How do you handle those strong empathetic feelings that can't be easily resolved?

Although MDMA and it's analogues such as Methylone are generally recreational drugs today, they still have that intense empathetic quality to them that brings out problems and feelings that you know you need to work on. While under the influence of these drugs it's incredibly easy as the barriers for embarrassment, judgment, and even consequences are eliminated or at least greatly reduced but as soon as they wear off reality always kicks back.

I'm a very reserved and introverted person and as such I don't like to communicate a lot with others which results in me keeping feelings tucked away however empathogens have an annoying habit of going in and moving all of those feelings that are tucked away and brings them right back to the forefront and shines a spotlight on it as well as how to fix it.

My question for all of you is what do you do with these feelings and revelations brought about by empathogens?

Does anyone else have a hard time actually following through with doing what you are certain is the right thing to do?

Has anyone had any great outcome by following the advice/motivation brought about by an empathogen?
 
I'll have a little chat with a friend (who is also on MDMA) and it will usually help.
 
I'd say work out your problems, talk to a close friend about them (on MDMA) and get then out of the way.

You'd be surprised how much better you'd feel in "reality" once you confront your fears. Confidence, love, acceptance and even extroverted personality traits might very well be integrated into your psyche.

There's a reason it's used for PTSD man.

The only thing is you have to warn your trip buddy about your intentions for this one trip, or you might end up overwhelming them or getting them to focus on something they don't want to focus on. But generally, after it's out of the way in your first real "deep" trip, you won't have to face them again, and you'll be able to enjoy the MDMA again without having to deal with those awkward feelings, both on and off MDMA.
 
There's only one way really and that's to talk them through. MDMA is very good at helping you do this without fear of embarrassment. Just do the roll with a person you trust and be prepared to listen to the other person too.
 
mdma brought out the best in me IMO and it was just the oposite as what you are describing. I didn't have to work to bring out those qualities while not on MDMA. Just a few sessions and they came out on their own. it was only after I quit doing MDMA that they started to creep back in.

I think MDMA showed me the person I wanted to be and I implamented it without much thought at all. after taking MDMA it felt more natural to let that person shine through than to hold him back, even when sober.
