We (hopefully) all know the benefits of having a trip sitter around to keep the trippers in line, but have you ever taken on the role of trip sitter while yourself tripping?
I ask this because it seems like every time I trip I become a sort of guide to other present trippers. Especially if there's newbies. Even though I might be laughing uncontrollably and completely engrossed in a fleece blanket one moment, the instance it seems like someone else is in need of a little assistance - I'm on it. In fact, I notice the effects of my trip are often temporarily blunted while in this "mothering" state. I can think clearly enough to say what I need to say to calm the other person down. (although sometimes i'm reduced to rubbing someone's back while "singing you are my sunshine" and staring at a strobe light... hehe)
Anyone else seem to fall into the role of the tripping trip sitter?
