Anyone else dislike tripping with other people around?

Who else prefers to trip alone? I've had some decent experiences with friends but having them around sometimes takes away from my trip. Being the more experienced one I usually feel somehow responsible for making sure these people aren't going to flip out.

Meh, depends who I'm with. I'm very rarely the most experienced person in the group so it dosn't really bother me.
I hate being around people who don't respect the chemical though. Pisses me right off.

I generally don't like to trip with other people, the solo experience is so much more fun, I don't have to worry about other people having a good time/choosing music everyone likes...all that bullshit.
But I do like tripping with my lady, she cracks me up.
I have a job interview tomorrow, and after that I'm going to reward myself with a trip by myself while she's at work.

Depends upon what type of experience I'm going for... if it's gonna be a social, chill gathering with a few good friends around a campfire or some such, then it can be very enjoyable. If, however, I'm doing some psychotherapeutic work, or looking for a self-induced experience with a Source of sorts, then alone is the way to go. Low doses with friends, high doses by yourself.

Another thing about tripping solo is it's easier to notice the little things about the trip, which can be all important.

i don't think i've ever tripped with no other humans around.
but at the same time when i trip i feel no ties to anyone, and i go where i like and do what i like, no group mind for me.

I hardly know any people that will do anything outside of smoke weed, drink, and pop some pills every now and then.
They aren't crazy like me, I'm a solo-tripper most of the time, tripping with people might be nice....but you know, whatever, it's all good

I really do prefer tripping by myself. It seems to allow me to explore my own mind, while tripping with friends winds up talking about lots of shit when I just want to think my own thoughts and do some introspective work on myself. I learn a lot more on a solo trip than with friends.
I agree with Cypher, low doses w/ friends, high doses by yourself. The latter is much more rewarding.

i understand your point of view, however, my personal preference is a one on one with someone else who's had experience. i've done lsd alone, and while that was entertaining visually i found myself bored for about 10 hours till i finally got out of the house

Coaster, I'm jealous. I've always wanted to trip at an amusement park... specifically I really want to candy flip at Cedar Point....though I'd probably pass out while on Millenium Force.
Though Disneyland sounds like it would be quite the joy, anyway...just Cedar Point had more intense rides!

the only time i've tripped at an amusement park was ceder point i believe (is cedar point and six flags the same? i know they're close).
anyhow, took a decent dose of dxm, and when i started felling it i went on a roller coaster. i was so scared i just didn't trip after i got off it. my brain was like, nope, this is not going to happen now that you've messed with me. i'm normally pretty scared of roller coasters though.

I'm just like you. Always feel responsible for everyone else and making sure no one has a bad trip. By the time I can find some alone time, the trip is close to finished.

sometimes tripping with people is great, and you forge good friendships. but sometimes, yeah a hassle. sometimes i just want to explore my thoughts with some music.
but tripping with the lady is always nice.

I used to trip with my wife all the time - then she got more into Salvia and lost interest in mushrooms - now, since our son was born, she's been drug free and will be for some time.
I've tripped alone for so long now I kinda can't recall what tripping with other people is like. I find it too intimate an experience to share with anyone other than my wife so I guess I'll always trip alone - until some time in the distant future when my son can look after himself.
I love tripping alone though - I like losing myself in the experience, dipping into the ocean of the infinite for a day - bliss.

I'd also agree with this. There's something about being tripping and you and your thoughts, they'll take you to the craziest places. I definitely tend to have more therapeutic or spiritual trips alone or with one very close friend and lots of fun and weed smoking and sharing the experience as one with a small group of close friends.
