ok so i know many drugs can boost your self confidence and friday im going to a party i had the choice to drink or do shrooms and i chose shrooms because its been a long time and i know people say a party isnt the best place to do it but what alot of ppl may consider a "bad trip" i still tend to enjoy bcuz im normally still aware that what i see are only hallucinations and since i recently became single again im looking to flirt it up a little and what not so i was wondering if shrooms has any effect on your self confidence seeing how i tend to be a very timid person but a help in self confidence wich i normally get from alcohol always boosts my charisma
 
If the person in front of me has a mane of fire and an entire cosmos in their eyeballs, the last thing on my mind is flirting confidently.

But I'm not much of a PUA.
 
erm...maybe? I guess in the sense that I tend to care less what people think, but I don't normally go "wow, I am so self-confident right now!"

btw, punctuation/paragraphs do(es) wonders for intelligibility...i suggest you apply with much vigor

good to know but ive never heard of a drug that does that only ones that subconsciously make u more self confident and i dont tend to flirt here on bluelight nor do i plan to use im or anything like that to communicate at the party but i am aware of that :) thxx
 
Mushrooms tend to make me more anxious than most psychedelics (and this seems to be true for many other people) so this sounds like a bad idea to me.

Psychedelics don't give you an immediate boost in self-confidence like what your looking for anyway. They do have the potential to making individuals feel more confident and sure of themselves after they have gone through a particularly therapeutic trip that caused them to undergo a general change in the way the view the world. This effect is not immediate or pharmacologically based but instead results from a psychological change or realization from having your consciously so strongly altered.

It honestly sounds like your looking for something more like alcohol or cocaine although I'm not suggesting you start experimenting with coke. I would strongly suggest you save your mushrooms for a time when you can really trip and not have to worry about socializing or acting normal.

dude, seriously, punctuation....right now, ^^^is completely unintelligible, cant understand what you are trying to say
 
I think this is a terrible idea. Psychedelics generally lend themselves to introspection and over-analysis, not self-confidence; mushrooms in particular can be very confusing and frighteningly ego-shredding. Stow the shrooms and have a few cocktails.
 
there are also so many different kinds of shrooms its rediculous and almost all have a slightly diferent effect.
Strong ones like these little mexican ones i got were like doing acid cept all ya wanted to do was curl up in a blanket and space out in total comforts ,were others ya want to get out and explore etc......

Absolutely agree... curiosity, obviously youve not yet tried shrooms? If so you would know they are likelier than about any other drug to cause panic, anxiety, psychological cocooning & withdrawal, ego destruction, etc.

Its not just "hallucinations" that you feel you are knowing enough to ignore... but the entire basis of your reality can become so shifted that you have zero memory that did ANY drug and can go into a mental/emotional spiral in which you are in a loop asking yourself "What is wrong with me? What happened? Was I poisoned? OhfuckOhfickOhfuck.... someone please help... god save me... I am so stupid... bad bad stupid me!" Ummm... not exactly a party state of mind... most likely everyone else there will resent you thereafter for having a public meltdown and "ruining" their party mood!

There is a poll on BL somewhere I think under "Have you ever had a bad trip." Check it out... the #1 answer by far as to what caused it? MUSHROOMS. Very significant result.

They are NOT party drugs!

Perhaps low-dose LSD or 2C-I would be mind enhancing without being confusing.
 
1.8 g's made me feel like the most confident guy on the planet. I felt like the fuckin man.

But I was also overly sensitive. It didn't take a lot to pull me down.
 
yea if you wanna eat shrooms to be social and meet someone , thats a horrible idea. It may work out well that way, but many times you plan to eat the shrooms for that certain goal and they will do the oppisate effect on you.

If you do eat em, just go with the flow and if you feel a boost of confidence from them then go with it, but dont let it ruin your night if you feel the oppisate :/

A moderate dose like 1.8g might be OK,but as you say, they make you VERY sensitive and fragile and many a wonderful glowing trip has go into a downward spiral of horror at the slightest sometimes totally unknown provocation.

The fact that you are asking this question tells me that you havent experienced shrooms enough to have experienced 'what alot of ppl may consider a "bad trip"'


I think that psychedelics are good for enhancing a relationship that has already been started, but due to the social games required to initiate a relationship I think psychedelics are not good for starting a relationship...

I know you are just talking about fliterting with some chicks or whatever which is different from trying to hookup or whatever, but I think when on psychedelics anything that requires a facade to participate in becomes pretty difficult...

For me its very difficult to tell a believable lie while on psychedlics. Its just so unnatural for me to lie while on psychedelics that even if I can successfully tell the lie, everyone I tell it to will know its a lie from the way I go about saying it... you know what i mean?

and flirting is essentially lieing in a metaphorical kinda way ... communicating for the purpose of an agenda other than for the importance of the transfer of data... (i wish I could explain this better, but im sure some of you know what im saying ..... )

ok heres an example... when a girl tells you something that is supposed to be a joke or is really interesting to her but completely uninteresting / WTF-ish to you, Instead of being able to naturally act like it is something you are interested in and give a little white lie of a laugh you will just have that confused look on your face like "o....k..... wt...f..."



now if you actually meet a really cool chick that isnt into the whole "facade at first" thing, that you generally are really copatible with , then it could possibly help induce conversations that otherwise wouldnt have happened due to your state of openness from the psychedelics.....
 
Don't recommend it, if your the only one soley eating mushrooms then your gonna have a different time than everyone else and they may singl you out easily if you freak out... or maybe not, they'll be drunk and oblivious maybe!
 
ILL HELP U GET CONFIDENT
smokesomeshitwit me fuckmushrooms n u better have big tits n a tight clit im playin dun ban me suck me
 
I once decided to take shrooms at a party, got to the door and couldn't even go in. It then took me an hour to find my way back to the friends house we had come from so I could sit somewhere peaceful. (It was 4 doors away). Be warned, it can be great in small doses, in big doses the last place you want to be is surrounded by drunk people.
