I prefer to trip alone myself. I have tripped with friends tons of times but I really like being alone w/ my dogs. I guess it is all preference to what type of person you are.

Well thanks for all the responses guys, didn't expect so many. I think I'm going to try tomorrow and see how that goes. I'm not worried about having a bad trip or anything, just more of not having fun and kinda wasting my day being confused for 5 hours or so w/o getting anything out of it.
I am very much a loner I would say, which is why I'm surprised I have such a lack of fun when I'm tripping by myself, maybe I just need to get used to it and/or find my thing.

Had an eighth trip today by myself for the first time....pure bliss yo! Took a nice long walk to get the mood goin and came back, played with the cat, listened to some music and drew some pics, wow what an amazing day! I feel like I just filled my soul with the joy of life lol...Theres nothing better than getting lost in your own mind for hours, with all the realizations of life that the ground fruit brings

Alot of people annoy me while they're tripping. A lot of people can't take trips serious, and when they turn serious on them they freak out. It's annoying whenever you're trying to be serious, and have an interesting conversation, or cool experience. And your friend is just giggling at every word you say. I can understand though. Sometimes you get giggles uncontrollably, but usually it had to do with your sober prespective and view on things, so it leads to some insight I think into that persons nature.

How much do you guys normally do by yourself, the same as with friends or lower? I'm a little weary of doing my normal dosage (2.5-3.5) in case things go bad.

ya, you would think that. I dont know why but Im sure you have your reasons and your own unique way of tripping. Reasons that make you scared to trip alone, or want to say something so "foolish".
More than half of my trips have been while alone. So thats about 95-100 good trips when alone. I was never a danger to myself or anyone else. Some of these were really large doses, and some were kinda scary. As scared shitless as I have ever become, I deal with the fright and those actually are for the most part my favorite trips.
I have never flipped out in a dangerous way. I have flipped out only because of what I had to deal with/where the trip was going, and that at times scares me. To know where you are going before you get there......lol
Seriously alien shit sometimes gives me anxiety if I know where its going, or simply arrive somewhere very strange.
Usually, I then take a safe walk and deal with the space my mind inhabits. I learn how to use it, even on the most frightening trips.
I prefer to trip alone. So I have no idea why whiterussia would say that, but im sure he knows serious tweakers, or is a complete tweak ball.
I have seen a guy try to beat the shit out of an oak tree with his bare hands at some party. I have one trip buddy and have only a few people I have ever met that I would trip with.
That tree abuser/self abuser doesnt have anything to do with how I trip. That simply would never happen.

Ya, tripping alone apparently is not for everyone.

I normally take a larger than normal dose when I am by myself. When I am with a friend, I don't want to go all the way so I take a smaller than normal dose. I still have my social tie ups to some degree even around friends, and that would drag it down. When I'm by myself I am free. And the fear of making a huge ass out of my self is not their. If I take off all my cloths, so what? If I have a bad trip and freak out, so what? If I have a meaningful trip and cry at some point, so what? Its freedom when I'm alone. Unhindered by social hang ups.

yageman, you are taking a substance that while I believe shows infinite clarity and beautiful possibilities. No 2 trips are the same. While you seem to have a great experience by your self and 100 times is a ton to say the least. Your experience does not work as justification for the fact your taking something that completely alters your views about a WIDE range of things, and I have seen the worst, and I wish it for no one here, it can be avoided by a good sober friend.
The simple fact is, its much safer and much smarter to have a sober person with you, you can't argue that.

Safer, maybe, if your one who has trouble handling a trip. I have never had a bad trip on mushrooms and foresee it never happening unless I made stupid decisions prior as to where I was doing it etc.
I find tripping with a sitter significantly takes away from the experience because they aren't feeling what you're feeling therefore they can't relate and i find meditation far superior to trying to socialize with sober people (unless you have a trip buddy who's on the same wavelength)
if yageman has tripped alone over 100 times and says that he hasn't had a bad trip, then there ya go...someone who believes they can handle tripping alone most likely can...i've only tripped alone a handful of times and have yet to truly push the limits but i think once i've gotten to that point I will be able to say the same.

i find tripping alone vs with friends to be completely diff trips.
alone i usually take a smaller dose. spend most my time stuck with music, videos, or just think while little complex stories run through my head. usually stay in my room except when i get hungry.
with friends i take alot more, and try to move around, go places, explore, interact and what not.
they are both nice, but you cant always find someone who wants to trip when you do. unfortunately most my friends are drunkards not trippers =( and tripping with drunk people defiantly doesn't mix.

I always trip alone and on high doses, 5-7g.
So when I trip I tend to just TRIP! At the levels I like to reach you can't really do much else until you really start coming down.
I roughly plan out and listen to music most of the time.
Through the onset I'll meditate then wander around, look at the trees and other nature out of the windows, but mostly for the first hour or so I'll lie down and journey in my mind - and beyond.
I might put a very visual film on with the sound down, as a sort of moving wallpaper. I've got tonnes of art books and framed prints around the flat which are good to lose yourself in.
When I'm capable I'll maybe wander round the garden.
I'll make notes in my tripping notebook, indulge in felt pen artwork or even grab my guitar and noodle about with it.
I sometimes like to look into myself with a little mirror time.
Throughout all of the trip I try to look at and appreciate all the little details and nuances. Sometimes you don't need to do anything but feel the energy of the mushrooms.

I just got back from a walk with my dog, definitely feeling the effects now. I feel about the same as normal by myself so far, just kinda lost and aimless, though it's controllable because of the lower dose. I probably won't be back on the board for the rest of it, but I'll let you guys know how it went if your interested.

I listen to music (mainly something Psychedelic-oriented to fit my mindset), watch some television, post on message boards, go for a walk, call my friends, laugh and smile a lot, and think real hard. Pretty much everything I do when I'm sober.
