Quiet loner or life and soul of the party?

Do you think being a quiet loner influenced your interest in drugs? Or didn't it make much difference? Or are you the life and soul of the party and just as interested in getting righteously mellow as the next fellow-me-lad?

Not sure I'd put alcohol and/or maridontwanna on the list as they seem to be used by every one regardless of character traits.

I suppose it depends on the drug, perhaps psychedelics appeal more to the introvert whilst other drugs appeal to the extrovert?

thanking you please.
 
That's tough, I can be the life and soul or blend in the background with or without drugs. I guess it depends on so many factors, where I am, who I'm with, how I'm feeling etc etc
Too many variables I guess
 
^Yah I'm not one particular type. I can tear up the town with my friends and get stupid drunk and high drive around and raise hell chat up the pretty women. But I can also me fucked and just feel withdrawn and nervous and uncomfortable... I think most people are somewhere in the middle of the spectrum and exhibit both social and avoidant behaviours independent of drug use and that drug use may at most have a guiding effect.
 
I started using drugs as a quiet loner, years down the line I'd now consider myself a bit of both; I like to share my weed, but sometimes a self-hedonistic night with cocaine or whatever is wonderful <3

It's a great question.

I think a lot of people who feel shy or inhibited when out, feel they must turn to drugs to come out of themselves. I definitely feel drugs play on our weaknesses. Whereas, some people just wanna get mashed and it isn't an issue as such.
 
For the most part I prefer tripping alone, but it does depend upon the company. I enjoy escaping into my own thoughts, no matter how dark and twisted they become.

My wife is an awesome trip sitter and is happy to come along adventures with me sober. She has to be reminded sometimes that I am in public and to not create too much of a fuss, but for the most part we are like a psychedelic Bonney and Clyde.

The same goes for my doof mates. Admittedly it is an environment that is conducive to tripping, open spaces, quiet tents for alone time as well as market vendors who are patient enough to wait while you struggle with pockets and walking in a straight line. My doof buddies are not idiots either. They can hold intelligent conversations and know when to shut their mouths and experienced enough to recognise when one of us is struggling. Nothing worse than a crowded club of drug takers with no social skills or graces.
 
I am pretty quiet and a loner most of the time.
But when I use alcohol it helps me relax. I get louder and more friendly.
And, this is even more true for when I use meth. I can make friends with anyone!
 
I am never more happy than when I'm alone with my thoughts and a bag of drugs (and a fuckton of porn)...
 
I'm in the process of weaning myself off the speed influenced 10 hour wanking sessions FUBAR...

I suppose a question that leads on from this is do drugs fulfill your emotional needs better than other people could. Certainly I'd never felt people gave me anything remotely as positive as mushrooms.
 
Nothing to do with being loner or loud mouth.

You're either on the bus or you're not.

And it's not "people v mushrooms" either. That's just your (understandable) anti-social personality "disorder".

On the bus or off the bus. That's all there is.
 
Not being funny Issy or wanting to offend you in any way but why do you keep making the same threads? Like the one about drugs to enjoy life. You made the same thread last year. I'm not trying to be mean to you as I do think that you generate a lot of interesting discussion. But would it not be better if you just bumped your old threads that had the same discussion? That way you wished to compare discussions between different timings / groups, then it would be easier to do so.

It's just a suggestion hope you my saying as it comes from a good place - I genuinely enjoy your threads. <3

To answer your question from my perspective I feel that my being a loner had some influence on my substance but it's not so black n white. For instance, my feel rejected by my group of friends, after the birth of little one, contributed to my depression which was a factor in my becoming addicted to my prescription, which I was given to treat my s1/l5 disk herniation. My pondering leads me to questions such as "would I have ever had a codeine addiction had I never had a s1/l5 herniation?" n also "would I have had a codeine addiction had I never had depression?" "Would my depression had have been / seemed so bad had I never been rejected by my friends?"

Then Is the involvement of the internet n social media. So complex n such a difficult question to directly answer. But as I said already your threads are great dor that im that they generate interesting discussion that can take so many different routes. Love discussions like this. So will probably edit this post again later <3

Because there's only you and me still here from last year Evey. I thought I'd probe the current constituents. I get the knub of your gist tho - perhaps it would've been better to restart an old thread.
