Why do druggies delude themselves into thinking no one realizes they are on drugs?

My cousin was "in a fog" on Christmas due to some kind of drug use. Disappeared several times, very spaced out, etc.

Just because no one calls you out on it, does not mean that no one notices. Everyone in my family noticed without a doubt.

To be clear, I am talking about significantly above normal doses of pharmys, psychedelics, or hard drugs.
 
For psychedelics and many hallucinogens this does not hold. However, I think you have a valid point. Its pretty much just BP disorder.
 
this topic goes either way

some people notice

some dont.......

love is blinding
 
rofl i have no idea....i know almost every hardcore heroin abuser i know thinks the same thing though.


when i was deep into dope i thought i was so sly that no one would notice. i also didnt realize that when i fight nods my eyes were rolling back into the back of my head.

i think its just a junky's way of being high whenever he wants and not having to feel guilt or whatever. he wants to get high but he wants to be around people so he lies to himself and makes himself believe no one notices so he doesnt have to deal with the issues.
 
Why not help this person out? Pull them aside, and say, "hey buddy, you look high as a motherfucker right now. Tone it down a little bit". I'm sure they would appreciate it.

I probably would have if it was any other family member.


I have not seen this girl for 4-5 years before this Christmas. Her family leaves 4 hours away, and are rarely at family gatherings. My aunt/uncle and other cousin have been down to our area once or twice a year, but this girl has not come down (she is 19 or 20 years old).

Everyone in the family also knows that she got arrested for burglary a couple of years ago. My mom googled her maiden name and it came up lol.

If this were my brothers or any of my other cousins who I actually have a relationship with, I would have set them straight. But I really have no relationship with this cousin and this kind of behavior has presumably been going on for several years now (her parents must be aware of what is going on)

I suppose it depends on the individual. If it were a family member of mine, they would know about my drug use, and that I do not frown upon it or judge them negatively for it. So they would have to be a real prick to say something like that to me, considering I would go about it very respectfully and with the sole intent of helping them "get away with it".

That happens to me a lot and I fucking hate it. I basically smell like shit most of the time and have anxiety issues. Both these things are non-drug related but people always accuse me of being on drugs because of it.

Just cause of the shit smell people think I'm an opiate addict, they seriously fucking think this and I want to FUCKING kill them when they say things.

I tried volunteering with a christian organization once and the people there basically rejected me because they thought I was on drugs when I was completely sober during that time. It was a soul destroying experience.

There are tons of reasons why someone might seem a little off. I dissapear alot during family occasions, I'm just like I have to go out and stay out for a long time, but it's because I can't take being around so many people sometimes, not because of drugs.

if you keep using drugs around people and no one calls you it reinforces the idea no one knows.
 
It depends on the drug, how experience the person is on the said drug, and how often they use the drug.

I go through majority of my days high as fuck, but no one notices. If they did, I would have been fired from my job already. Not to mention the fact that a lot of people who don't know me become surprised if I say I do drugs.

I can get away with no one noticing, on low to medium doses of opiates, any range of highness of weed, low to medium doses of ketamine or dxm, and stimulants low on low to medium doses.

If you don't act ridiculous or change your daily habits its a lot easier than you think to hide the fact that you are high. It does help to have started to do drugs back in middle school, as 4+ years of hiding your drug use from your parents is a useful skill.
 
it really messed with me ,i once was so easy going and had great speaking ability ,and memory now im so nervous of how im acting around them i fuck up my words ,forget stuff in the middle of a sentence ....

it hurts more than anything ,its like they enjoy making me feel like shit ,and making me look pathetic in front of people
 
What does "in a fog" mean exactly? Like nodding off at the dinner table? Or just staring off into space? Maybe she was extremely upset about being there, not everyone likes spending holidays with their families.

If you really are pissed about it, and your post makes it sound like you are, then you should of said something. Otherwise you are just another enabler and you have no right to bitch about it. Do you feel like she personally offended you/your family by showing up in that condition? It sounds like you don't know her very well, you just want to bitch about it, and you're judging her based on a small amount of observed evidence.

If you really gave a shit about your cousin, go meet her and get to know what she's about.
 
its like someone thinking they are cool to drive when they are too shitfaced

no one will ever admit to being high unless they are around other high people
 
Pffft..

most of the time I get accused of being fucked up on drugs I am completely sober.. I find there's no need to even try to hide anything as long as you arent:

1) gurning ridiculously
2) uncontrollably blacking out in front of people
3) drunk as shit
 
I didn't realize someone I lived with and knew for over 15 years started smoking meth until almost half a year later when they offered me some. I knew them very closely and was old enough to understand drug effects. I was very weirded out by them standing at the fridge organizing magnets for hours on end and them not sleeping for days, but I wasn't familiar with meth.

I never suspected it from her new best friend either, I just thought it was his personality to be so talkative and wide-eyed. I noticed things but didn't ever think drugs. Most people aren't really in the know and sure enough to accuse, or they know the person so well they'd never suspect it. Now when I act the same way my friend did, I assume people just think I am hyper or weird.
