I have tried lsd before a few times and am looking foward to trying it some more. I have a question concerning tripping on LSD and social life. My social skills are not the best. I'm 24 years old and i feel like im just starting to learn how to manage social settings.

Is LSD bad for someone who lacks social skills, like makes them more isolated after use or does it have no effect on this. Basically should i stay away from lsd if i have some social anxeity.
 
at low doses it might increase ur social skills but at high doses u shoeld defiently stay away from this

anyway its diffrent from ppl to ppl so i say just try it at low dose and u will know
 
it could be great with people you trust and you feel comfortable being 'altered' around, but i would caution using it simply as a social lubricant especially around squares who might not appreciate your trippy jokes.
 
During the effects of the cid, you will definately be awkward. Psychedelics show you yourself. Be prepared for what you find and accept it when you do.
 
My experiences with LSD helped me to be able to see things from others' points of view in my sober, day-to-day life, but obviously everyone's experiences are going to be slightly different.

For what it's worth, I was diagnosed as having Asperger Syndrome at a young age, so this was a significant change in my life. Tripping was in no way a cure, or even a treatment for the "symptoms" as they are, but it did help me to broaden my perspective somewhat, which in turn aided my personal development greatly.

During a trip, I find that my social and conversational difficulties are still there, but I pay them much less attention than I usually would.

High doses make rational thought nigh-impossible, so socialising is also difficult for me on harder trips.

Whatever you do, don't put the tripping experience "on a pedestal" if you're worried about disconnecting from people - you'll just spend all your time tripping, like I did for a while there :)
 
While tripping on LSD? No, it will make you less social (though if everyone around you is also tripping, i don't find it as uncomfortable), unless you're on a really low dose (ie, too low for the experience to have the character of a trip)

After the experience is over, and you've had a good night's rest? Won't be a problem.
 
I have a hard time socializing sober but when I take LSD its almost impossible for me to communicate with people. It defiantly goes away after I come down from the trip though. I've tripped on L over 30 times and I haven't gotten any residual effects.
 
It depends on how much you do it, when you're tripping - a lot of psychedelics will make you want to be alone, usually the next day you're back to normal, but if you've done a particularly large amount or have been tripping a lot lately you can be "fried" and have difficulty communicating, getting your thoughts in order, approaching people, etcetc - it goes away after a bit, but just keep that in mind.
 
I personally DID lose some social immersement when I started routinely taking psychedellics but I felt I was really on a personal journey that I had to be in alone to understand, language did not tap into the insights I felt I was having, so if you find meaning in LSD trips, drug spiritualism it could isolate you potentially but likely only if you preach it, its like christians pushing thier religion, it just doesnt go off well, so maintain your own beliefs and respect other, even if trip entities tell you secrets of reality.

even if
 
I agree with sega lsd is a completely amazing drug for social anxiety. I know that I feel able to do anything better on low doses of lsd I am more intune with myself I guess hard to explain...
 
It may help you realize how you may improve your social skills. Acid lasts a long time, and generally I go into hyperspeed where thoughts unravel quickly, emotions run high, and I become engrossed with just about any direction I take. I like to keep a piece of paper and pen handy in case I need to write. There a moments when I get realizations of who I have to actually be. I write down a couple of phrases... and then I'll think about it for weeks afterward. I thought a lot of what I should be, and how I should present myself to the world. What influence should I give to the world. What message should I give to the world. well what does everyone else do.... and I ponder for so long.

I've been using psychedelics know for just about 5 years. I use to be very socially awkward, and sometimes I still am. However, I came to this realization that everyone feels that weird energy... or if it is just me that feels it I can triumph it through my realization of it... just like everyone else. I have learned to be more vocal... but not too get more complex than need be. I try to stay simple and talk with a positive tone... because i feel people are more receptive to that even if you don't say the worlds most best phrase. People like to be in communication. It is comforting. It is work required of to ends... listening and talking. I have also learned that is best for me to say yes to getting involved rather than being frightened of the possibility of conflict.

I have also learned to realize my own greatness... and my own contributions to the positivity of society.



By the way... I still go in and out of emotions... and i experience them greatly... I am no longer afraid to tell anyone the truth about anything... although I do not go around boasting the truth.... all in all I have come to ultimately love everything... I appreciate being a spec of dust in the great cosmic explosion. All is one and so on and so forth.


I dropped a good amount man.... I feel that it was a better choice than trying out anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications. Those can be beneficial, but I feel the trap people. I believe I can stop using psychedelics at any moment really. I use them in spurts. Sometimes I binge.... sometimes I don't. When I first began I did my research... figured out productive ways of using psychedelic chemicals. I worked with them a lot in the beginning... Now I occasionally use them for fun at times... and then I also use them to figure things out.... I also use them to show the wonders of them to other people. These chemicals can be very beneficial... It all depends on how you use them... and the amount of work you put into them. Psychedelics hold whatever you put into them... I am constantly discovering new methods of using them and new methods of controlling my life... I am at a point where I feel like every day is the best day of my life.


By the way... There are many things you can do. Psychedelics are not the only thing out there that can improve our social skills. Whatever you do, though, I suggest you do research and actively think about the many instances in the world... rather than signing yourself up for the first thing that comes to view... Think about what you are gonna do, read about it, do it, and think of how it affects you. compare it to what you have read... and make a decision of where you should go. Sometimes you don't even need drugs... a counselor could help you... Or even family or a friend. Reach out and talk about your social skills with someone... It is always helpful to be able to confide in someone. I have a few people that i can tell anything to... everyone else though I only reveal myself based on their own interactions... Sometimes I feel I might frighten them with a new idea. There are so many different people in this world... It is hard to please everyone when so many different ideas of who to be are constantly running through out heads.... One day we'll figure it out.


Psychedelics are great. They can be challenging. They can scare the fuck out of you. They can make you cracked out for a little bit. You can remain an amazing person while using them. You can improve aspects of your life through work with em.



Sorry for the lengthy ramble... the marijuana is setting in nicely after a nice day's work. Be safe. Peace.
 
I dislike tripping around sober people, particularly sober people who do not understand the drug. I was tripping balls around this girl and her boyfriend, they were looking at me like I was crazy and asking if I was ok every couple of minutes because I would say something that did not make sense to them...

On higher doses your behavior is just too weird to be around people that are not in the same head space as you. Like personally I think 2c-e makes a poor socializing drug, unless you are with your best friend that you know very well.
