Why dont I like tripping w/ Friends?
    #8064979 - 02/24/08 03:48 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Why dont i feel the urge to "Trip out" with my friends and have fun with them?

I was the trip sitter for a group of my friends and my girlfriend. I was the only sober one while they were all on some great acid. However in reality the only thing they did was sit inside for 7 hours and watch the walls do their thing or wherever else their mind took them. However that isnt a good mindset or anything for me. I would not have had a great of time sitting inside a small dirty house with my friends laughing their ass off.

I would rather be outside with 1 other person tripping at most, if not only myself and my trip sitter.

Anyone else like this? Maybe its the fact i feel really fucking diffrent from my friends....i dont know, but as of right now i really dont like sitting around high as fuck giggiling when it comes to acid. Seems more like an alcohol occasion you know what i mean?

I love to trip with my wife. It seems like I have always had 1 person I like to trip with at a given point in my life. A close friend or now my wife. When it gets to be a big group, other peoples trips influence each other. It becomes a "party" instead of an experience. It can be fun in a group setting also. But I prefer tripping with someone I love. My beautiful wife.

My most meaningful trips are alone, with friends you get distracted from thoughts.

I love triping with friends. My favorite trips have been spent sitting in a comfortable room and just talking for like 7 hours strait, and then walking outside during the comedown.

i prefer to be alone while tripping too,
but i love tripping with my girl.
being alone with headphones on,
walking around outside is an experience
that can't be beat, or laying in the
dark somewhere and contemplating things.
my friend says he likes to trip in the dark
with his headphones on and freestyle
music videos in his head, i like how he put that.
group tripping generally sucks and greatly takes
away from the experience in my opinion.

I think to have a great social trip you have to be with people you would unflinchingly say you love. That doesn't have to mean your girlfriend or whatever, it can be your friends too, but there must be an unspoken bond of complete understanding between members of the group for the trip to belong equally to all. Without that bond, the trips generally get hijacked by the one with the biggest ego or the one with the most energy, for better or for worse.

If you are not comfortable sitting with your friends on acid for seven hours, they are not the right tripper buddies for you, at least not at this time in your lives. It is that simple.

I've had some wonderful trips with some friends of mine, but I generally prefer to trip alone these days, whatever I'm taking (even acid which I used to consider more "social"). These are powerfully introspective drugs, and I feel darkness and silence are necessary to have the type of trip I aim for. Of course I still like to trip with my friends sometimes too.

I definitely get where you're coming from.

I've been tripping solo lately, and it's been quite a different experience than most "social trips".

I tend to make more sense out of my journeys when I'm tripping solo, and the entire experience just feels a lot more intense. I've had some great trips with friends, but while alone I feel so much more.. "powerful". It's hard to explain.

Different trips have different vibes and lessons. But once you learn to just love the trip and everything involved in the trip than it's just easy to get where you want to be in any situation and just free yourself and not be dependent. I understand where you are coming from but tripping is easier once you can let the love flow in any situation. Peace

yea, im the same way as you dude. id rather trip alone, or with 1, maybe 2 other people. inside sucks, but i do it, especially in winter. fuck tripping inside a shitty nasty dirty house. bad energy in those places... i know what ya mean. dont feel bad about not wanting to trip with your friends. you probably are smarter than them.

Tripping has a different meaning and significance to everyone. To some people it's just about laughing and having fun, to others it's about introspection and/or spirituality. Your friends probably don't use psychedelics the same way you do.

In my opinion, such a deeply personal and transformative experience is best had alone or with one or two very well trusted and loved companions. Other people can really mess with you, and even if they're good friends I find group trips significantly detract from the thoughtful and learning side of the experience.

I just wouldn't trip with the huge majority of people, including good friends. Try tripping on your own.

I'm the exact opposite of you man. Call me one wierd dude, but tripping outside makes me very uncomfortable because it's all so empty and spacious and huge. Very overwhelming to me :[

I also love being with a big group of friends because my friends are great trippers.

Nobody is smarter than anyone else because they choose to enjoy their trip in different ways. There's nothing wrong with tripping alone, there's nothing wrong with tripping with close friends, there's nothing wrong with tripping with fucking strangers if you're in to that. I don't think any of you would enjoy someone with a different view telling you that you're doing it wrong! I personally have never tripped alone, but I want to soon, and I hate tripping with people I don't know that well.

It seems like you could get more in the area of personal development by tripping alone, but you can get a lot out of social trips, too. Such as some serious bonding with your people.

Shit, that just reminded me of a question I had been wanting to ask... In a different thread.

Well said, and I think you're right. Big egos usually make me feel more uneasy so I'd prefer not to trip with one.

Tripping inside can be okay if my eyes are closed, but generally something about the atmosphere makes it feel very synthetic. I don't sit and glare in awe at the expanding beauty of nature when I'm in some man made room.:shrug:

My friends can either annoy the fuck out of me or be great conversationalists and fun to be around while tripping. It really depends on what I want out of the trip whether I like being with people or not.

I really feel like a weirdo, because I like tripping with a group of people who are not tripping. For some reason their sober thoughts direct my tripping mind to places I've never imagined. I don't often have that with other tripping people.
