Tripping by myself for the first time tomorrow

Tommorrow, I've pretty much decided I will be tripping by myself.
I get out of class at about noon mountain time and will come home, try to create a nice setting, and cast off.
I'll be eating an eighth (I've tripped three times before. Each was an eighth). My only real concern is loneliness! Last time I tripped, near the end I was over at a friends house who had eaten half an eighth. He went to bed at one point, and I became severly lonely and depressed (even cried, HARD). Now, I think the fact that I had just gotten through a break up and that I was watching tv contributed to this. I tried turning the light off and the tv and laying down to sleep and then I got panicky, quick! I switched all the lights on, paced and considered waking my friend. Luckily I calmed myself down enough and started watching television again.
I sat and thought about myself, and started thinking I was a loser and this only magnified, making me feel insecure and worthless! After all this nonsense ceased I realized a magnificent thing had just happened. I felt like I had been shattered and rebuilt, but better. My friend ended up coming back out watching tv too (he couldn't sleep) and his company comforted me, and helped me to sleep.
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to not trip alone, but I really really REALLY want to. I've heard the introspective aspect is amazing, and when you're not concentrating on real world things, it allows you to venture into the psyche, and see amazing things.
I'd like to ask if you guys think I should, and if you think I should, to maybe come back to this forum tomorrow to keep me company if things get hairy? 
Have a shroomy day

shrooms are really fun by yourself. at least for me. I can zone the fuck out and not have to worry about social interactions.

Happy music while tripping can really impact your mood. Be careful about what you surround yourself with, things effects you easier and by greater amounts while tripping.

Yeah tripping alone is great deep personal reflection. Expect to accomplish great things.

Tripping alone is my preferred way to experience them.
Ive always had plenty to keep myself occupied during the come up and peak. After that I tend to just sit and think or talk to myself for a few hours. 
I say, have no worries and dose alone..

just the lighting in the room can radically impact my mood while tripping. so make sure the ambiance is good for you

When i first started tripping alone, i had similar problems as you, Clordio. I have found that putting objects around in places i would likely encounter which remind me of who i am. Maybe a peice of paper with a phrase you can easilly identify with, an object of personal value, whatever works. After time i learned to control it more, as most do - its all perception. Ambient lighting is a good tip aswell, even while sober the instant change when turning off the overhead light and switching on a low wattage lamp is amazing to me. Perception is a funny thing, no?

Awesome insight! I will be sure to put pieces of paper around with things like "You're okay " "It's just the mushrooms", and maybe even one that will give an estimated time for when the trip will be over.
I'm not too concerned though, you guys have given me alot of hope!

Edit: Oh! and I'll be listening to shpongle 
Also, or incense a good idea? I'm out but I was gonna buy more.

Incense cant hurt.
As long as your in a state of anticipation, as opposed to doubt you should be fine. Fear is the mind killer.

When i trip its usually with friends after years of tripping alone, now i find it the same when im alone, its alot easier to slipinto negativity, ive foudn recently the best thing to do while tripping hands down is meditate, also have a long playlist of music and a couple nature dvds for the comedown, i cant handle films/actors while tripping, its like you can see how fake they are so tv is a no go for me unless its nature programs.
Just be prepared to listen to within and remember have no fear, theres nothing to fear at all.
Also try looking in a mirror naked for a long time during the trip, i do this when alone and it always makes me make a list of things i need to change in my life

Your very right about the nature dvd's, and how actors seem (are) superficial. My very first shroom trip, i had my friend duck tape me to a lazyboy chair in front of a big screen tv watching planet earth in HD. Life changing. The duck tape wasn't necessary at all though, and may have had a negative impact on my trip. Point is, nature shows are great.
Look up the band "thievery corporation" if you don't already know if them. Really tripppy ethinicish/electronica/jungle music. Great for tripping, you feel so primal.

I have no nature movies. I've got plenty of trippy music though! I've also got alice in wonderland which I think will help for the comedown.
Any online videos of nature, preferably high quality?

Cartoons are very cool when tripping 
YOu want good Q for the nature tv, or maybe im just used to planet earth in HD 
How about this, go and download tons of nature pics, loads of pics of space, dont look at them, dose, then let them play...
Ive found a good gauge to if im still tripping or not is looking at a pic and if its not moving with life, im not tripping anymore

download the trial version of a visualizer called G-force.
i have owned the full version for more than a year now and i cant even begin to explain how incredible it is to watch it while listening to your favorite music(i love shpongle myself )
i have tripped alone twice so far and i find it to be more spiritual and self-revealing than when i'm with others. so yea, set yourself up with cool things to look at( a digital slideshow of nature, space and artistic images; a cool looking plant under a desk lamp; go in a small dark room like a bathroom and set off the flash on a camera; lol really just get creative with it!)
but anyways, have a great time man, sit back, relax and enjoy one hell of a ride

I love the flash idea 
i remember at a rave when i was on acid i had my finger on my eyelid and i was vibrating so everything was a sort of strobe, all the images coming in turned into this old style 50's movie, lots of weird messy visuals and things.
Another good thing is to just get a mass of pillows/duvet/blankets on your bed and just lie inside the warm cosiness
