Is talking to strangers on e still the done thing?

[Youkai]

on the subject of talking/interacting with people while on mdma, I'll take it further on be on LSD. When I used to follow the shows and had strong lsd connections I would LOVE to go around to the families in there tents and talk to them about mystal experiences and shit. sometimes they would get scared of the big eyed man jabering about deeper mroe true realities but eventualy they came around and either asked where the L was or had a nice conversation with me.

whenever i am on E,i have no fear of approaching any hot model type of girl
when i am not on E, i have fear of approaching any hot girl

Without trying to bag alcohol (as I am one of its greatest fans), isn't it just wonderful how a group of people on E just want to chat, make friends, and be loving etc while I find that the same group of people who are pissed off their heads from booze are agro, looking for a fight, not a happy bunch.

I think there is a message there (and the Security guards know this) whenever a rave is being held.

Absolutely. I get all anxious if I take pills alone so I want to be around people, hence the connection with strangers who are also on it. Not so good when they aren't cause people on e tend to talk a lot of shit haha.

 

[Wonderdrug]

It would have to be A for me.

I chat to so many people on E and I find a lot of people just come up to me and talk about random shit. Its proper mental though cos you know your chatting complete arse but its seem like the most interest convo you've ever had.

I remember once I was out in the car with a few mates and we'd all had a few pills, the guy driving put the Indicator on and we were all just loving the beat in it. HAHA!!!

Very social drug. Nice to make some new 'friends' when your inhibitions are lowered, and your ego is also much higher.

wow - i never knew so many people actually do not like to socialise when they dunk one. all this time i thought it was nothing but love love love but i guess now ill be thinking twice before going up to a complete stranger and offering them a cigarette and a hug

my preferred locations for mdma consumption are at local psytrance parties in the bay area and black rock city, nv.

i've spent time at both these locations while not experiencing the effects of mdma and find that strangers generally welcome an advance and are normally interested in a conversation which goes beyond the phatic small talk.

so, while mdma undoubtedly greases the wheel, i think the setting is as big a, if not a bigger, factor.

I definitely believe that MDMA allows you to put some barriers down. I am usually pretty quiet (before you get to know me), but when I'm on E and I start to feel it, I cannot stop talking. It doesn't matter who is around me, all I want to do is talk!

I remember the first time my friend rolled, she was a HUGE talker, I don't think I have ever seen someone talk so much in my life. I wanted to tell her "Take a breath before you pass out!"

The first time I went to a rave, I had only rolled a couple times and I was really taken aback at how friendly people were. I was just standing there watching my husband play with glowsticks, and I remember this guy coming up to my and asking "Why I wasn't dancing" I was kind of shocked I didn't even know what to say.

Good times...

Number 1, generally.

Although, I've had a few unfortunate incidents where I have had to be evacuated by concerned friends (thankfully) from interactions where I was so fucking obviously the target of old, crusty, dirty and plainly (to the un E-Tainted eye) homosexual men. Once I even left the club. =o

Looking back on these situations sober is scary. And no, I'm not a homophobe - these aren't your funny, cool type of gay man. They're predators, I think lost punk lives near me, may be able to attest.

It's been said before, but the warning "may cause innapropriate emotional bonding" applie.

Besides that, I couldn't talk to strangers unless I am blind-drunk or on x.

-edit- can still be barely see, just woke up (5PM, damn reversed sleeping).

 

[waterfreak]

i was rolling one time and i couldnt find a friend of mine, well he had went outside to talk to someone and i when went out there i had the longest talk with this dude about his car. i had never met the guy before.....as someone else said e breaks down the barriers and i think its not just when your rolling either...its forever!

 

[blue/diamonds.]

i just got with whatever feels right at the time. but i always try and go out of my way to be nice.

 

[drancer]

Yes, yes. Being nice to people and having that reciprocated on e gives me a warm buzzy feeling. It's like being on top of the world

 

[rolls]

Being complimented on E is fantastic, always improves my buzz.

 

[throwitallaway "]

Yea, i'd talk to everyone and anyone on a good e buzz.

 

[Rozinski]

i just talk to the other ppl dancin or workin sticks tell them how dope whatever they are doin is. most ppl are cool ive never met a dick at a party who was rollin usually you just bob your head and look around lock eyes w someone else whos diggin the groove and start a convo

 

[Styrofoam Cheeto]

I'm usually too involved in my own little world of enjoying the music, so I don't talk to people unless they talk to me. But that's how I met my best friend in the world, at a rave, her and her bf came up and started talking to me and my husband. I'm so glad they did!

 

[jez2005]

it's great to talk to strangers on E.
last couple of years I haven't been so social: probably to do with seeing the same people at local parties.

just got back from creamfields and it has got my faith back in E and the great social affect that it can have: talked to loads of people and had a great time.

i do approach people, and i am approached. but i don't approach haphazardly, and it does depend on who approaches me whether i respond favourably for a long talk ... more than used to be the case in my early e days, where everyone was kinda a friend, hehe. And then sometimes some people just get so talkative and speak at 120bpm (banalities per minute) and as much as they may be lovable people I just want to enjoy my high at that time and not connect with their energies which may not be compatible with mine, no matter if we're both "loved up" . . . . e doesn't break down all barriers wholesale to an experienced user I guess. I still discern a bit whether I like the person, I do discriminate a little, though obviously a lotless than i would usually do. Having said that, I still have the 'magic' of e when I abstain for a few weeks before using, which I tend to do. It still opens me up, I am just less prone to totally non-discriminating naïveté, and I guess that's something to do with how long I have used this material as well as my age and how much time I have spent in that social setting of 'clubland' . . . yeah, but I still voted "A" cos it's true. I have met long-term friends for the first at clubs, on e.

Other factor that influence how much I mingle ... the general vibe (group consciousness foundation = regular society). For instance, in the UK it's easier to mingle than in many countries in continental Europe, it's just more fluid.

 

[Ravr]

Well I'm really a shy person, even when I'm high I'm reserved and don't actually approach people. But a lot of people who are high, whenever I go to parties do approach me and they try to converse with me.
