Did you get into drugs from being a loner or extrovert?

Same, my girfriend at the time introduced me to it. Apart from that and some marijuana, I didn't get into the hard stuff until I was 23 (the hard stuff being smoking heroin). I wouldnt say it was by being an introvert at all, although I did use it to (surpress my depression), as I had to be outgoing in order to earn the trust of those who were selling it. Whatever depressive tendencies I used to have back then seem to be gone now though as when I stop using I'm actually particularly extroverted. I love my sober self and hate myself while I'm using, if anything using sends me introverted more so than I ever was. I sneak around alone and use alone, dont see friends or answer calls. If it wasnt for the fact that I'm living with my family I'd see no one except whoever I'm scoring from.
 
Uhh, I'm definitely an introvert, but I found drugs because I was emotionally damaged and screwed up, and I gravitated to other damaged and screwed up people. And since damaged and screwed up people gravitate to opiates, it was kinda inevitable I'd end up around them too.

I've never regretted starting drugs, or opiates, or heroin. I've spent a lot of time regretting shit I did because of my heroin habit. But I've never regretted trying drugs. Because to me, it was never a choice.

I might not have wound up trying opioids exactly when I did, but I think it was inevitable I would have sooner or later. And inevitable that I'd have gotten addicted to them.

So I have no regrets for something I honestly feel I had no control over.
 
Ya I’d say I’m naturally more introverted, but I’m not shy by any means. Being strung out has definitely made me more of an introvert if anything. I’m definitely more sociable and interested in relationships when I’m clean.
I’m not entirely sure how I ended up a junkie. I hung out with the hippie/stoner crowd in high school, but none of them got into hard drugs. Through friends of friends and a chance encounter during a ride home from a festival I tried heroin. Fast forward 9 years and I’m still a miserable junkie. Working my way out of it though. I always had a curiosity about drugs, but mostly psychedelics. I probably had a slight inclination to try everything once, but I never tried to seek it out. Being into certain artists/poets/musicians like William S. Burroughs and whatnot, I often wonder if that played any role or if I’m just more into that kind of thing now because I can relate. I guess I’ve always had a deep fascination with the hidden subsets of society, the fringes if you will.
 
I could never take Burroughs seriously after he took mushrooms and shit himself with terror.
 
Was big into the UK legal high scene and decided to try something one day (not smoking blend), didn't have any close friends so just experimented myself.
 
Originally a serious, depressed loner.. but since age 25 (20y) I am an extreme extrovert/ENFP

Transition from cannabis to alcohol and amphetamines (excluding meth) may explain, but really it was the jobs I held - CSR, etc. I rose to the top in those..
 
I'm a loner in the sense that I need at least 3 days every week by myself and can't stand hanging around people for more than 2 consecutive days unless we're binging speed.

However, I got into drugs quite "late" in the game, at 22/23 - a friend at work introduced me to weed, another to LSD and MDMA; my sister introduced me to benzos and opiates.

Now I mostly do drugs to alleviate boredom and the urge to exit this shitshow called life early.

I got into drugs when I ended up at a new school in the country where the social groups were really tight and people from the city largely resented.

The stoners were the only group that welcomed me and I just kind of slowly morphed into being one of them until I could leave that town and get back to the city.

In general though i have a lot of trouble understanding and managing group dynamics so I usually only socialise with one person at a time. So I’ve never been in big parties where everybody was pinging and all in the moment together. I’d be uncomfortable.

Dear god, do I agree with you on socializing with one, at most two, people at a time. I loathe "group-hang"; first of all it easily gets all Kumbayah and shit, but foremost I think most people act like idiots when there are to many people around them. They take on another persona. You never get to know someone while hanging out with 9 other people.
At least I can't seem to figure that shit out.
