Confusing LSD

So yesterday I took a hit of acid with my good friend and my girlfriend, both of which had only taken weak acid before, and we went to a wonderful park known as "The Arboretum". It's a beautiful botanical garden with plants from all over the world, really a wonderful place.
The trip started off really well, and I started to think very philosophically about life, the world, society, etc... I couldn't stop explaining all the concepts and ideas, but it slowly became apparent I was going perhaps a little bit too fast for my friend and my girlfriend was getting really quite quiet (she is a kind of quiet girl at times).
My friends confusion, instead of becoming apparent to me, sort of began to spread to me. I became confused and had a hard time putting sentences together, and so did he, while my girlfriend had become mostly silent and the trip was starting to edge on going bad. Also, it was incredibly hot, which may have had a large part to play as well.
In the end, the trip tied up fairly well, we left and went to go buy some water and hang out at the neighborhood park, cooled down and started to feel better but still somewhat affected by the earlier negativity. My girlfriend opened up and began talking more at the end of the night, which is great..
My question is, has anyone else felt this sort of shared confusion? It's hard to properly explain, but I am curious. Anything similar would be interesting to hear as well. Also, anyone have advice to avoid such an occurrence?
 
Yeah. Empathy is amplified so much on most psychedelics that you actually start to feel other peoples' feelings as they were your own. This can be very confusing at times.

When next this happens, make a conscious effort to shift your own head into a positive mindspace. The others will follow. Mind is a powerful thing, especially a tripping mind. ;)
 
Dreads got it right, this happens to group when something throws of the trip dynamic. Push positivity in an earnest way and watch your friends faces light up :) It's really the greatest thing realizing you can like... make people happy! :D
 
Totally, you can drag each other down or pull each other up!
 
It was a pretty interesting experience for me, as most of my tripping has been on my own.
I'm looking forward to more positive experiences.
 
Could just be me, but I noticed that in the past the hotter it is the harder I trip. For example, the same dose of LSD taken at home in a cool environment won't have me tripping as hard as if I was at the beach sitting in the sun. Also, you'll generally pickup (existent or even non-existent) vibes from the people around you. Sounds like your friends were going into a dark or introverted place and as a result you started to as well. Getting stuck in a thought loop sorta.
 
Dude you were tripping her out badly because you were talking too much and explaining too many ideas.

Instead, when taking LSD especially in nature....just be quiet. Feel everything around you, leave the talking for later when the peak experience wears off.
