

Hate is a strong word, as is Love. They hold a lot of weight with many people. The situation could've been MUCH worse if you folks weren't good friends.

In comparison to what could've happened, such as an intensly awkward sober relationship, the way I see it the current situation shows the love betweem you.

Next time, tell her you Love Her in a joking way:grin:

:lol: I'll go for that.

We've been friends for so long. It's just amazing how different consciousness can alter the meanings of words. I never thought she'd actually believe that I actually hated her.

That really amazes me.

I felt this way a quite a few times... It usually stems when smoking after the peak. you think to yourself "who are these people... and why are they staring at me?" You feel as though you are being singled out, when in reality, everyone is feeling the exact same way you are.

maybe theres something to that... you both said you've felt like that after smoking after the peak?

that is exactly where we were. it was 2-3 hours after the peak. Everything was so perfect until then...

I don't think it has anything to do with tripping... I have experienced this awkwardness pretty much everywhere socializing takes place... It's just more profound and noticeable when you are tripping

yeah danlennon i know what your getting at

its hard to tell what is actually awkward and what is not a big deal on acid. (so it seems)
