A women preferred, but any good time out doors is OK by me. Deeper in the forest the better. Or the glades in winter down here.

The fact that you had several trips and at some point developed anxiety while tripping is telling. You were on the verge of a major breakthrough. There is something in your Psyche that you are avoiding and that you need to confront and come to terms with if you want to have more complete knowledge of self. My advice: find someone who you feel knows you very well and really understands you to have as a guide. If that person is an experienced tripper than you're ready to go. If not have them read up on psychedelics and philosophy. Then prepare yourself. Read some books on pschedelic experience. Find the ones that appeal to u or speak to u in a special way. Then, go with ur guide to a place where you feel peaceful and safe and you wont be disturbed for the duration of the trip. Then take a heroic dose of Lsd. Remembers if u don't at some point get scared that u took too much then u didn't take enough. I guarantee you will emerge gratefully for the experience and a more complete person. Fair warning: there will be points in the trip where u r scared and u wish it would be over. That's a good thing. Focus on the fear. Confront it head on and find out what you're afraid of and why. A bad trip is only possible if u refuse to confront the fear and run from it instead. If u embark on your psychedelic journey with courage and a persistant will to explore the self no matter what you find, you'll NEVER have a bad trip. Be not afraid, for the truth shall set u free!
Of course, you have to decide if the pain is worth the reward. I am a very introverted person and i consider of cardinal importance the constant quest for knowledge of self and the universe. I will never be happy if i feel i am not doing all i can to explore the metaphysical realms both within and without. Some people dont feel that way. Most people can be perfectly happy leading a shallow existence where the uncomfortable anxiety that comes with questioning the nature of self is something to be avoided and not at all important. Not saying the other approach is bad or that a lack of deep philosophical understanding leads to an unfulfilling life. People who live shallow lives are prob more happy overall than me. Ignorance is bliss as they say. U have to decide what kind of person u are.
With that being said my choice of cohorts while tripping depends on the experience I want. If I'm taking a recreational psychedelic like ecstasy or a small dose of more entheogenic compounds then I want to just have fun and I will be with friends or at a rave or party. If I want to fully experience an entheogen and bring back the maximum possible knowledge the compound has to offer ill be alone with as little outside stimuli as possible. The ideal setting would be an isolation tank. I like to simulate isolation tank by filling a warm bath and putting in epson salt till I float and turning off the lights to achieve complete darkness

I started off tripping exclusively in groups but these days I prefer to solo trip.
I can get into my mind in a more uninhibited way and there's never anyone to tell me what music we should listen to, what movie we should watch, if we should go for a walk or not or whatever it may be. I get to do what I want based on how I feel at any given time.

I prefer solo tripping as well. I found in the past that at the heat of intensity among a group of friends we'd always have different ideas of things we wanted to do and at sometimes the effort required to process and make decisions just wasnt there and it would spin things negatively for me, just having to think.. I know that sounds weird, maybe it is, I'm not sure.
I enjoy tripping within the viscinity of my home, it adds to the level of comfort, and being able to do things like jump in the shower 4 times if it feels right sits well with me. I can lay down and zone out, take my shirt off if im hot, put 5 sweaters on if im cold, I can come on the net, I can go out and lay in a field and have phantom dogs attack me, nothing inhibits what I want to do and for me this is a large part of being able to enjoy a trip.. I've had some rough moments even in these scenarios, I'd hate to have had those happen in the middle of a concert or whatever.. just me though. The worst is when you're tripping with someone and they start having a bad time or freaking out and you just can't deal with it and would rather wish they werent there at all because that would be the easiest solution to the problem! lol. I look to moments I've had myself where I feel like my heart is racing too fast or my bp is too high or something just feels wrong - I'm able to work through those kinds of things, but not everyone is, and them being freaked out would lead me to get messed up too when Im not thinking clearly.. I dont know, its hard to put it.. sometimes everything around you is so overwhelming and having to deal with the task of something, especially someone having a bad time.. is just not enjoyable in the slightest and totally bums me out and adds bad vibes that can shift the entire course of a trip
Low dose Im fine around others but I tend to like to push things and with that comes sides, not all negative, just not necessarily comfortable in certain environments.

occasionally i like doing low-dose alone or towards the end of the trip and make music or just put on headphones and lose myself in it
most of the time i trip with a handful of people and with zero presumptions of what will go down. extra points if there are single ladies around, or if i have a SO at the time.
tripping at festivals and outdoor raves and crazy psychedelic house parties is awesome. sometimes my friends and i will just dose up and go out drinking, but we have a bit of experience with this so i would not advice noobies to do it.
my favorite though, is playing music. nothing i love more than getting in the groove on a sick jam with a handful of good musicians locked in on a headful.
for higher-dose stuff i prefer to be alone or with one, maybe two people.
at this point i really prefer to trip with people that are experienced, but when i can introduce someone new to it, the experience can be really great

They all have their perks I find, although i'm not a very experienced tripper. I've only tripped alone on acid and I find it very enjoyable, I love just being stuck in my own thoughts and reflections and manipulating my trip to music and vice versa. I went to a club on it once and it wasn't particularly enjoyable for me, I just couldn't really get into the music at all.
Tripped at a rave and out with friends on aMT and it's much better beccause of the euphoria, and then when you get home you can let the more trippy aspect overtake. Cos of the euphoria of aMT I don't like being trapped in the house I feel like I have to go out and do something.
What I really want to do is trip with someone very close to me, like a girlfriend, I could imagine it being such an intense and beautiful experience. Alas I don't know many girls into drugs, let alone psys.

Finding a special psychedelic friend would be AMAZING. Easier said than done, though. It's such an intensely private experience that you can't (shouldn't?) go deep with just anyone. And at the moment, there aren't any suitable candidates in my life. 
I've even tried to connect with people on BL, but so far to no avail. I'll give it some time ... it'll happen. 
To answer your question, I guess my preference is to fly solo in the absence of the "right company."

Me, myself, and muh MF'erin mind bbbbaby! If I can find someone i'll really meld then it will happen, just had to many trips trashed by cocky friends who thought they could will a trip anyway they want too. Besides IMO, tripping alone is where its at as you can fully immerse yourself in the experience without being muddled by others.

I prefer tripping alone myself. The main appeal of psychedelics for me is the introspection. I find it hard to get lost in the effects with other people present, including my girlfriend. I can still have a great time, I just like going deep and the presence of other people inhibit that from happening. The presence of others I find grounding
Yeah, the guy left once I texted my buddy and told him to kick the other guy out of there. It was intense.
The quantum physics argument had to do with free will...I was on 18mg of 2C-E but my buddy was only on 6mg. We decided to do a hawaiian hot-box (steam-bath combined w/ smoking a bong-bowl) while listening to some super-avant-garde classical music (Edgard Varese). The weed+the claustrophobic setting+ the fucked-up music probably contributed to a negative mindstate, but I finally provoked my buddy by trying to demonstrate that free-will was an illusion. He formed the impression that I was trying to make an outright philosophical attack on science per se. The best trips I've ever had WITH company have consisted of mostly remaining silent during the peaking and then being able to talk it out / debrief during the come-down phase.
