so I decided to try acid for the first time and am wondering if I should do it alone. I know the general consensus is to do it with a guide or something like that but I have a pretty bad social anxiety and prefer to do things alone, all drugs I have ever tried were better alone so I was wondering as long as I created a nice environment and put away any potential hazard am I good. What is your opinion??/
 
I've always preferred to take psychedelics alone because I enjoy the quiet introspection. Anyhows, just err on the side of caution and take a mild dose to start with, and yep, trip somewhere familiar and fond.
 
If you have a lot of anxiety in your life right now there is some potential for a negative experience. If you're still sure this is what you want to do, I concur with velmwend, start with a low dose. The key is you want to feel safe. If you do get some fear or panic during the come up, just relax and go with it, don't fight it. The very first acid trip was April 19th, 1943 and Albert Hoffman said it was a bad trip at first but once he figured out he wasn't going to die, it turned out the be a positive experience.

From Wikipedia:

Hofmann’s condition rapidly deteriorated as he struggled with feelings of anxiety, alternating in his beliefs that the next-door neighbor was a malevolent witch, that he was going insane, and that the LSD had poisoned him. When the house doctor arrived, however, he could detect no physical abnormalities, save for a pair of incredibly dilated pupils. Hofmann was reassured, and soon his terror began to give way to a sense of good fortune and enjoyment, as he later wrote...

"... little by little I could begin to enjoy the unprecedented colors and plays of shapes that persisted behind my closed eyes. Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating, variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing themselves in constant flux ..."
 
If this is your first time with a major psychedelic, I would strongly suggest being around at least one friend. Is your anxiety high at home (or another comfortable place) around a friend or two?
 
The merit of having someone else on hand is that they can potentially distract you/break you out of bad thought patterns, but other folk can be a source of bad vibes and mess up the experience as well, depending on the situation. If you're a solitary person, then you're a solitary person. I myself almost never trip around other people, and say feel free to do as you will.
 
I aways trip on my own, or otherwise with my GF. Most of my other mates are into amphets and won't touch psychedelics.

Anyway, the first time I tripped I definetly wasent on my own, it never sounded like a good idea to me.

If you don't have any experience with the drug then you might freak out, if you've got someone with you, or even better, someone who has experience LSD before, they can help you, stop you from freaking, get you to breath right, tell you a joke to get your mind off loosing your shit.
 
You'll be fine, just take a LIGHT dose for your first trip.

I do most of my trips alone. I just prefer it that way.
 
Since its your first time I would go easy on the dose. No more than 2 hits until you know how you will handle it. It is probably not neccessary to have a guide at low to moderate doses and tripping by youself tends to be more spiritual. Nonetheless I would at least make sure you have a trusted friend that you can at least call up and talk about the trip if you just need someone to ground yourself to for a few minutes. Sounds like you have a good set and setting so you will most likely be just fine and have a great experience.

Hope you have a great trip. let us know how it went.

I honestly think if it's your first time you should do it with some close friends who are also tripping, sober people are annyoing while tripping though know that their on a level so beneath you that it's just irritating.
Once you get familiar with LSD then you can do it on your own, I'm at the stage where I trip on my own very often not high does just low doses and weed and some impeccable albums and guitar jamming, it really teaches you how much fun you can have with yourself.
